FDA Guidelines and Safe Use
Always read the label and follow the recommended directions before taking a detox supplement. Dietary supplements are meant to support health and work best alongside healthy daily habits.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates dietary supplements differently from prescription drugs. While manufacturers are responsible for product safety and labeling, dietary supplements are not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.
Who Should Consult a Healthcare Provider Before Starting a Cleanse
Talk to your healthcare provider before taking detox supplements if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Take prescription medications
- Have liver, kidney, or other chronic health conditions
- Have an autoimmune condition or diabetes
- Need help choosing the right supplement
For personalized guidance, our Functional Medicine team works with patients across Massachusetts to recommend supplement plans based on their health history and wellness goals.
