Takesumi Supreme
Takesumi or carbonized bamboo is well known in Japan but is just now becoming well known in the US. It’s a binder that I find help with detoxifying some mycotoxins, heavy metals, chemicals, and endotoxins. I also find it can abort food reactions if taken quickly after the food is eaten/reaction starts. It is also reported to adsorb radiation (radon, nuclear, etc.).
Once bound to the toxins, the binding effect of Takesumi Supreme will help to carry the toxins out in the stool, preventing reabsorption from the GI tract into the bloodstream.
For those who want to start with just one binder, this is a good place to start if you’re not already constipated.
If you’re already struggling with constipation, you may want to start with something else, since this can worsen that problem. You may also be able to off-set the constipating effect with magnesium citrate or oxide.
The great thing about this binder is that it comes in a powdered form, so if you’re nervous about trying a binder, you can start with just a sprinkle.
This one is best taken 2 hours away from food, other supplements and medications. Between breakfast and lunch, lunch and dinner, or in the middle of the night often work best for my patients.
