The intestine is one of the most highly regenerative organ in the human body, regenerating its lining, called the epithelium, every five to seven days. Continual cell renewal allows the epithelium to withstand the constant wear and tear it suffers while breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste.
Trapped waste can potentially hinder this crucial cellular turnover, and may lead to uncomfortable and even damaging effects. Such waste can become toxic if not efficiently excreted and leach unwanted substances into the body. If the intestinal system cannot sufficiently or properly regenerate, damage to the lining may take place over time, thus allowing the stagnant toxins to improperly leach into other areas of the body.
Regulating digestion is thus one of the most vital components of our overall health, from the immune system to our mood to our cellular structures.
The intention behind the development of Detox was to support regular digestion and assist gastrointestinal health and rejuvenation. For example, peppermint oil has been known to sooth the muscles and lining of the gastrointestinal tract, thus helping relieve trapped gas and waste, while the chlorophyllin may neutralize trapped toxins along the way. Lemon oil is known for powerful detoxifying effects, and its constituents have a highly alkalizing effect on the body once they are broken down.
Suggested use of Detox is described in the section below the Deep-Dive. Please refer to the suggested use, as it is best to customize your servings based on your specific needs and biochemistry.
Marie utilizes detox to protect against the chemicals that run rampant in the environment and food supply. While Marie follows a healthy lifestyle and focuses on a nutritious diet for herself and her family, the fact remains that soils are depleted and unhealthy. Thus, the fruits and vegetables grown in such soil are not as nutritious or clean as many years ago. She chooses organic whenever possible, as organic produce contains more nutrients than non-organic. Though, she is aware that they are not necessarily free of pesticides and heavy metals. She is also aware of the many man-made chemicals we are inevitably exposed to daily.
Marie consumes chlorophyll concentrate in water every day, ranging from 1 -3mL. Usually, she puts 2mL in a 24 ounce water bottle to drink while working.
While Marie specifically utilizes the product for the cleansing and cellular benefits, she also noticed a significant reduction in bloating. She has taken chlorophyll almost every day for a year, and she notes that she never feels bloated. She reports that her pants fit the same (comfortably) every day and she feels “lighter” and energized on a regular basis.
Kōkua’s extraction scientist is thrilled to offer this as her first development in expanding beyond hemp and cannabis in her product formulations. She had a specific intention to create a great-tasting, phytonutrient-packed recipe targeting gut health and cellular restoration and protection. She developed this proprietary blend of botanicals via significant research in herbalism and medical journal publications, in addition to extensive experimentation.
Marie creates items that she confidently consumes for her health on a regular basis. Her family and friends use Detox regularly for everything from relieving bloat to reducing their toxic load to relieving constipation. Marie has been taking this product regularly for over a year, and it is a staple component of supporting her digestive and cellular health.
Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color. Plants use chlorophyll along with sunlight to get their nutrients. Chlorophyll is chemically similar to hemoglobin, a protein that is essential in red blood cells as it carries oxygen around the body. One of the primary ways to include chlorophyll in the diet is by eating dark green leafy vegetables.
Chlorophyllin is a water-soluble form of chlorophyll. Chlorophyllin is derived from chlorophyll but bound to copper instead of magnesium. The water-soluble attributes of chlorophyllin may enhance absorption and utilization internally. Chlorophyll water is a convenient and effective way to boost your daily intake of this plant-powered green phytoactive.
Deep-Dive into Detox
Chlorophyll
Chlorophyll may amplify the oxygen supply in the body on a cellular level, optimize energy production, boost overall metabolism, clear impurities and cellular waste, and support a strong lymphatic system.
Peppermint
Peppermint has antimicrobial properties and is used for anti-nausea benefits and soothing effects on muscles, the colon and the gastric lining. Peppermint is rich in antioxidants.
Botanicals
A proprietary blend of phytonutrients supports detoxification, debloat, and digestion. The functional botanical blend includes lemon, lemon balm, sweet fennel, and lemongrass.
Active Ingredients
White Mulberry Leaf
Chlorophyll derived from White Mulberry Leaf is in the water-soluble form, sodium copper chlorophyllin. Chlorophyll ingestion may amplify the oxygen supply in the body on a cellular level, optimize energy production, boost overall metabolism, clear impurities and cellular waste, and support a strong lymphatic system. It may also aid gut flora, stimulate organs, and aid mental clarity. Consumption of antioxidants encourages the body’s scavenge of free radicals responsible for causing oxidative stress, cell damage, and aging.
Chlorophyll is a potent antioxidant that may bind to toxins in the GI tract, including pesticides, herbicides, mycotoxins, etc., and potentially inhibit their absorption, thus assisting their removal.
Peppermint Essential Oil*
Records of the medicinal use of mint plants go all the way back to the times of Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Peppermint essential oil has antimicrobial properties and is used for anti-nausea benefits and soothing effects on muscles, the colon and the gastric lining. Peppermint may help reduce abdominal pain from GI tract issues. Rich in antioxidants, peppermint can help protect the body from damage to cells caused by free radicals.
*Organic
Sweet Fennel Essential Oil*
Sweet Fennel demonstrates the ability to reduce intestinal spasms and increase motility of the small intestine. Fennel oil aids digestion by stimulating the secretion of digestive juices. It can also help balance the pH level within the stomach, thereby reducing acid reflux after meals.
*Organic
Lemon Essential Oil*
Studies have shown that lemon raises norepinephrine, the neurotransmitter responsible for clarity, focus and motivation. Lemon oil aids the processes of flushing the toxins from the body and restoring the liver. It is shown to be beneficial for digestive health, weight management, mental health, balancing body pH, anti-aging properties, liver detoxification, urinary tract cleanse and more.
*Organic
Lemon Balm Essential Oil*
Lemon balm, also referred to as Melissa, is known to ease stress and anxiety. This member of the mint family contains a compound called rosmarinic acid that appears to have antimicrobial properties. Lemon balm may relieve stagnant digestion, ease abdominal cramping, and promote the overall digestive process. Research suggests that ingesting lemon balm could have beneficial metabolic effects, slowing fatty acid synthesis (a process that creates fatty buildups in the body).
*Organic
Lemongrass Essential Oil*
Lemongrass has been known as a treatment for stomach distress, gastritis, and gastric ulcers. Lemongrass has antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Chlorophyllin is a water-soluble form of chlorophyll that may detoxify the harmful chemicals that run rampant in the environment and food supply. It demonstrates the ability to neutralize toxic compounds in addition to protecting cellular DNA. Chlorophyllin hinders carcinogen-induced DNA adducts via formation of complexes with the toxins, thus limiting the ability of such chemicals to bind and mutate normal cells. [1-10 in reference section “Properties of Chlorophyllin.”]
Detox is a potent source of antioxidants, which scavenge free radicals in the body. Free radicals are unstable atoms that can damage cells, causing illness and aging. Antioxidants interact with and neutralize free radicals, thus preventing them from causing damage.
