A two-ingredient detox formula with documented mechanisms. One ingredient traps heavy metals and mycotoxins. One replenishes the minerals that detox can deplete. Used in a 2-week protocol.
Before You Buy Another "Detox" Product
Most products that promise detoxification are some combination of mild herbal bitters, gentle diuretics, and marketing language that does not name a specific toxin, a specific mechanism, or a specific outcome. Super Cleanse is a different kind of product, and you can tell by looking at the ingredient list. There are two ingredients. Both have documented mechanisms. Both have been studied in real research literature. Neither needs marketing language to explain what it does.
The first ingredient is pure micronized clinoptilolite, a natural volcanic zeolite with a honeycomb crystalline structure. Every interior surface of every microscopic cage carries a negative electrical charge. Heavy metals like lead, mercury, cadmium, aluminum, and arsenic carry positive charges. When the cage meets a metal in the gut, opposite charges snap together and the metal is trapped inside. The cage is not absorbed by the body. It passes through the digestive tract and exits, carrying the trapped metal with it. This is not herbalism. It is mineralogy.
The mechanism has been documented in veterinary research, human research, and industrial applications where zeolite is used to clean up contaminated soil and water. It is the same mechanism that makes zeolite useful in cat litter (binding ammonia) and in nuclear cleanup (binding radioactive cesium). In Super Cleanse, the zeolite is micronized, meaning the particle size is reduced to maximize surface area, which maximizes how many toxin molecules each particle can trap.
The second ingredient is Thorvin Kelp, here for a specific reason: detoxification depletes minerals. Anything that binds and removes positively charged compounds from the gut can also pull beneficial minerals if the body's reserves are not replenished. Thorvin delivers the iodine, selenium, and trace minerals that maintain thyroid function and prevent the depletion that often accompanies aggressive detox protocols. It is the reason most dogs feel better, not worse, during a Super Cleanse protocol.
That is the entire formula. Two ingredients. One removes. One replenishes. Used together in a two-week protocol with built-in rest days. This is what a real detox formula looks like.
Three Things Most Detox Products Miss
A Documented Mechanism
Ion exchange binding has been characterized at the molecular level. The honeycomb cage structure is verifiable mineralogy, not herbalism. You do not have to take anyone's word for whether it works.
Selective Binding, Not Broad
Clinoptilolite binds positively charged compounds (heavy metals, ammonia, mycotoxins) while leaving nutrients largely alone. Activated charcoal binds almost indiscriminately. Selectivity is what makes ongoing protocols possible.
Replenishment Built In
Most detox products only remove. Super Cleanse pairs the binding mineral with a continuous mineral source (Thorvin Kelp) so detoxification does not leave your dog depleted afterward.
What Super Cleanse Helps With
Glyphosate & Pesticide Exposure
Cumulative lawn chemicals, herbicide residue, and pesticide load from food and environment
Heavy Metal Accumulation
Mercury, lead, cadmium, and aluminum bound and escorted out by clinoptilolite at the cellular level
Post-Antibiotic Reset
Helping the body clear residual medication load after multiple antibiotic courses
Post-Vaccine Detox Support
Easing the cumulative toxic load that can build up across years of routine vaccination
Mold & Mycotoxin Exposure
Damp housing, contaminated kibble lots, and the toxic byproducts mold produces inside the body
Pre-Surgery Body Prep
Reducing the systemic toxin load before procedure stress so the body has fewer fires to fight
The Full Formula
Super Cleanse has only two active ingredients. There are no fillers, no flow agents, no binders, no carriers. The simplicity is intentional. Here is what each one does and why two is enough.
Layer 1 · Removal
A natural mineral with a microscopic cage structure that traps heavy metals, mycotoxins, and ammonia through ion exchange.
