Everyone that asks me about what is in the Master Cleanse mix and I tell them they always make a scrunched up yuck face when they hear Lemon Juice, Maple Syrup and Cayenne Pepper. For those that have not tasted it the mixture tastes like lemonade with a sprinkle of spice on the top.

So for those wondering as I was why these products mixed together?

This brings us to the science portion of what these various products do and why they use them in the Master Cleanse.

Maple Syrup is the basis of your energy on this diet. It is a slow burning organic non-processed carbohydrate that will give you energy you need over the day to keep you moving. You could use a sugar but it would not be as healthy nor as slow burning as Maple Syrup is.

Lemon Juice is a diuretic. This makes you urinate a lot. The key to cleaning out your liver is to drink lots and lots of water. This pushes all the toxins out of your body. The lemon juice allows you to not retain that water and instead expel it.

Cayenne Pepper has been used by many herbologist to cure various ailments. The key to the Cayenne Pepper is 2 folds. One it clears out your nasal passages and removes any mucus in your system. This in turn means more air being breathed which would bring more oxygen to your blood. This would explain why some people feel an energy boost around half way through the cleanse. The other reason for the Cayenne Pepper is that it draws the toxins in your intestines.
