Here is the complete ingredient list of the Kenrico Detox Pad . A varied combination of these top grade ingredients is used to make 10 different types of Detox Pads.
 Ubame Oak from Kyushu Island, Japan. The only oak that yields our first grade vinegars. | Wood Vinegar Source: Ubame Oak (Quercus Phillyraeoides) Ubame Oak, Quercus phillyraeoides, is placed in the furnace and heated up to 250 degrees Celsius. The smoke is then condensed into the vinegar. The next step is to filter the vinegar at least 5 times, to obtain maximum purity. It is then stored for 6 months to mature. The middle layer of the vinegar is then filtered off and used in the finished product. To obtain the powder, the vinegar is then again heated, condensed, and then dried with a special drying machine before our quality inspection is performed. This process yields a very high concentrate extract with an extremely high level of purity. Wood vinegar is traditionally believed to be able to improve our blood circulation. This improved circulation can lead to relief from fatigue, headache, double vision, blood pressure, arthritis, and many other similar symptoms. |
 Pseudosasa Japonica, native arrow bamboo from Shikoku Island, Japan. | Bamboo Vinegar Source: Arrow Bamboo (Pseudosasa Japonica) Arrow bamboo, Pseudosasa Japonica, is placed into the furnace and is heated up to 250 degrees Celsius. The smoke is then condensed into the vinegar. The next step is to filter the vinegar at least 5 times, to obtain purity. As with the wood vinegar it is then stored for 6 months to reach maturity. The middle layer of this vinegar is again used in the finished product. To obtain the powder, the vinegar is then again heated, condensed, and then dried with a special drying machine before our quality inspection is performed. This process yields a very high concentrate extract with an extremely high level of purity. Bamboo vinegar is believed to have double the effect of the wood vinegar. Bamboo vinegar costs almost twice as much as wood vinegar to manufacture. |
 Selected high quality crab shell from Shimizu, Shizuoka in Japan. | Chitosan Source: Shell of a crab Chitosan is the result of the biomass research; it is extracted from the shell of a 'crab shrimp' and added to the Sap Sheet. Chitosan products have been used now for over 30 years by water companies to trap toxins, grease, heavy metals, and oils. It is the second most plentiful fibre, after cellulose. Extensive studies have also been carried out to determine its fat binding properties. The results found it to lower LDL, bad cholesterol by 6%, and enhance the HDL, good cholesterol by 10%. It has also been successfully marketed as a weight loss supplement. |

 Our Tourmaline is source from Hokkaido Island, Japan. | Tourmaline Source: Tourmaline (semi precious) stone Tourmaline is a very popular gemstone and collectors mineral. It exists in all colors, and the multicolored stones are unsurpassed in splendor. Tourmaline is both pyroelectric and piezoelectric. If a specimen is put under pressure, or a temperature change, it will generate an electrical charge. Tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese word Turamali, which was given to mixtures of unidentified gem gravels in Ceylon, now known Sri Lanka.

 Fresh cut and ground Cayenne. We use cayenne native to Shizuoka, here in Japan. | Cayenne Source: Chili peppers Cayenne pepper, also called Capsicum frutescens, is a stimulating herb made from the dried pods of the chili pepper and is well known for its pungent taste and smell. Cayenne is a popular spice used in many different regional styles of cooking, but it has also been used medicinally for thousands of years. Cayenne is often referred to as chili, which is the Aztec name for cayenne pepper. The main traditional therapeutic properties of cayenne are derived from a chemical called capsaicin. Capsaicin is the ingredient which gives peppers their HEAT. A pepper's capsaicin content ranges from 0-1.5%. Peppers are measured according to heat units. The degree of heat determines the peppers' usage and value. Generally, the hotter the pepper, the more capsaicin it contains. In addition to adding heat to the pepper, capsaicin acts to reduce platelet stickiness and relieve pain. Other constituents of cayenne are vitamins E, vitamin C and carotenoids. Cayenne is traditional used worldwide to help a variety of health conditions, including poor circulation, weak digestion, heart disease, chronic pain, sore throats, headaches, toothache and supports a healthy heart. |
 Milk Thistle source from the herb garden in Yaizu, in the Shizuoka province. | Milk Thistle Source: Milk Thistle (Silybum Marianum) Milk thistle (Silybum Marianum) has been used as a tonic herb for the liver for over 2000 years. The plant itself can be found in Northern Japan, Europe and Northern Africa. Milk thistle is best known as a producer of liver protector known as silymarin; a group of milk thistle flavonoids - silybinin, silychristin, silydianin and isosilybinin. Silymarin supports normal liver function and has supported recovering alcoholics. It also supports normal structure in liver cells. The silybin component of sillymarin has been related to cholesterol-normalizing effects . Sylimarin may also help support where concerned about gallstones and inflammatory conditions (psoriasis). In Europe, German Commission E approved the use of milk thistle as nutritional support for liver damage, inflammatory liver disease, and cirrhosis. |
 Our high quality green tea from the Shizuoka tea plantation. | Green Tea Source: Green Tea Our green tea is directly harvested from the green tea plantation here in the Shizuoka province. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), found in green tea, is at least 100 more times more effective than vitamin C, and 25 times more effective than vitamin E at protecting cells and DNA from damage believed to be linked to cancer, heart disease and other serious illnesses. This antioxidant has twice the benefits of resveratrol, which can be found in red wine. Recent studies also suggest that the green tea catechins are also directly related to reductions in body fat. Weight is gained as excessive sugars and fats are stored in the body as fat cells. Green tea catechins can help prevent excess weight by inhibiting the movement of glucose within the fat cells. |
 Domestic corn and corn flour before undergoing further processing. | Dextrin Source: Corn flour Dextrin is a product of starch hydrolysis, a carbohydrate having the same general molecular structure as starch but with a smaller and less complex molecule with adhesive properties. Its presence is necessary in our Detox Foot Pads as a filler, and also to bind other ingredients together. Beware of claims for Detox Pads made without dextrin, as this is misleading. Without dextrin, Sap Sheets will not work, like a car running without tires. However, keeping the amount of dextrin low in the foot pads is the best way to achieve optimum results. Detox Pads with high amounts of dextrin, and with low amounts of vinegar, gives less benefit and poor results, although the smell of the vinegar is less pungent. |
