Do Detox Drinks Really Work? Part 2
One of the most important steps to take when using any detox product to pass a drug test is to stop using any toxins at least two to four days before your test date. When you smoke marijuana, your body uses up the THC and then releases a metabolite. The metabolites from THC attach themselves to your fat cells. So the more fat cells you have or the more metabolites you have from frequent smoking, the stronger detox product you need to pass a drug test.
Drinking a lot of water will make you go to the bathroom more but will do little to get rid of the metabolites because fat cells are not water soluble. When you burn the fat cells then the THC metabolites are released into the blood stream. Once in the blood stream these toxins find their way into the bladder and the kidneys and then into the urinary tract and they appear in your sample.
Most detox drink work by preventing your body from burning fat cells for three to five hours thereby preventing the release of the toxins into your urine sample. In order for your detox drink to work more efficiently you should not overeat when using the detox product. You should drink some additional water but not excessive amounts as this will lower your level of creatinine in your urine. Avoid excessive amounts of sugar and fatty foods when using the detox product as this will slow down your body’s ability to process the toxins out of your body. You should avoid using alcohol or any other intoxicating substance during the process as this will also inhibit the effectiveness of the detox product. Knowing what detox product is right for you and taking the appropriate steps will assure you success in passing your drug test.