Active Ingredient One
Natural zeolite, sourced in Idaho
Clinoptilolite is a naturally occurring mineral formed by volcanic activity. When volcanic ash settles into ancient saltwater lakes, the combination of heat, pressure, and time over millions of years transforms the ash into a crystal with a unique three-dimensional honeycomb structure. The structure is what makes clinoptilolite useful. Every interior surface of every cage carries a slight negative electrical charge.
Think of clinoptilolite as a microscopic cage with a magnet on the inside. Heavy metals, ammonia, mycotoxins (toxins produced by molds, common in stored grain-based pet foods), and other positively charged compounds get pulled into the cage as the zeolite passes through the digestive tract. The trapping is selective: beneficial nutrients are mostly negatively charged or neutral, so they do not get pulled in. This selectivity is what distinguishes clinoptilolite from activated charcoal, which binds almost indiscriminately and can pull out medications and nutrients along with toxins.
The clinoptilolite in Super Cleanse is micronized, meaning the particle size is reduced to ultra-fine to maximize surface area. More surface area means more cages exposed to the gut contents, which means more toxin binding per dose. It is also sourced in Idaho, which means a documented North American supply chain rather than the cheaper imported zeolite that can carry its own contamination concerns. The Idaho mineral is tested for purity before it goes into the formula.
The zeolite itself is not absorbed. It passes through the digestive system entirely, taking trapped toxins with it and exiting in the stool. The body never has to "process" zeolite the way it processes a vitamin or herbal compound. For dogs eating commercial kibble, the mycotoxin-binding action is particularly relevant: aflatoxin, ochratoxin, and zearalenone are pervasive contaminants in stored grains and protein meals, and clinoptilolite binds many of them before they cross the gut wall.
The same mineral, in vastly different applications: clinoptilolite is used in cat litter to bind ammonia, in agriculture to remediate contaminated soil, and in nuclear cleanup operations to bind radioactive cesium. The mechanism is identical in all of these cases. In Super Cleanse, that same mechanism is doing quiet daily work in your dog's gut.
Layer 2 · Replenishment
A bioavailable mineral source that prevents the depletion that comes with aggressive binding protocols.
Active Ingredient Two
Trademarked Icelandic kelp, radiation-tested
Thorvin is the trademarked organic kelp harvested from the cold, clean waters off Iceland. It earns its place in this formula for a specific reason. Detoxification, by definition, removes things from the body. If you only remove and never replenish, you create a different problem.
Think of Thorvin Kelp as the mineral replenishment that prevents the depletion that comes with aggressive detoxification. Anything that binds positively charged compounds in the gut can theoretically pull some beneficial minerals along with the toxins. Without an adequate mineral reservoir, this can leave the body depleted in calcium, magnesium, iron, and trace minerals. Thorvin provides a bioavailable ocean-source mineral panel that more than offsets any incidental binding.
The kelp contributes in ways the zeolite cannot. The iodine content supports thyroid hormone production, which directly supports the body's metabolic rate during detox (the body needs energy to process and eliminate mobilized toxins). The trace minerals support enzymatic function in the liver, which is doing extra work to handle whatever toxins do not get captured in the gut. The natural antioxidants in kelp protect cells from the oxidative stress that comes with mobilizing stored toxins.
Two distinctions most kelp suppliers skip: Thorvin is radiation-tested on every batch, which is rare in the global kelp supply chain and exactly what you want from a supplement you are using for detoxification. It is also the only commercially available kelp with a guaranteed selenium content claim, which matters because selenium is a critical cofactor for the glutathione peroxidase enzyme that protects cells during detox.
What This Looks Like Across Two Weeks
Imagine your dog's body carrying the accumulated load of modern life. Trace heavy metals from drinking water that runs through old plumbing. Mycotoxins from kibble that sat in warehouses for months. Aluminum residues from vaccinations. Glyphosate metabolites from grass exposure. NSAID or antibiotic residues processed slowly through an aging liver. None of these are dramatic. None show up on routine blood work. They are simply the background hum of chemical exposure in a chemically saturated world.
