Juice cleanses are an easy way to boost your health and immune system, but figuring out how to do it right isn’t as simple as it should be. We spoke to David Kirsch, whose eponymous line of juice cleanses has quickly become a favorite amongst the health conscious and first timers.

We get David Kirsch drinks from Maxwell Aesthetics, a well-curated shop (online too!) that focuses on renewal. In addition to some of Kirsch’s most popular products, they carry everything from NeoCutis restorative creams to the SkinCeuticals Age Defense System. To celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness month, they’re donating 10% of shop proceeds to the Making Strides for Breast Cancer Walk. If that’s not a good excuse to get a juice cleanse going, we don’t know what is.

After Fashion Week in New York, London, and Milan, Paris Fashion Week is wrapping up tomorrow. No matter where, fashion week means long days and late nights, sumptuous food and maybe even a drink too many. Can you explain why a juice cleanse would be a great antidote? Super Charged Greens looks especially appealing. 

The Super Charged Greens is actually not a full cleanse, but it is included in the 5 Day Detox. The three cleanses we offer are the 2 Day Cleanse (Tune-Up), the 5 Day Ultimate Detox and the 7 Day Cleanse. Whichever one you choose, cleanses are a very effective tool to stop the cycle of bad eating that you doubtlessly indulge in during Fashion Week. The science behind a cleanse is to eliminate toxins in your body – when you’re not eating or drinking properly, or you’re drinking too much, your body becomes a reservoir of things that are unhealthy, and you want to clean it out.

Can you tell us the story of how David Kirsch juices came to be? 

I’ll be honest with you – my cleanses came as a response to other cleanses on the market. There were so many people talking about doing the “Master Cleanse,” just having liquids for a really long period of time, and I thought to myself, “That’s really not healthy, and, it’s really not as comprehensive as it should be.” So, I made the 48 Hour Super Charged Cleanse, which contains top colon, liver and kidney cleansing antioxidants like acai berry, milk thistle and cranberry, and added fiber, appetite-suppressing Chromium Picolinate, and energy-boosting Vitamin B-12. The Ultimate 5 Day Detox Kit shocks the body for two days to get rid of toxins, rest your colon, and clean out your liver and kidneys. On Day 3, you start probiotics, having two shakes a day, and you start the Super Charged Greens. Both of these cleanses came as a response to products that were already out there, but just weren’t comprehensive enough.

It’s become quite trendy to do a multiple day juice cleanse/fast, but it seems like you recommend a more moderate approach–adding a juice to your diet everyday. Can you explain how David Kirsch drinks are meant to be used? 

I strongly recommend adding an A.M. Daily Detox every morning. Using the health benefits of red wine grapes, ten different berries, Lycopene, Resveratrol, and Pycnogenol, this immensely rich source of antioxidants works to remove toxins, disarm free radicals and reverse damage to the cells and skin. It’s the perfect way to start your day – you’ll have done something good for yourself before you even step out the door. I also recommend having the Super Charged Greens every day. These greens replace the fruit that people often snack on and overdo, and the greens you eat every day may not have the nutrients you need because they’re not prepared properly so they aren’t as nutrient-rich as they should be. The greens, fruit enzymes and vegetable enzymes are meant to supplement the nutrients you may not be getting in your daily diet.

What are the benefits to adding your juices to our diet? What can we expect? 

You can expect to have better energy, achieve greater body function, and perhaps weight loss if done in conjunction with exercise.

Finally, what’s your favorite juice?

Definitely my A.M. Daily Detox. It’s just an amazing product, good for everyone, and it should be taken every single day.
