MediClear-SGS Vanilla by Thorne

This fits adults using a detox protein powder as a daily shake during an elimination diet or when dairy/soy cause digestive issues. It’s useful if you want 20 g of plant protein plus liver-directed nutrients while keeping sugars low. If your liver enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT on a metabolic or liver panel) run high, discuss root causes with a clinician first; this is nutritional support, not a treatment.

Broccoli seed extract provides sulforaphane glucosinolate, which turns on the cell’s antioxidant response pathway (the switch that upregulates your own detox enzymes). Glycine, taurine, and MSM add building blocks for phase II conjugation, the tagging-and-export step your liver uses to make compounds easier to excrete. Curcumin phytosome and milk thistle support liver cells, while betaine and methylfolate aid methylation (a small chemical tag used in detox and homocysteine control). Decaf green tea and grape seed supply additional antioxidants.

Mix two scoops in 10–12 oz cold water or unsweetened nut milk once daily. Start with one scoop for 3–5 days if you’re sensitive, then move to a full serving. Take with a meal for better tolerance. Separate by two hours from thyroid meds, certain antibiotics, and mineral-binding drugs so the vitamins and minerals don’t interfere. Many use it as a breakfast shake during 2–6 week elimination plans.

Avoid if you’re allergic to peas or rice. Use caution with blood thinners, since curcumin and high-dose vitamin E can increase bleeding risk; get clinician guidance. Gallstones or bile duct issues can flare with turmeric-containing products, so discuss first. Significant kidney disease warrants protein and mineral review. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: the botanicals here aren’t well studied—choose a prenatal protein instead. Monitor homocysteine and liver enzymes if you’re using this longer term.