Heavy metals circulating in the gut
Clinoptilolite traps positively charged metal ions (lead, mercury, cadmium, aluminum, arsenic) in its honeycomb cages through ion exchange. The metals exit the body in the stool, never returning to circulation.
Mycotoxins from stored kibble entering the digestive tract
Clinoptilolite binds many of the major mycotoxins (aflatoxin, ochratoxin, zearalenone) before they cross the gut wall. The liver no longer has to process what never enters circulation.
Ammonia and other nitrogen-based waste compounds
Clinoptilolite traps ammonia, which is why zeolite is used in cat litter for the same odor-binding property. Lower ammonia load means less work for the kidneys.
Mineral status during the binding process
Thorvin Kelp delivers a continuous stream of bioavailable iodine, selenium, calcium, magnesium, and trace minerals to maintain levels even as the zeolite is removing other compounds.
Thyroid function supporting metabolic detox
The iodine in Thorvin Kelp directly supports thyroid hormone production. The thyroid sets the metabolic rate, which determines how efficiently the body processes and clears anything the zeolite did not catch in the gut.
Oxidative stress from toxin mobilization
Kelp's natural antioxidants and selenium cofactor support the glutathione system, the body's primary cellular antioxidant network, which is doing extra work during any active detox process.
The built-in rest days are doing real work
The 6-on, 1-off pattern gives elimination pathways a regular pause. The 2-week total protocol provides a defined endpoint rather than an open-ended forever supplement. This prevents the depletion that can come with continuous aggressive detoxification.
Important Cautions Before Use
Space at least 2 hours away from any medication or supplement. Because clinoptilolite is an active binder, it can reduce absorption of medications, antibiotics, and other supplements taken at the same time. This is the single most important practical consideration with this product.
Mild temporary effects in the first few days are normal as toxins are being mobilized and cleared. These can include mild lethargy, increased thirst, or temporary GI changes. Reduce the dose or shorten the protocol if symptoms are pronounced.
Ensure continuous access to fresh water throughout the protocol. The body uses water to flush out trapped toxins, and adequate hydration supports the elimination pathways doing their job.
Not recommended for puppies under 12 weeks. Safe use in pregnant or breeding animals has not been established.
Is This Right For Your Dog
Eats a commercial kibble diet and you are concerned about mycotoxin exposure from grain and protein meal storage.
Has just completed a round of vaccinations and you want to support the body in clearing residual adjuvants, aluminum, and preservatives.
Drinks tap water with documented heavy metal concerns (lead from old plumbing, fluoride, aluminum sulfate from water treatment).
Has recently finished a course of antibiotics, NSAIDs, or other pharmaceutical medications and you want to support cellular cleanup during recovery.
Lives in a city or suburban environment with known air pollution, herbicide exposure, or industrial proximity.
Has chronic skin issues, recurring itchiness, or generalized inflammation that has not responded to typical interventions and you suspect underlying toxic burden.
Is a senior dog who has accumulated decades of environmental exposure and would benefit from a periodic targeted detox.
Has shown sensitivities to vaccines in the past (lethargy, GI upset, behavior changes) and your holistic vet has suggested pre and post-vaccination support.
Has elevated liver enzymes on bloodwork without a clear pharmaceutical cause and your holistic vet has suggested addressing toxic burden.
Eats a raw or fresh diet and you want a periodic gut reset that is gentle enough for a clean-fed dog and effective enough to provide real benefit.
How To Give It
Super Cleanse runs across fourteen days with two built-in rest days. Six days on, one day off, six days on, one day off. The rest days give elimination pathways a regular pause. The two-week total protocol provides a defined endpoint rather than an open-ended commitment. Most pet parents run this quarterly or following specific exposure events (vaccinations, antibiotic courses, environmental incidents).
