Thorne MediClear-SGS™ - Vanilla Review

Thorne MediClear-SGS is presented as an all-in-one daily detox product with protein, multi-vitamin, and multi-mineral support in a vanilla flavour. The page describes it as a powerhouse of daily nutrition that combines two plant-based proteins, a complete multi-vitamin and multi-mineral complex, antioxidants, broccoli seed extract, and liver-supportive botanicals, intended to help the body balance life in a toxic world. The product is described as having more protein, more detox factors, fewer carbohydrates, and added special nutrients than other daily detox alternatives, and is positioned as a more affordable and more complete formula. The powder is said to mix easily with water, juice, or a favourite beverage for on-the-go nutritional support, or to be blended into a smoothie with fruits and greens. The benefits listed include powerhouse nutrition with all-in-one daily protein and multi-vitamin and mineral support with added antioxidant support, daily support with a choice of chocolate or vanilla flavour, detox benefits that support the body's defences against modern toxic insults, and a powdered alternative to capsules that mixes with a favourite beverage. The features section states that rice and pea proteins are less likely to trigger an allergic reaction or cause digestive discomfort than common protein sources. It describes the vitamins and minerals as the most absorbable, best utilised forms, including the active forms of vitamins B6, B12, and folate, along with mineral chelates from Albion Laboratories. Reduced glutathione is presented as a well-absorbed form of the body's most abundant antioxidant. Glycine, glutamine, and taurine, along with vitamins A, C, and E, and minerals such as zinc and selenium, are described as building blocks the body uses to make and recycle antioxidants. Green tea and milk thistle extracts are said to promote healthy liver function, while curcumin and grape seed phytosomes are said to support a healthy inflammatory response. Sulforaphane glucosinolate from broccoli seed extract is described as helping to protect cells for up to 72 hours. The page states that the product has been third-party tested and certified to verify that what is in the package matches the label and that it contains no unsafe levels of contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and microorganisms. The warnings section includes a California Proposition 65 lead warning, and notes that the product is contraindicated for anyone with a history of hypersensitivity to its ingredients. It states that the grape seed phytosome uses phospholipids derived from soy, although the phospholipids contain no soy protein. It also advises caution for people with a known, serious peanut allergy because the product contains pea protein. Pregnant individuals are advised to consult a health-care practitioner before use. Interaction warnings cover a med with 5-MTHF folate and curcumin with cyclophosphamide, camptothecin-related agents, and irinotecan. The page lists a serving size of 2 scoops with 21 servings per container and a price of $90, or $81 with a subscription.
