Cleansing Formula Mint Flavor
TerraVita
Overview
The effectiveness of TerraVita's Cleansing Formula is difficult to ascertain due to the use of a 'Proprietary Blend,' which does not disclose the amounts of individual active ingredients. While the ingredients (Black Walnut, Cloves, Quassia, Wormwood) have traditional uses and some preclinical evidence for digestive and antimicrobial effects, there is a lack of high-quality human clinical trials to support the efficacy of this specific formulation or combination at unknown doses.
The Good
Alcohol-free glycerite formulation, potentially suitable for those avoiding alcohol.
Contains traditional herbal ingredients known for digestive support.
Liquid form may allow for easier adjustability of dose and potentially faster absorption.
The Bad
Proprietary blend hides individual ingredient dosages, making efficacy and safety assessment difficult.
Lack of robust human clinical trials for the specific blend and glycerite forms of ingredients.
Potential safety concerns with Wormwood (thujone) and Quassia (reproductive toxicity in animal studies) at unknown concentrations.