The 2-Week Protocol
Weight-Based Dosing
3oz pouch: approximately 40 servings at the 1/2 teaspoon dose. Enough for one full 2-week protocol on a small dog with some remaining, or one protocol on a medium dog.
The Single Most Important Practical Detail
Give Super Cleanse at least 2 hours apart from any medication, antibiotic, or other supplement. Because clinoptilolite is an active binder, it can reduce the absorption of medications taken at the same time. The 2-hour gap ensures both work as intended. This is more critical than any other consideration with this product, and easy to manage once you build it into your routine.
How to mix it: always mix with food. Do not feed dry. Moisten with water or warm broth so the powder integrates evenly into the meal and your dog consumes the full dose rather than leaving it at the bottom of the bowl.
Hydration matters: make sure your dog has continuous access to fresh water throughout the protocol. The body uses water to flush out trapped toxins.
Possible detox reactions: some dogs experience mild temporary effects in the first few days as toxins are being mobilized. Mild lethargy, increased thirst, or temporary GI changes usually resolve within a few days. If symptoms are pronounced, reduce the dose or shorten the protocol.
Inactive ingredients: there are none. The complete ingredient list reads pure micronized clinoptilolite and Thorvin kelp. That is the entire formula. No fillers, no binders, no flow agents, no carriers, no synthetic anything.
Works Well With
Super Cleanse is the gut-binding layer. The most effective approach pairs it with formulas that support the liver during detox, rebuild the gut microbiome, supply antioxidant protection, and maintain ongoing daily wellness between Super Cleanse protocols.
Same brand, complementary timing. Super Cleanse is the intensive 2-week protocol. Daily Defense is the gentle daily maintenance formula you use the other fifty weeks of the year, and especially during the rest weeks between Super Cleanse cycles. Daily Defense also uses Thorvin Kelp, which means seamless continuity of thyroid and mineral support between protocols.
Clinoptilolite binds toxins in the gut before they enter the bloodstream. But the liver is still doing two-stage detoxification of toxins that have already entered circulation, plus internal metabolic byproducts. ThorneVet Liver Support provides milk thistle, dandelion, and the B-vitamin cofactors that the liver needs during active detox. Run it concurrently with Super Cleanse for full-pathway support.
A beautiful thematic pairing: Super Cleanse uses sea (kelp) and soil (zeolite is a mineral from the earth). Soil & Sea rebuilds the gut microbiome with soil-based and sea-source probiotic strains plus humic and fulvic acids. After two weeks of binding and removing, the gut benefits from active repopulation with beneficial microbes.
Wholistic Pet Organics Ester C
Vitamin C is a critical cofactor for the liver's second-stage detoxification, and the body's vitamin C stores deplete during any active detox process. Ester C is a buffered, gentler-on-the-stomach form that delivers continuous antioxidant support throughout the 2-week protocol. Add it to support the liver and immune system during the cleanse.
A complementary chlorophyll-based detox layer through a different mechanism than zeolite. Green Rover provides organic greens (alfalfa, dandelion, parsley, spirulina, kelp) that support liver detox, alkalize the system, and bind certain organic toxins that zeolite does not address. Use it alongside Super Cleanse for a multi-mechanism cleanse, or as ongoing daily detox support between Super Cleanse cycles.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Super Cleanse actually do for dogs?
Super Cleanse is a two-ingredient detox formula that removes heavy metals, mycotoxins, ammonia, and other positively charged toxins from the digestive tract while simultaneously replenishing the minerals that aggressive detoxification can deplete. The clinoptilolite (a natural zeolite mineral) traps toxins through ion exchange in its honeycomb cage structure and carries them out of the body. The Thorvin Kelp delivers iodine, selenium, and trace minerals that maintain thyroid function and prevent mineral depletion during the protocol. It is used in a 2-week pulsed cycle rather than as a daily long-term supplement.
Does my dog need to detox from heavy metals?
