What is the Medical Medium heavy metal detox smoothie and does it work?

No human trial of this smoothie was located, so the recipe is not restated and the protocol is not graded. Cilantro has one small null trial for blood lead. Chlorella has small studies of hair or blood mercury. Those pages do not test the smoothie as a mixture.

Related evidence that does exist

See the cilantro and chlorella pages for the studies that were found. Combining them in a drink was not an exposure in those trials.
