Let's talk about binders, not to be confused with Open Pathways. Our open pathways was made to ensure the pathways of elimination are open. Binders specifically work in the gut, to bind to toxins. A common binder is charcoal, we are not a fan of charcoal because it absorbs nutrients and can be harmful to gut health. Chlorella is rich in chlorophyll, which supports detox pathways and helps neutralize toxins. It also supports liver function which is key to moving toxins into the gut for binding. It contains peptides and polysaccharides that can bind to mercury, lead cadmium and arsenic. It specifically aids in reducing die off symptoms from a parasite cleanse (Herxheimer reactions). Chlorella is generally safe for children, make sure to check for children dosing on the bottle.
