One of the easiest ways to reduce inflammation is to eat more greens. When enjoyed in soup form, they are easily digestible, allowing for maximum absorption. With the seasons changing, it's the perfect time to add this cleansing soup to your routine.
At Rejuv, we believe in using food as medicine, supported by our whole-food, plant-based supplements, to fuel and help your body at a functional level.
Why Detox with Soup?
Living in the 21st century, we are constantly exposed to toxins and chemicals. Soups make an ideal detox option as they:
- Support liver and gallbladder function
- Reduce inflammation
- Boost gut health
- Encourage fat loss and metabolism balance
- Strengthen the immune system
For added support, try our Liver Support Capsules, Super Greens, or complete Detox Pack, which includes recipes and a wellness plan.

Cilantro: The Detox Hero
Cilantro is a key ingredient in this recipe. When combined with chlorella and spirulina, as in our Heavy Metal Detox Capsules, it creates the most powerful chelation to remove toxins. Together, these superfoods support the body's natural detox pathways.
Research suggests cilantro may help rid the body of heavy metals, protect against oxidative stress, calm the nervous system, balance blood sugar, and support digestion. Read more research here.

- Chronic fatigue, insomnia, or poor recovery

- Digestive issues (e.g. IBS)
