The Science Behind Juice Cleanses: What You Need to Know

In the vibrant wellness culture of Marbella and beyond, juice cleanses have become a go-to reset for those seeking to improve their health, increase energy, and rebalance their habits. But what exactly is the science behind juice cleansing—and do the benefits live up to the hype?

At Super Be Juicery, we believe in empowering our community with honest, plant-powered nutrition rooted in evidence. So let’s unpack what’s really happening when you commit to a juice cleanse.

What Is a Juice Cleanse?

A juice cleanse is a short-term dietary regimen where solid foods are temporarily eliminated and replaced with cold-pressed juices made from fruits, vegetables, and superfoods. Cleanses typically last anywhere from 1 to 5 days and are designed to give the digestive system a break while flooding the body with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

How Juice Cleanses Work (Scientifically Speaking)

Digestive Rest
Cold-pressed juices are free from fiber and complex proteins, which means your digestive system uses far less energy to process nutrients. This allows your body to shift energy toward cellular repair and detoxification processes.

Nutrient Absorption
Because juices are liquid, nutrients such as vitamin C, potassium, and polyphenols are absorbed more quickly into the bloodstream. This can lead to a noticeable boost in energy and mental clarity, especially when paired with hydration and rest.

Detoxification Support
Your liver and kidneys are naturally detoxifying all the time—but plant compounds found in ingredients like lemon, ginger, celery, and leafy greens can enhance this process. These nutrients may help reduce oxidative stress and support enzyme pathways involved in detoxification.

Anti-Inflammatory Benefits
Many juice cleanse ingredients—like turmeric, beetroot, and green vegetables—contain anti-inflammatory compounds that can help reduce bloating and support immune health.

What Juice Cleanses Don’t Do

Let’s clear up a common myth: juice cleanses do not “flush toxins” from your body in the way marketing sometimes suggests. Your body is already equipped to detoxify naturally. However, a cleanse can support these natural systems by reducing intake of processed foods, caffeine, alcohol, and environmental irritants—allowing your body to focus on repair.

Are Juice Cleanses Safe?

For most healthy individuals, a short cleanse (1–3 days) is generally safe and can be a great way to reset. However, they are not recommended for people with:

Diabetes or blood sugar disorders

Certain gastrointestinal conditions

Pregnancy or breastfeeding

Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting a cleanse, especially if you have underlying conditions.
