Generally, you should be wary of any product or biohack that claims to help you “detox” your body. Our body’s organs are literally designed to detox our bodies, so if your organs are functioning normally and you’re eating well, no extra detoxing is needed! Supplements to help with cognitive function are okay, but wellness habits like spending time outside, exercising, and getting enough sleep will generally make a bigger difference in your mood and health than supplements!   Hi!
