Tea fact
Despite a multi-million-dollar 'detox tea' industry, regulators have repeatedly pushed back on the term: in 2015 the UK's ASA forced multiple commercial detox-tea brands to stop claiming they 'remove toxins,' and the EU's EFSA has never authorized any 'detox' health claim — meaning the herbs in this blend (dandelion, nettle, burdock) can only legally be sold under their traditional drainage/digestive monographs, not as toxin-removers. Healthy livers and kidneys handle that part themselves.
