The Three Types of Liquid Cleanses — And How to Choose the Right One for Your Body

Functionally Crafted Liquid Cleansing, Explained by Organic Pharmer CEO Michael Petronaci

 

Not all cleanses are the same. Some rely on juices, others on supplements, and many make promises that don’t align with how the body actually works. At Organic Pharmer, our approach is entirely different: functionally crafted, liquid-only, whole-food cleansing designed by wellness experts using organic ingredients, botanical infusions, plant proteins, and anti-inflammatory principles.

Whether you’re new to cleansing or looking for a targeted reset, understanding the differences between cleanse types helps you choose the one that’s right for your goals, your physiology, and your lifestyle.

This guide provides a clear comparison of the three Organic Pharmer liquid cleanses—Anti-Inflammatory, Detox, and Power Protein—so you can confidently select the best option for your body.

 

Why Choose a Liquid Cleanse Instead of a Juice Fast?

 

Before comparing the cleanses, it’s important to highlight why Organic Pharmer does not follow juice-cleanse or supplement-based detox trends.

A functionally designed liquid cleanse:

• Provides steady macronutrients (especially protein)

• Supports metabolic stability

• Reduces digestive load without deprivation

• Supplies phytonutrients, fiber, and antioxidants through whole-food ingredients

• Incorporates botanicals traditionally used to support natural detox processes

• Avoids the blood sugar spikes associated with juice-only cleanses

 

Research consistently shows that protein, fiber, and phytonutrient diversity are essential for metabolic and immune function.

Examples include:

 

• Harvard Health on inflammation-modulating foods:

• Stanford Medicine on fermented and plant-diverse diets supporting gut microbiota and reduced inflammatory proteins:

• Mayo Clinic on balanced nutrition during “detox” efforts:

Organic Pharmer cleanses embrace these principles, offering balanced, botanical, plant-protein–anchored liquid nutrition—never empty calories or extreme restriction.

• A gentle, balanced introduction

• Gut support

• Inflammation-focused ingredients

• Steady energy

• A daily structure that feels restorative and nourishing

 

 

Choose the Detox Cleanse if you want:

• A deeper, more botanical-forward reset

• Enhanced greens + herbal infusions

• A program that feels like a functional wellness “intervention”

• Short-term digestive load reduction
  

 

Choose the Power Protein Cleanse if you want:

• Stable blood sugar

• Extensive plant protein

• Suitable cleansing for trained athletes

• A “reset” without metabolic dips or intense hunger

• Higher caloric stability without compromising benefits

 

Why All Three Cleanses Work Without Extreme Detox Claims

 

Each cleanse is grounded in well-established nutrition science:

 

Liquid nutrition supports digestive ease

University of Illinois and other institutions note that reducing digestive workload temporarily may support improved gastrointestinal comfort and regularity.

 

Botanical compounds have historically supported detoxification pathways

Examples include:

• Burdock, nettle, fennel

• Schisandra and goji

• Elderberry and elderflower

• Turmeric, ginger, calendula

 

While these cannot be claimed as “detoxifiers,” research supports their antioxidant and inflammation-modulating properties.

 

Protein stabilizes metabolism during cleansing

 

Studies show adequate protein intake can support:

• Satiety

• Energy balance

• Muscle preservation

• Better adherence to structured nutritional programs

 

Fiber improves gut dynamics

As highlighted in fiber and gut microbiota research (NIH, PMC), plant fibers support:

• Bowel regularity

• Microbiome health

• Immune signaling

Organic Pharmer cleanses incorporate these principles in a functional, whole-food, liquid format—without extreme claims or restrictive practices.

 

Which Cleanse Should You Start With?

 

If unsure, here is the simplest rule:

• New to cleansing? Start with Anti-Inflammatory.

• Want a deeper reset? Choose Detox.

• Need protein stability? Choose Power Protein.

• Want the fullest transformation? Choose the 10-Day Full Body Cleanse (Detox + Anti-Inflammatory).
