Heavy Metals Detoxing - Frequently Asked Questions

Exposure to toxic heavy metals is believed to be a contributing factor, if not a root cause, of symptoms like constant fatigue and every day chronic illnesses. Heavy metals enter your bloodstream then travel throughout your body and penetrate the cells of various tissues and organs, where they can remain stored for years. However, it is possible to bind up and detoxify these metals and pollutants by drawing them out from these sites and transporting them out of the body for elimination.

Clean Slate is two parts science and one part magic. The magic happens when the body starts to get cleaned up and is able to start rebalancing, regenerating and healing itself. The honeycomb molecular structure of the nano crystals in Clean Slate act like little scavengers working through the body. The special crystals are negatively charged and naturally attract the positively charged toxins such as heavy metals, pesticides and other chemicals and harmful substances at a cellular level and eliminates them through the urine.

There are over 80 different types of zeolites but the most powerful metal detox is clinoptilolite, a naturally occurring volcanic mineral which has been used for thousands of years. We source clinoptilolite from one of the purest mines in the world. It has a unique honeycomb cage structure with a powerful negative charge which attracts and binds 1,000's of positively charged heavy metals and other toxins and eliminate them through the urine. Clean Slate is different to any other detoxifier because of its patent-pending proprietary process which takes the raw materials through three days of fracking and polarisation. This cleans and breaks apart the honeycomb structure of the clinoptilolite into much smaller fragments, resulting in a bioavailable form of silica or orthosilicic acid which flood the body and eliminate toxins at a cellular level.

Most heavy metals detox products create side effects or the body may become dependent on them or depleted. However, Clean Slate has minimal side effects and cannot be overdosed. The passive removal of toxins allows the body to do some very interesting things so any “effect” you may feel will be a detox response also known as a "Herx reaction". These are mild physical effects such as changes to the colour or smell of your urine, a headache or itchy skin. You may feel a desire to 'flush' your system through in the initial days so you lots of water. These are simply signs that your body is working and doing its job properly.

Clean Slate is recommended as the foundation of your detox no matter what age you are. We are all toxic! Just like you continue to clean your house, wash your sheets or take your weekly rubbish out, think of Clean Slate as your internal housekeeper. Although Clean Slate is recommended for adult use only on the label, it is safe for newborn babies up to the elderly. It is even safe for expectant Mums.

The recommended dosage of Clean Slate is UP TO 10 drops orally twice a day. Ideally you take it first thing in the morning and just before bed in a glass of water or under the tongue so that it works in line with your circadian rhythm. It's always advisable to start slowly at a very low dose of just 1 x drop (not dropper) for a few days and then titrate up slowly by adding 1 x drop at a time. Increase your dose every few days and monitor closely how you feel. Young children only need a small dose of 1-2 drops am/pm. And don't forget your pets, they love Clean Slate and dogs and cats only need 1-2 drops added to their food every day to keep them healthy.

There is nothing else like Zero-In, it is completely unique in the natural health market. Root have brought together a powerhouse blend of five adaptogens and two catalysts that, when taken orally messages the gut to produce the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin and send them to the brain. The result is a boost in mood, relaxation, razor sharp focus, better concentration, mental clarity and just feeling really good! It's interesting to note that men and women respond differently to dopamine so your results could be different to your partner.

The recommended dose for Zero-In is to take one capsule in the morning on an empty stomach and a second capsule in the afternoon. One capsule is able to provide benefits for up to five hours. Some people find taking two capsules in the morning is all that's needed for an amazing day. It is not recommended to exceed more than 4 capsules in one day.

Zero-In will normally “kick in" approximately 20 minutes after you have taken it on an empty stomach. In some instances, you may be dopamine deficient, and the full effect of Zero-In may take a couple of days. This is to give your body a chance to produce more neurotransmitters to bring you to “normal” and beyond.
