Ingredient List of the Master Cleanse Diet

By Linda Riley

Master Cleanse diet is very low in cost as most of its ingredients are cheap and easy to obtain. Some of the main ingredients that you need are pure water, grade B Organic maple syrup, organic Cayenne pepper, organic lemons and sea salts. To further increase the effectiveness of the master cleanse, you can use side ingredients like herbal laxative tea, psyllium husk, wheat grass, natural decaffeinated herbal tea and hoodia extract.

The most neglected ingredient in the master cleanse diet is in fact the pure filtered water. Many people did not realise the importance and power of the pure filtered water. You must not use any kind of water in this master cleanse diet as other water contains chlorine and bacteria. And chlorine is a poison and if you drink chlorine water, you are adding in more poison to your body. Thus, it defeats the purpose of undergoing the master cleanse diet in the first place.

The lemon juice that you used must be freshly squeezed and not from the processed one as they contain too much sugar. That goes for the same as maple syrup which must be naturally squeezed. As for the cayenne pepper, you can either get it in the powered form or the liquid form, both are the same. As for the salt, it must be sea salt and not iodized type. And for your information, the purpose of the sea salt is to act as a laxative.

Like I mentioned before, to boost the effectiveness of the master cleanse diet, other ingredients can be added. If you don't really like the taste of sea salt, another alternative is the laxative tea. Both works just as well. Recommended laxative tea to consume are "Laxative Tea" and "Smooth Move tea". Another form of laxative is psyllium husk and it is rich in fiber which can be effective in curbing your hunger pangs. Another important ingredient used in master cleanse is the use of wheat grass. Wheat grass is often nicknamed super food as it acts as a strong anti-oxidant and rich in vitamins and minerals. Most importantly, it is included in the master cleanse because it contains protein.

Main usage of the herbal tea is to break the boredom of drinking the lemonade cocktail. There is very few things you can add to the master cleanse diet and hence herbal tea is used. For the case of hoodia, it is used to curb your hunger pangs. This is to prevent yourself from straying away from the master cleanse regime. Therefore it is good to take the hoodia together with the master cleanse for the successful completion of the cleansing program. - 16004
