The vials contain water, glycerol, flavorings, D L Alpha tocopheryl-acetate, ascorbic acid, sodium citrate, xanthan gum, citric acid, sodium chloride, sorbic acid, peppermint oil, and selenium amino acid chelate.

Package instructions direct the user to dilute the contents of one vial in a liter of water, take one table using the diluted liquid, and consume the remainder of the liquid throughout the day. This regimen should be repeated for five consecutive days to aid in the ”detoxification” of the body.
