How fast does a detox drink work? How much time does one need? And how well it works? There are myriads of questions that come to mind when you are facing imminent drug test. And even if you think you know it all, there is always a “what if?” stuck in your mind.

- Howdy, I’m having a test tomorrow, and I just have a couple questions about the product that I got.
- We would be glad to help you. Are the instructions unclear?
- Nope, it’s all good, but it says here “take two hours before the test” – why so long? What if I only have an hour?
- Well… you need a little more time than that. You need to allow the product to go through your body and flush the toxins out of your urine. If you submit a sample right away, you will be doing the opposite of submitting a clean sample – the toxins will be leaving your body and the first 2-3 urines are heavy contaminated.
- But I know there are products that require to be taken only 45 minutes before the test, how are they different from the ones that require two hours of preparation?
- There are different types of detox products, some are more concentrated and involve consuming large amounts of water with them. But you shouldn’t rely on the exact time that is recommended; focus on the number of times you go to the bathroom after you’ve taking the product. You need to urinate 3-5 times after you consumed the product.
- So, say, I peed four times within half hour, can I go for my test already?
- If you urinate that frequently within thirty minutes after you’ve taken the product, more than likely that it is not the product that is being processed through the body, but the fluids you drank beforehand. Make sure that you take the product as close to the time indicated on the instructions as possible, and that you urinate several times during the next hour after the consumption.

Following instructions might be crucial in passing a drug test. You have to understand how the product works and to be able to follow the time frames exactly as indicated. Waiting too little or too long before submitting a urine sample may lead to regrettable test results.
