While the program is designed to be safe for most people, please consult your healthcare provider if you are on prescription medications.

 Core Restore® is a short-term program, typically lasting 7 days, depending on your goals and individual needs. You can complete additional weeks if desired. 

Yes! The program includes a detailed meal plan with recommended foods to support detoxification, along with recipes to make the process simple and delicious.

While the program is safe for most adults, it is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, nursing, or have certain medical conditions such as active liver or gallbladder disease. Consult your healthcare provider before starting.

Many participants report improved digestion, increased energy, better focus, weight release, and a feeling of overall wellness by the end of the program.

Absolutely! The program includes a handbook and meal plan that allow for flexibility based on your dietary preferences and lifestyle.

Most people think of detox as drinking green juice for a week. The liver’s actual detoxification process is far more sophisticated — and most generic detox programs only address part of it.

Phase 1 — Transformation: Liver enzymes convert fat-soluble toxins into intermediate compounds. This process requires specific B vitamins, antioxidants, and flavonoids. Without adequate cofactors, Phase 1 produces highly reactive intermediates that are actually more harmful than the original toxins — a phenomenon called “toxic intermediates” that explains why some people feel worse on poorly designed detox programs.

Phase 2 — Conjugation: The liver attaches molecules to Phase 1 intermediates to make them water-soluble for elimination. This requires amino acids (glycine, taurine, glutamine), sulfur compounds, and methylation cofactors including B12, folate, and magnesium. This is where most detox programs fall short — they don’t provide the raw materials Phase 2 actually needs.

Phase 3 — Elimination: The transformed, water-soluble compounds are transported through bile into the gut for elimination via stool, or through the kidneys via urine. Adequate fiber, hydration, and gut motility are essential for Phase 3 — without them, toxins can be reabsorbed rather than eliminated.

Core Restore® is specifically formulated to support all three phases simultaneously — which is why it produces results that single-ingredient detox supplements don’t.

This is one of the most clinically relevant applications of Core Restore® from a functional medicine perspective — and the one most people don’t expect from a detox program.

Estrogen is metabolized and cleared through Phase 1 and Phase 2 liver detoxification pathways. When these pathways are sluggish — due to nutrient deficiencies, toxic burden, poor gut health, or chronic stress — estrogen is incompletely metabolized and can recirculate through the body contributing to estrogen dominance symptoms. Core Restore® specifically addresses this through:

• DIM (Diindolylmethane) — supports the favorable 2-OH estrogen metabolism pathway over the more inflammatory 4-OH and 16-OH pathways
• Sulforaphane precursors — enhance Phase 1 liver enzyme activity for more efficient initial estrogen processing
• Calcium D-Glucarate equivalent support — inhibits beta-glucuronidase activity in the gut that would otherwise allow cleared estrogen to be reabsorbed

For women experiencing PMS, bloating, breast tenderness, mood changes, or weight gain around the hips and thighs — estrogen clearance support through a structured program like Core Restore® can be a meaningful first step. As a pharmacist I particularly value this program for patients on medications that increase estrogen burden — including certain antidepressants, blood pressure medications, and hormonal contraceptives.

Core Restore® uses three synergistic formulas that work together rather than as isolated supplements:

Core Support (shake mix): A hypoallergenic, nutrient-dense protein shake providing easily digestible fuel during the detox process. Contains Phase 2 amino acid cofactors, antioxidants, and alkalinizing minerals that support liver function while maintaining energy. Available in vanilla and chocolate.

MitoCORE®: Supports mitochondrial energy production during the detox process — critical because liver detoxification is energetically demanding. Contains CoQ10, alpha-lipoic acid, N-acetyl cysteine, and acetyl-L-carnitine. This is what prevents the fatigue that poorly designed detox programs cause.

PhytoCore: A comprehensive blend of Phase 1 and Phase 2 liver support nutrients including milk thistle, artichoke, turmeric, DIM, and sulforaphane precursors. Addresses the botanical and phytonutrient components of liver support that protein and mitochondrial formulas alone don’t cover.

Together these three formulas address every step of the detoxification cascade — which is why Core Restore® is used in functional medicine clinical practice rather than being a consumer wellness product.
