So you are required to take a drug test for work or for a pre employment screening and you don’t think that you will be able to provide a clean sample.  There is just not enough time for whatever toxins present in your body to naturally leave your system.  What can you do?  You have heard about detox drinks that enable you to pass a drug test but do they really work?  Not all drinks are created equal.  Which one is right for you or are they all the same?

The first thing you need to understand is that you can’t smoke a joint on the way to the test and expect to pass.  You need to let your body metabolize the substance before the drinks can be effective.  The process is pretty fundamental.  When you ingest the substance your body breaks it down and releases the metabolites into your bloodstream where they attached themselves to your fat cells.  You need to let this process take place before you can expect the detox drinks to be effective.  The drinks flush out whatever toxins are present in your urinary tract and then prevent your body from breaking down the fat cells so that no metabolites are released into your sample for up to five hours.  There has to be a grace period between when the substances were taken and when the test will be.  For heavy users with a high toxin level or for people with a larger body mass of say over two hundred pounds, the time frame should be about 4 days or longer.  For light users or people with a smaller body mass and higher metabolism it still needs to be at least two days.  Once enough time has elapsed between the last usage and the test you must decide which drink is right for you.

Read the labels or the online product descriptions for the drinks that are specifically designed for people with higher toxin levels or larger body mass if that is your situation.  Supplementing your drink choice with some capsules might give you the added advantage to overcome high toxin levels.  As with any dietary supplement, you should consult your physician before taking a detox drink if you think there might be some complications associated with your current health problems.
