MediClear-SGS Chocolate by Thorne

If you’re doing a 2–4 week elimination diet or you don’t hit 20–30 grams of protein at breakfast, this detox protein powder is a practical anchor. It suits adults with desk-heavy days, lower fiber intake, or higher alcohol exposure who want structured liver and metabolic support. Check your labs first: if ALT, AST, or GGT (liver enzymes) run high, or homocysteine (a methylation byproduct) sits up, a formula like this can complement care while you work on diet. Thorne MediClear-SGS Chocolate is plant-based, so it fits dairy-free diets.

The pea–rice protein blend delivers 20 grams of complete protein to steady appetite and blood sugar. Curcumin phytosome and decaffeinated green tea extract raise antioxidant capacity, which can modestly lower hs-CRP (a blood marker of inflammation) in responders. Broccoli seed extract provides sulforaphane glucosinolate, which activates Nrf2 (the cell switch that upregulates your own detox and antioxidant enzymes). Milk thistle adds silymarin compounds for hepatocyte protection. Active B vitamins, betaine, and choline back methylation, which helps process homocysteine and run phase II conjugation steps in the liver.

Mix two scoops with water or unsweetened nut milk once daily. Use it as a breakfast or lunch shake, or as one structured meal during a 2–4 week reset. Add 5–10 grams of fiber (ground flax or psyllium) if you need more fullness. Most people tolerate it best with food. Expect steady effects, not a jolt: energy and regularity typically even out within 1–2 weeks, and any changes in hs-CRP or GGT are assessed after 4–8 weeks. Hydrate well to match the higher protein and minerals.

On prescription blood thinners like warfarin or the newer agents (apixaban, rivaroxaban), avoid or clear curcumin/green tea–containing blends with your clinician. If you have hemochromatosis or avoid supplemental iron, note the 7 mg of iron. Pregnancy or breastfeeding: this kind of detox protein powder with botanicals hasn’t been studied, so use a prenatal protein instead. Significant liver or kidney disease needs clinician guidance. Very sensitive guts may bloat on pea protein; start with half a serving.
