detoxifier
Purifying agent substance
A detoxifier is something that removes toxins or harmful substances from a system.
The term applies broadly to substances, devices, or practices claimed to cleanse the body of impurities—from liver-supporting supplements to juice cleanses to activated charcoal products.
In technical contexts, detoxifiers may refer to enzymes or chemical agents that neutralize pollutants or break down harmful compounds.

The wellness industry has popularized the term, though many marketed detoxifiers lack scientific support for their claims.
