The Standard Process Purification Program centers on whole foods, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to support all the major organ systems in the body. In addition, this program contains foods that will help you maintain a consistent healthy weight. The purification program emphasizes supplements and whole foods, particularly fruits and vegetables, while limiting high-calorie, refined foods and saturated fats. Nourishing yourself with nutrient rich foods will provide the complex combination of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that are needed to protect the body and promote optimal health. Purification offers the body additional support to expel natural toxins and minimize your weight, which is important to maintaining health and vitality. The purification process stimulates specific detoxification organs in your body, the liver, kidneys and intestines.

Liver

• Filters toxins
• Aids the body in metabolizing fat, protein and carbohydrates
• Helps transform many toxins into harmless agents

Kidneys

• Filters out waste and excess fluid from the blood
• Regulates and releases the right balance of sodium, phosphorus and potassium from the body to function properly

Small Intestine

• Digests food so that the nutrients can be absorbed into the blood and transported to the liver
• Provides a barrier that blocks toxins from the rest of the body

Large Intestine

• Absorbs water and electrolytes, forming waste that is excreted from the body
• Produces antibodies for gastrointestinal health
• Contains bacterium that create fatty acids and some vitamins for additional nutritional support

The Standard Process Purification is centered on supplements, and what you eat. One of the goals is to taste food as it is supposed to taste. The first step is to purify, or detoxify. This can help remove natural toxins from the body and help maintain a healthy weight.
