The research behind every active.

Scan the counts, see what each ingredient is studied for, and read the common findings. Eight actives across two formulas: Zeolite Detox, built around your body's response to modern environmental load, and Methylene Blue, studied for cellular energy and brain function.

Active ingredient References* What it's studied for Common findings*
Zeotex® Clinoptilolite Zeolite Core binder · <1μm 13+ Toxin & heavy-metal binding, ion exchange, gut-wall integrity, antioxidant enzyme activity, microbiome balance Cage-like, negatively charged structure acts as a molecular sieve — binding positively charged metals, waste and plastic residue. Linked to boosted antioxidant enzymes (SOD, glutathione peroxidase) and improved gut-barrier integrity.
Chlorella Microalgae · adsorbent 11+ Heavy-metal & toxin adsorption, antioxidant status, lipid & glucose markers, gut flora support Cell walls adsorb toxic compounds in the intestine; high negative surface charge adheres to positively charged molecules including microplastics. Meta-analyses report improved cholesterol, blood pressure and fasting glucose.
Shilajit Fulvic-acid complex 17+ Toxin chelation, nutrient transport, antioxidant & anti-fatigue activity, adaptogenic support 60–80% humic substances and fulvic acid — natural binders shown to chelate pesticides, organic pollutants and plastic residue, while acting as a carrier molecule that supports the body's detoxifying capacity.
Milk Thistle Silymarin 13+ Liver protection, membrane stabilization, antioxidant defense, anti-fibrotic activity One of the most-researched liver-support botanicals. Silymarin shown to reduce liver injury from heavy metals and microplastics by regressing pathology and stabilizing cell membranes.
Turmeric Curcumin 7+ Free-radical scavenging, hepatobiliary & bile flow, intracellular chelation, anti-inflammatory activity Crosses the blood–brain barrier to scavenge toxins intracellularly. Increases bile production to aid clearance, and shows antioxidant activity reported as comparable to or stronger than vitamins C and E.
Magnesium & Molybdenum Formulation cofactors Cofactors Enzymatic detox pathways, antioxidant enzyme function, normal metabolic activity Essential mineral cofactors that support the enzymatic reactions involved in the body's natural detoxification and antioxidant systems.
Methylene Blue Redox cycler · mitochondrial 21+ Mitochondrial electron transfer & ATP production, brain energy metabolism, memory & focus, neuroprotection in aging models Shuttles electrons within the mitochondrial respiratory chain, supporting cellular oxygen use and ATP output. Small human trials report improved memory retrieval and changes in brain activity during attention tasks; most mechanistic data come from cell and animal studies.

* Reference counts reflect the published literature compiled in the Harmonex Zeolite Detox research bibliography and, for Methylene Blue, the studies listed in the Research Library below. The findings column is an ingredient-level generalization of commonly reported outcomes from publicly available studies; results vary by dose, duration, formulation and population, and do not reproduce any single study. Methylene Blue findings draw on human, animal and cell studies, and animal or cell results do not necessarily apply to people. Talk to your healthcare provider before use, especially if you take prescription medication. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food & Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Research Library

Every reference, in one place.

A browsable library of the published literature behind our two products. Zeolite Detox and Methylene Blue each have their own section below. Filter by ingredient or by concern, and open any paper at its source.

Live Clean

Zeolite Detox

The research behind each active in the formula, plus the microplastics literature that frames the problem it was built for.

Live Sharp

Methylene Blue

A separate product with its own body of research: mitochondrial energy, brain metabolism, memory and focus. Each card is tagged by study type, so you can see which findings come from human trials and which come from cells and animals.