Most modern dogs carry some accumulated heavy metal burden from food, water, and environmental exposure, though the amounts vary widely. Dogs eating commercial kibble are exposed to mycotoxins from grain storage. Dogs drinking tap water in older neighborhoods may be exposed to lead from plumbing. Dogs receiving vaccinations are exposed to aluminum adjuvants. Dogs living near agricultural areas may be exposed to herbicide and pesticide residues. Whether your specific dog needs active heavy metal detoxification depends on their exposure profile and symptoms, and a holistic veterinarian can help assess this.
Is clinoptilolite zeolite safe for dogs?
Pure micronized food-grade clinoptilolite has been extensively studied and is generally considered safe for dogs when used in appropriate doses and protocols. Unlike many supplements, clinoptilolite is not absorbed by the body. It passes through the digestive tract entirely, taking trapped toxins with it. The safety profile is well-established. The most important consideration is spacing it away from medications and other supplements (at least 2 hours), since the same binding action that captures toxins could theoretically reduce absorption of essential medications if taken at the same time.
What do holistic vets recommend for vaccination recovery in dogs?
Holistic veterinarians often recommend a structured detox protocol around vaccinations to support the body in clearing aluminum adjuvants, preservatives, and other vaccine components. A typical recommendation includes a short detox window starting a few days after vaccination (not during the active immune response), focused on supporting both the gut elimination pathways and the liver second-stage detox pathways. Super Cleanse is commonly used as the targeted gut-binding component of this protocol, paired with liver support and antioxidants. Talk to your holistic vet about timing and appropriateness for your specific dog.
Can I give Super Cleanse with my dog's medications?
You can use Super Cleanse during a medication course, but timing matters significantly. Because clinoptilolite is an active binder, it can potentially reduce the absorption of medications taken at the same time. Always give Super Cleanse at least 2 hours apart from any medication, antibiotic, or other supplement. If your dog is on essential medications that must maintain consistent blood levels (heart medications, seizure medications, thyroid replacement), consult your veterinarian before starting, since even properly spaced binding could theoretically affect therapeutic levels.
How is clinoptilolite different from activated charcoal?
Both bind toxins in the digestive tract, but they work very differently. Activated charcoal binds almost anything through nonselective adsorption, which means it can pull out nutrients, medications, and beneficial compounds along with toxins. This makes it useful for acute poisoning but problematic for ongoing use. Clinoptilolite binds selectively based on electrical charge, capturing positively charged compounds like heavy metals, ammonia, and many mycotoxins while leaving neutrally charged or negatively charged nutrients largely alone. This selectivity makes zeolite more appropriate for the kind of structured 2-week detox protocol that Super Cleanse is designed for.
How often should I run a Super Cleanse protocol?
For most healthy dogs, a quarterly 2-week protocol works well, aligning with seasonal changes and providing ongoing toxin management without overdoing it. For dogs with specific exposure events (recent vaccinations, completed antibiotic course, environmental incident, suspected food contamination), an immediate protocol may be appropriate. For dogs with chronic conditions where toxic burden is suspected as a contributor, your holistic veterinarian may recommend a more frequent schedule. The formula is not designed for continuous use: the 2-week protocol with rest days exists for a reason, and Daily Defense from the same brand is the appropriate formula for ongoing daily detox and mineral support between cycles.
The Clean Formula Standard
For the pet parent who is skeptical of vague detox language and wants a product with a documented mechanism. For the pet parent supporting their dog through vaccination recovery, post-antibiotic recovery, or repeated kibble-related concerns. For the pet parent who has done their research on aluminum, mercury, and lead in the modern environment and wants a real tool to address it. Clinoptilolite is not herbalism. It is mineralogy. The mechanism is verifiable. The protocol is defined. The replenishment is built in.
Two ingredients. One documented mechanism for removal. One documented mechanism for replenishment.
Removal is half the work. Replenishment is the other half. Most detox products only do one. This one does both.
