A step-by-step guide to using MediClear-SGS Vanilla as a detox shake in a cleanse, including timing, food pairings, and mistakes to avoid.
Quick answer
Use MediClear-SGS Vanilla as a once- or twice-daily shake in place of a meal, not as an add-on to a full day of eating. Start with one scoop in water or a plant milk, drink it at the meal you are replacing, and keep the rest of your plate simple: vegetables, lean protein, and water. If you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication, ask your clinician before starting a cleanse.
What MediClear-SGS Vanilla actually is
MediClear-SGS is a plant-based protein powder fortified with a multi-vitamin/mineral complex, antioxidants, broccoli seed extract, and liver-supportive botanicals. It is not a laxative tea or a juice fast; it is a nutrient-dense shake designed to replace a meal while keeping protein and micronutrient intake up. That distinction matters because a cleanse that drops protein too low can leave you tired and hungry, which is the opposite of what most people want from a reset.
Set your cleanse length before you buy
Decide whether you are doing a 3-day, 5-day, or 7-day cleanse, and how many meals per day the shake will replace. A common beginner approach is one shake per day for 5 to 7 days, replacing breakfast or dinner. A more intensive approach replaces two meals per day. Write this down before your first shake so you are not improvising at 7 p.m. when you are hungry.
What to eat around the shake
On days when you replace one meal, build the remaining meals from vegetables, lean protein, and a small serving of starch. On two-shake days, make the one solid meal a real meal rather than a snack. Keep alcohol, fried food, and added sugar low during the cleanse; those are the inputs a liver-supportive protocol is trying to reduce, and a shake cannot offset them.
Hydration and timing
Drink water between shakes, not just with them. A shake is food, not a substitute for fluids. If you tend to forget water, fill a 1-liter bottle in the morning and finish it by mid-afternoon. Take the shake at your normal meal time so your routine stays intact, and give yourself 20 to 30 minutes to drink it rather than rushing.
How to stop without undoing the reset
Come off the cleanse by reintroducing one solid meal at a time. If you replaced two meals, go back to one shake for a few days, then to none. Keep the vegetable-and-protein pattern from the cleanse for at least a week. If you feel worse rather than better, stop the cleanse and eat normally; a reset should not make you feel unwell.
Your MediClear-SGS cleanse steps
- 1. Pick your cleanse length and meal slots: Choose 3, 5, or 7 days and decide which meals the shake replaces. Write it on your calendar. Checkpoint: if you cannot name the meal being replaced, you are not ready to start.
- 2. Mix one scoop with water or plant milk: Shake or blend until smooth. Use the liquid you will actually drink consistently rather than the one that sounds best. Common mistake: using juice, which adds sugar the cleanse is trying to reduce.
- 3. Drink it at your normal meal time: Sit down and finish it within 20 to 30 minutes. Do not sip it across the afternoon as a snack. Checkpoint: if you are grazing on the shake all day, you are not replacing a meal.
- 4. Build the rest of the day around vegetables and protein: Keep solid meals simple: vegetables, lean protein, and a small starch serving. Skip alcohol and fried food during the cleanse. Common mistake: treating the shake as a license to eat whatever you want at the other meals.
- 5. Drink water between shakes: Aim to finish a 1-liter bottle by mid-afternoon and another by evening. Adjust for heat and activity. Checkpoint: dark urine and headaches are signs to add water or stop the cleanse.
- 6. Step down instead of stopping cold: If you replaced two meals, drop to one shake for a few days, then to none. Keep the vegetable-and-protein pattern for a week. Next step: if you feel worse rather than better, stop and eat normally.
Product facts
- MediClear-SGS™ - Vanilla: Thorne's MediClear-SGS combines two plant-based proteins fortified with a complete multi-vitamin/multi-mineral complex, antioxidants, broccoli seed extract, and liver-supportive botanicals. This is why the shake can stand in for a meal during a cleanse instead of acting as a thin protein drink.
- MediClear-SGS™ - Vanilla: MediClear-SGS has more protein, detox factors, and fewer carbohydrates than the original MediClear formula. Lower carbohydrate content makes it easier to keep a cleanse from turning into a sugar-heavy shake routine.
- Prenatal Support Stack: Thorne's Basic Prenatal is a daily multi-vitamin/mineral supplement designed to be gentle and effective for women trying to conceive or who are pregnant or lactating. If you are in that group, a cleanse is not the right time to experiment; talk to your clinician before replacing meals.
