Unraveling the scam: Xitox doesn’t cleanse the body from toxins

The Xitox footpads is not really a scam perse, however the claims made by the manufacturer are questionable. The Xitox which comes in a box that contains 30 pieces of patches for the foot, is said to cleanse the body from harmful toxins.

However, the claims are not scientifically proven, and has been debunked by various Health magazines.

Why does Xitox detox pads turn black?

When placed under the feet, the Xitox looks dark after some hours, this shows it has been working. However, this is pure gimmicks. You must have seen the glowing reviews online that claims this Japanese medicine contains ingredients like mint leaf, and the likes. What these reviews fail to tell you is that the product contains ingredients that will react to moisture and body heat and it changes the color from whatever it is to black once in touch with heat and humidity.

How did I find out? I placed the patch above my kettle and it immediately turn to black. So yeah, the patch is not cleansing toxins from your body like you were made to believe.

It rather turns black because it reacts to moisture and body heat. Proof? just put one above a source of steams such as a kettle and see for yourself.

Does Xitox Really Work?

MayoClinic has addressed this issue on this article here. The truth is that there’s no reliable evidence that detox foot pads work. Like weight loss patches, No scientific studies have been published that show that detox foot pads work or that they’re safe. The Federal Trade Commission has even charged some distributors of detox foot pads with deceptive advertising.

The bottom line: As with anything that sounds too good to be true, your best bet is to wait for scientific evidence that proves a claim before investing your time and money.

Some ingredients in these pads, like ginger, tourmaline, and lavender, might have benefits for pain and sleep. But watch out for things like wood or bamboo vinegar, which could irritate your skin.

What To Expect When You Buy this Detox Foot Pads
