Bio-Clear is designed for daily detoxification, it is not intended for heavy metal detoxification.

On a daily basis, our bodies encounter toxins present in our food, beverages, the atmosphere, pollution, vehicle emissions, as well as common household items such as cosmetics, plastics, adhesives, and furniture.  Even when we exercise caution, avoiding these toxins can be quite challenging.  Additionally, some individuals may have genetic factors that make natural detoxification more challenging for them.

Bio-Clear does NOT contain binders or chelating agents.  Bio-Clear is a sulforaphane based detox product.  Bio-Clear contains ingredients high in glucoraphanin and myronaise, which when consumed are converted to sulforaphane. 

Sulforaphane induces the body’s natural detoxification system enzymes.  These enzymes eliminate many types of free radicals and environmental pollutants and trigger antioxidant action.  Sulforaphane enhances the production of glutathione, a critical antioxidant in the body, by up-regulating enzymes necessary for its synthesis and re-synthesis.  This increased availability of glutathione in the body's cells is significant for overall detoxification processes. 

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that plays a vital role in binding with toxins, including pesticides, aflatoxins, and air pollutants, forming compounds known as mercapturic acids.  These compounds are then excreted in urine, representing a key mechanism for removing toxic substances from the body.   Glutathione has the capacity to bind to various heavy metals, facilitating their excretion.  So, sulforaphane (the main mechanism behind Bio-Clear) may facilitate the detoxication of heavy metals by increasing glutathione synthesis.

These nutrients provide your body with the necessary support to combat toxins, manage stress, bolster immunity, and enhance overall health and gut well-being.  Importantly, it's worth noting that Bio-Clear does not contain any addictive components, allowing you to discontinue its use at any time.

Bio-Clear is suitable for both children and adults aged 4 and older.  

The serving size is determined based on the Recommended Daily Allowances for individuals aged 4 and above, which is a mandatory guideline. However, it's worth noting that some of our customers choose to halve the recommended serving size for children under the age of 4 or those who weigh less than 50 pounds. We always advise consulting with your healthcare provider if you have specific questions or concerns regarding your child's nutritional requirements

Capsules: 

Up to 100 lbs:  1 capsule daily.

Over 101 bs:   2 capsules daily.

Capsule size: 00

We recommend incorporating Bio-Clear into your daily routine whenever possible, as consistency is crucial.

Bio-Clear is a natural supplement that you can continue taking for as long as you find it to be advantageous.

Bio-Clear can be mixed into a smoothie or fruit juice successfully!

We have had customers report they had success mixing Bio-Clear into grape, apple, cherry, and cran-apple  juices.  Another customer has reported mixing in an actimel yogurt smoothie.  Strawberry and  blueberry smoothies have also been a customer favorite.   A few parents have reported mixing Bio-Clear in your childs morning cereal with great success.  Just make sure they drink the milk at the end!  

Another option we received from a customer is to mix the powder into a light colored juice like apple or orange and see what color you can make, like a science experiment as the powder changes to a purple color!

We suggest using a small hand held milk frother to mix the powder completely. 

If color is a problem for your child you can also try serving in a non see thru cup with lid and straw.  One customer said they used a stainless steel cup with stainless steel straw.

You can sift the powder into the liquid beverage to prevent any clumping.

Bio-Clear is a natural supplement and can be taken as long as you find it beneficial.

At this time there are no known adverse reactions or side effects.  As with any dietary supplement we recommend consulting your healthcare practitioner.

Bio-Clear should be stored in a cool, dry place.

Our team of experts and scientists formulate each product with the use of extensive research. We rely on a body of studies to make sure we’re using the best ingredients to support our customers health and well-being.:
