What's Inside.

Sea moss (Chondrus crispus and Gracilaria species) is a type of red algae harvested from the Atlantic Ocean. It has been used in Caribbean and Irish traditional medicine for centuries — long before it became a wellness trend — as a nutritive, restorative food especially associated with gut and respiratory health.

What makes sea moss exceptional as a supplement is its mineral density. It contains a broad spectrum of trace minerals and nutrients including iodine, iron, potassium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, and folate. Iodine is particularly significant — it directly supports thyroid function, which governs metabolism, energy, and hormonal balance.

In the gut specifically, sea moss contains carrageenan — a natural soluble fiber that acts as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria, and forms a soothing gel-like coating along the intestinal lining that supports mucosal integrity throughout the cleanse.

• Rich in iodine — supports thyroid function and metabolism
• Provides iron, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and zinc
• Contains carrageenan — a natural prebiotic soluble fiber
• Supports gut mucosal lining integrity during cleansing
• Traditional use for energy, immunity, and skin health
• Anti-inflammatory properties from natural polyphenols

Psyllium husk comes from the seeds of Plantago ovata and is one of the most extensively studied dietary fibers in existence. It's used as the active ingredient in products like Metamucil — but in 7-Day Cleared it's part of a comprehensive stack that amplifies its effectiveness significantly.

Psyllium is a soluble fiber that absorbs water in the colon and expands, forming a soft, gel-like bulk that moves through the intestine and sweeps the colon walls as it travels. Unlike harsh laxatives that force sudden evacuation, psyllium works gradually and gently — encouraging regular, complete elimination without the urgency or discomfort.

The 85% extract concentration means this is a highly purified, highly effective form — not the basic ground husk you'd find in a grocery store product.

• Forms a gel in the colon that gently sweeps waste as it moves
• Promotes regular, complete bowel elimination
• Feeds beneficial gut bacteria as a prebiotic fiber
• Supports healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels
• Reduces transit time — waste moves through faster and more completely
• 85% extract — pharmaceutical grade concentration

Golden flax seeds (Linum usitatissimum) are one of the richest plant sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) — an omega-3 fatty acid with systemic anti-inflammatory effects. In a gut cleanse, this matters because the cleansing process itself can create temporary inflammation in the intestinal lining. Flax helps counteract this.

Beyond omega-3s, flax seeds contain both soluble and insoluble fiber. The soluble fiber (mucilage) creates a slippery, lubricating coating in the colon that makes waste easier to pass — working alongside psyllium husk to create a smooth, complete sweep. The insoluble fiber adds bulk and supports transit time.

• High in ALA omega-3 fatty acids — systemic anti-inflammatory
• Mucilage content lubricates and softens the colon passage
• Both soluble and insoluble fiber for complete bowel support
• Contains lignans — plant compounds with antioxidant properties
• Supports gut wall integrity and reduces inflammatory markers

Wheat bran is the outer layer of the wheat grain and one of the most concentrated sources of insoluble dietary fiber available. Unlike soluble fiber which forms a gel, insoluble fiber doesn't dissolve in water — instead it adds physical bulk to stool and mechanically stimulates the walls of the intestine, encouraging peristalsis (the wave-like muscular contractions that move waste through).

In a cleanse protocol, insoluble fiber is the physical broom. While psyllium provides the sweeping gel layer, wheat bran adds bulk that ensures waste is thoroughly formed and completely moved through the colon — reducing the likelihood of incomplete evacuation.

• One of the most concentrated sources of insoluble dietary fiber
• Adds bulk to stool — supports complete, thorough elimination
• Mechanically stimulates intestinal motility
• Feeds Bifidobacterium — beneficial gut bacteria
• Reduces transit time significantly

Senna (Cassia senna) is a flowering plant whose leaves and pods have been used as a natural laxative for over a thousand years — in Ayurvedic, Chinese, and Arabic traditional medicine. It contains compounds called sennosides that interact with the lining of the large intestine, stimulating the muscular contractions that initiate bowel movement.

In the Saltbloom formula, senna provides the initial catalyst — it kicks the cleanse into motion within the first day or two. The key is that it's balanced by aloe vera (soothing), ginger (comfort), and psyllium (gradual bulk) so the effect is steady and manageable rather than sudden and uncomfortable.

• Sennosides stimulate peristaltic contractions in the large intestine
• Well-studied and FDA-approved as an OTC laxative ingredient
• Traditionally used across Ayurvedic, Chinese, and Arabic medicine
• Effective within 6–12 hours of ingestion
• Balanced by aloe and ginger in the formula for gentle effect

Black walnut (Juglans nigra) hull — the green outer casing of the walnut — has been used in traditional herbal medicine across Native American, European, and Chinese traditions for its potent cleansing and antimicrobial properties. The primary active compound is juglone, a naturally occurring naphthoquinone with demonstrated antimicrobial and antifungal activity.

Black walnut also contains high concentrations of tannins — astringent plant compounds that tighten and tone the intestinal lining, reduce intestinal permeability, and create an environment that is inhospitable to unwanted organisms. This makes it a foundational ingredient in deep intestinal cleanse protocols across multiple traditional medicine systems.

• Juglone content — natural antimicrobial and antifungal compound
• High tannin content tones and tightens the intestinal lining
• Supports a healthy, balanced internal gut environment
• Traditionally used in Native American, European, and Chinese medicine
• Rich in ellagic acid — a powerful natural antioxidant
• Classic pairing with wormwood and clove in traditional cleanse protocols

Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) has one of the longest documented histories of any medicinal herb — references to its use appear in ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Chinese texts. Its active compound, absinthin, is a bitter sesquiterpene lactone that stimulates the production of bile and digestive enzymes, improving the breakdown and absorption of food while supporting a healthy gut environment.

Modern research has shown interest in artemisinin compounds (found in related Artemisia species) for their effects on gut microbiome balance. Wormwood's bitter principles also stimulate the liver and gallbladder, supporting the body's natural detoxification processes during a cleanse protocol.

• Absinthin stimulates bile production — improves fat digestion
• Bitter principles activate digestive enzyme production
• Supports liver and gallbladder function during cleansing
• Creates a gut environment that discourages unwanted organisms
• Anti-inflammatory sesquiterpene lactones reduce gut irritation
• Documented use in traditional medicine across multiple continents

Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) is one of the most antioxidant-rich spices ever measured — its ORAC value (a measure of antioxidant activity) consistently ranks among the highest of any food. The primary active compound, eugenol, has well-documented antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties.

In the context of gut cleansing, clove works alongside black walnut and wormwood to create a comprehensive internal environment reset. Eugenol specifically has been studied for its effects on gut microbiome balance, particularly its ability to support the elimination of Candida and other fungal overgrowth that can contribute to bloating, brain fog, and digestive sluggishness.

• Among the highest ORAC antioxidant values of any natural compound
• Eugenol has documented antimicrobial and antifungal activity
• Supports elimination of Candida and fungal overgrowth
• Natural analgesic — reduces gut pain and cramping
• Carminative — reduces gas and bloating
• Supports healthy liver enzyme activity

Neem (Azadirachta indica) has been called the "village pharmacy" in India for centuries — virtually every part of the tree has medicinal applications, and it is one of the most extensively used plants in Ayurvedic medicine. The leaf powder contains over 130 biologically active compounds including nimbin, nimbidin, and azadirachtin — each with unique therapeutic properties.

For gut health specifically, neem is prized for its ability to support a balanced gut ecology. Its bitter compounds stimulate digestive fire (agni in Ayurveda) — improving digestion and nutrient absorption. Its antimicrobial properties help maintain a healthy ratio of beneficial to pathogenic gut organisms without being as aggressive as pharmaceutical antibiotics.

• Over 130 biologically active compounds in the leaf
• Bitter nimbin compounds stimulate digestion and liver function
• Supports balanced gut microbiome ecology
• Anti-inflammatory nimbidin reduces intestinal inflammation
• Antifungal properties support Candida balance
• Supports healthy skin from the inside — a gut-skin axis benefit
• Extensively documented in Ayurvedic tradition for digestive health

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic sulfur compound found naturally in small amounts in many foods. Sulfur is the third most abundant mineral in the human body — it's a critical building block for proteins, enzymes, and connective tissue. Most people know MSM for its use in joint health supplements, but its benefits for gut health are equally significant and less widely understood.

The intestinal lining is made up of epithelial cells held together by tight junction proteins — and sulfur is essential for the structural integrity of these proteins. During a cleanse, when the gut is being actively cleared and stimulated, MSM helps maintain and support the integrity of the gut wall, reducing the likelihood of increased intestinal permeability ("leaky gut") and supporting comfortable, healthy recovery.

• Sulfur is essential for gut epithelial cell structure and repair
• Supports tight junction protein integrity — reduces intestinal permeability
• Reduces inflammatory cytokines in the gut lining
• Supports glutathione production — the body's primary antioxidant
• Improves absorption of other nutrients in the formula
• Supports joint and connective tissue health as a bonus benefit

Pau d'arco (Tabebuia impetiginosa) is a large tree native to South America whose inner bark has been used medicinally by indigenous peoples of the Amazon basin for centuries. The primary active compounds are lapachol and beta-lapachone — naphthoquinone derivatives with documented antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties.

In traditional South American medicine, pau d'arco is used specifically for gut and immune health — it was historically called "divine tree" by indigenous Incas for its broad medicinal applications. Modern research has focused primarily on its antifungal properties, particularly against Candida albicans, and its ability to support immune function while the body undergoes a cleansing protocol.

• Lapachol and beta-lapachone have documented antifungal activity
• Specifically studied against Candida albicans overgrowth
• Supports immune function during cleansing
• Anti-inflammatory xyloidone compounds reduce gut irritation
• Traditional use by Amazonian indigenous peoples for gut health
• Works synergistically with black walnut and clove in the formula

Most people throw away papaya seeds, but they contain some of the most interesting bioactive compounds in the entire fruit. Papaya seeds contain papain — a proteolytic enzyme that breaks down protein structures — as well as carpaine, an alkaloid with documented antimicrobial properties, and isothiocyanate, a compound studied for its effects on gut microbiome balance.

In traditional medicine across Central America, Southeast Asia, and parts of Africa, papaya seeds have been used specifically for gut health — consumed fresh or dried as a digestive aid after heavy meals or as part of cleansing protocols. The enzymatic activity supports the breakdown and elimination of undigested protein matter that can accumulate in the colon over time.

• Papain enzyme breaks down protein structures in the colon
• Carpaine alkaloid has documented antimicrobial properties
• Isothiocyanate supports balanced gut microbiome ecology
• Fiber content adds bulk and supports bowel regularity
• Traditional use in Central America, Southeast Asia, and Africa
• Supports complete digestion — reduces fermentation and gas

Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) were a staple food of the Aztec and Mayan civilizations — the name "chia" is derived from the ancient Mayan word for "strength." Their nutritional profile is remarkable: they're one of the richest plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids, contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, and have an extraordinary ability to absorb water — up to 12 times their weight.

In the gut, this water-absorbing property is directly useful: chia seeds form a gentle, slippery gel that coats the intestinal lining, softens stool, and helps things move smoothly through the colon. This gel also creates a slow-release hydration effect, keeping the gut moist and comfortable throughout the cleanse.

• Absorbs up to 12x their weight in water — superior hydration
• Forms a gut-coating gel that softens and lubricates passage
• Rich in ALA omega-3 fatty acids — systemic anti-inflammatory
• Both soluble and insoluble fiber for comprehensive support
• Contains all 9 essential amino acids — complete plant protein
• High in antioxidants — quercetin, kaempferol, chlorogenic acid

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) has been used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for over 4,000 years. Its primary active compound, curcumin, has been the subject of over 12,000 peer-reviewed studies — making it one of the most comprehensively researched natural compounds in existence. Curcumin's primary mechanism is the inhibition of NF-kB, a molecular pathway that plays a central role in the inflammatory response.

During a gut cleanse, the intestinal lining can experience temporary irritation and inflammation as waste is moved through and the microbiome is being reset. Turmeric's curcumin content supports a healthy inflammatory response in the gut lining — protecting the epithelial cells, supporting the tight junctions, and reducing the redness and irritation that can occur during an active cleanse.

• Curcumin inhibits NF-kB — a primary inflammatory pathway
• Supports gut epithelial cell integrity during cleansing
• Hepatoprotective — supports liver health during detox
• Supports bile production — aids fat digestion and elimination
• Antioxidant activity neutralizes free radicals generated during cleansing
• Over 12,000 peer-reviewed studies on curcumin's health properties

Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is far more than a culinary herb — its concentrated phenolic compounds, particularly carvacrol and thymol, have demonstrated remarkable antimicrobial activity in laboratory research, showing effectiveness against a broad range of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that can imbalance the gut ecosystem.

Oregano oil (the concentrated extract) has been the subject of significant research interest for gut health, particularly for its effects on small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and Candida. While the powder form in Saltbloom is less concentrated than the oil, it contributes meaningfully to the overall antimicrobial environment the formula creates during the 7-day cleanse.

• Carvacrol disrupts microbial cell membranes — broad antimicrobial activity
• Thymol has documented antifungal properties against Candida
• Rosmarinic acid — a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
• Supports a balanced gut environment during deep cleansing
• Carminative effect — reduces gas and intestinal cramping
• Rich in vitamin K, manganese, and iron

Compliance is everything in a 7-day protocol. The best formula in the world doesn't work if you stop taking it because it tastes terrible. Stevia leaf extract provides natural, calorie-free sweetness without any of the gut disruption associated with artificial sweeteners like sucralose or aspartame. Some research actually suggests stevia has modest prebiotic properties.

The natural pineapple flavor serves a practical purpose beyond taste: tropical, sweet flavors are effective at masking the bitter and earthy notes of the herbal ingredients — particularly wormwood, neem, and black walnut. The result is a formula that smells and tastes like a tropical drink, making twice-daily dosing something you look forward to rather than dread.

• Stevia is a natural, calorie-free sweetener — zero blood sugar impact
• No artificial sweeteners, colors, or preservatives
• Stevia has modest prebiotic properties in some research
• Natural pineapple flavor masks bitter herbal notes completely
• Improves protocol compliance — you finish the 7 days
• No aftertaste at the formula concentration used
