Epsom salts—chemically known as magnesium sulphate—have been used for centuries in natural healing traditions as both an internal and external remedy. Their therapeutic benefits stem from the combined actions of magnesium and sulphate, two compounds essential for hundreds of biochemical processes in the human body.

When used in a targeted gut and bowel cleansing formulation like Flush GBI, Epsom salts provide three critical benefits: detoxification, muscular relaxation, and improved elimination.

The Detoxification Role

Magnesium sulphate assists the liver’s natural detoxification pathways by supporting the phase II conjugation process, where toxins are bound to water-soluble molecules and prepared for safe removal. Sulphates, in particular, are vital for a detox pathway known as sulphation, which helps neutralise drugs, food additives, and environmental chemicals.

This makes Epsom salts especially valuable in Flush GBI, as they work hand-in-hand with bentonite clay, bicarbonate of soda, and milk thistle to ensure toxins are not only mobilised but fully escorted out of the body.

Gut Motility and Elimination

In the intestines, magnesium acts as a gentle osmotic laxative, drawing water into the bowel to soften stools and encourage peristalsis (the natural muscle contractions that move waste through the gut). This ensures that loosened debris, toxins, and metabolic waste are efficiently expelled—minimising reabsorption and promoting a deep cleanse.

Muscle Relaxation and Anti-Stress Effects

Magnesium is often referred to as the “relaxation mineral.” It calms both smooth muscle (found in the gut wall, aiding comfortable elimination) and skeletal muscle, helping reduce cramps, tension, and discomfort during a detox. Magnesium also supports the nervous system, reducing stress responses that can otherwise slow digestion and weaken immunity.

Epsom Salts in the Flush GBI Synergy

In Flush GBI, Epsom salts are carefully balanced with other ingredients to provide effective cleansing without excessive harshness. Their inclusion means that the cleansing process is complete, comfortable, and supportive of whole-body wellness, not just the gut.

By combining detox support, gentle laxative action, and magnesium replenishment, Epsom salts ensure that Flush GBI not only cleanses the gut but also leaves the body more relaxed, mineral-balanced, and primed for renewal.
