from what i have read the cayenne boosts metabolism, and helps looses gunk, the maple syrup porvides minerals and nutrition, the lemons boost cleansing. i oersonally cant stand the cayenne so i take a capsule of it with the lemonade. solaray has a cayenne thatis 100,000 heat units. i make the lemonade with 2 T of lemon juice and 1 of maple syrup, and 8-10 oz of warm water. ( two tablespoons of syrup was too sweet for me.) it is like a hot toddy and actually quite good.
Tracey can correct me if im wrong about the purpose of the ingredents. shes the guru of cleansing
