❓ Q&A: Tamarind & Fluoride Detox
Q1: How often should I drink tamarind for fluoride detox?
A: For general detox support, 1 small serving daily (about 1/3 to 1/2 cup) for 2–3 weeks is a commonly cited regimen in studies. Always check with a healthcare provider before long-term use.
Q2: Can tamarind really help remove fluoride from bones?
A: Yes. Clinical studies (like the one from 2021) have shown that tamarind increases urinary fluoride excretion and may help mobilize fluoride from bone tissue. However, more research is still ongoing.
Q3: Is tamarind safe for everyone?
A: Tamarind is generally safe, but it can interact with blood thinners like aspirin and warfarin. It may also lower blood sugar, so diabetics should monitor levels closely. Consult your doctor before regular use.
Q4: Can I cook with tamarind instead of making a drink?
A: Absolutely. Tamarind is commonly used in soups, chutneys, sauces, and even curries. The key is regular, moderate intake.
Q5: How long does it take to see effects?
A: You may notice increased urination and energy levels within a week. Detox effects vary based on body burden and diet.
