Deturge Testimonial

“Your product “DETURGE” is the best I have come across on the market. Nothing comes close to it, as far as ingredients and effectiveness are concerned. Where as, most products boast about containing Psylium and Slippery Elm, which are certainly effective, Deturge goes the whole gamut and includes a plethora of the best detoxifying ingredients that are known on the planet. If any other company would even attempt to create a similar product, it would cost them hundreds of dollars for a single bottle. And that does not even include marketing and distribution costs. Bravo, thank you for this superior product, it has helped me immensely and everyone that I have recommended it to. Everyone who uses it loves it!” — Ivars Elksnis
