Your cleanse gave you a headache. Now you're being told that means it's working.
That explanation can make it harder to take your own reaction seriously. A symptom is information to pay attention to; it doesn't establish that a product is removing something harmful.
Before you keep going, look at exactly what you took, the amount, when symptoms began and what else changed. Keep the packaging so a pharmacist or your healthcare professional can review the actual ingredients.
There is limited evidence supporting commercial detox programs, and some carry risks. You don't need to prove commitment by pushing through a bad reaction.
Save this before your next cleanse. If a reaction is severe or rapidly worsening, seek urgent help rather than waiting for a promised breakthrough.
