Frequently asked questions about organic juice cleanses & ginger shots from I·DO – Everything you need to know

Work stress, another night of heavy drinking, and once again forgetting to give your body what it truly needs – everyday life can be stressful. All these things can lead to feeling uncomfortable in your own skin. When your body isn't functioning properly, it can affect many aspects of your life, which is why your health and a balanced diet should be a priority.

That's why I·DO offers juice cleanses :

Choose between the Easy Organic Juice Cleanse (3 days), the Organic Balance Juice Cleanse (5 days), or the Lean Green Organic Juice Cleanse (6 days). Whether you're looking for a short break, a fresh start, or an intensive challenge, I·DO juice cleanses offer something for everyone.

During the I·DO organic juice cleanse, the body receives everything it needs – vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzymes, and antioxidants. Our juice cleanses offer a way to revitalize and replenish the body's energy reserves with the finest organic fruits and vegetables.

I·DO's juice cleanses are genuine organic juice cleanses. Why does that make such a huge difference? A juice cleanse aims to detoxify and cleanse the body, so what's the point if you're immediately ingesting pesticides again through low-quality juice? That's why I·DO has been committed to organic products from day one and makes no compromises.

Furthermore, I·DO recommends consuming several 240ml bottles per day – guaranteeing maximum variety and flexibility. After all, the juice cleanse should not only have great effects, but also taste good and be fun!

In addition to the careful selection of high-quality organic and fresh ingredients, we have developed all our juice cleanses and ginger shots together with naturopaths to ensure that you do not lack any nutrients, minerals or vitamins during your cleanse.

Finally, we only produce small batches to guarantee optimal freshness and avoid unnecessary waste.

I·DO is convinced that it offers the best organic juice cleanse! A great deal of effort and love goes into the development and production of I·DO organic juices every day – each juice is unique! Nevertheless, everyone has to find out for themselves what works best.

In fact, the body is designed to eliminate toxins independently through the function of the liver and kidneys. A little support to really flush out the body never hurt.

In short: No!

However: The I·DO organic juice cleanse consists of different I·DO organic juices of 240ml each day . The sequence of juices is nutritionally balanced to perfectly support each individual throughout the day.

I·DO offers eleven different juice cleanses , lasting between 3 and 24 days. From a short, rejuvenating break to a pleasurable restart and a challenging vegetable juice cleanse, we have something for everyone. With these cleanses, we've created the perfect juice cleanses to support and nourish you in a variety of phases and to meet your different goals.

A longer fasting period is of course still possible. For example, you can fast for 10 or 12 days. In this case, the corresponding juice cleanse package should be added to your shopping cart twice. A customized juice cleanse is also possible. The individual juices can be combined as desired – they are always delivered in packs of six.

The organic juice cures from I·DO are structured differently and have different durations:

The Easy Bio Juice Treatment (3 days) is a simple, three-day break to relieve stress and make you feel more light. 6-7 cold-pressed, never heated organic juices are delivered per day, Fireball Boost or Happy Hazelnut are available separately in the value package. Give yourself and your body a short break to breathe deeply, recharge your batteries and gain new energy. The Easy Bio juice treatment combines six (basic) or seven (value package) cold-pressed, unpasteurized juices per day in a perfect, varied juice treatment package.

The Bio Balance juice treatment (5 days) is a proven and enjoyable new start for a life in balance. 8-10 cold-pressed, never heated organic juices are delivered per day. Are you looking for a reset or want to bring more balance into your life? The Bio Balance juice treatment combines eight (basic) or ten (value package) cold-pressed, unpasteurized juices and wellness drinks per day in a perfectly coordinated juice treatment package.

The Lean Green Organic Juice Treatment (6 days) is the sophisticated vegetable juice treatment with extra little sugar. 6-7 cold-pressed, never heated organic juices are delivered per day. Would you like to feel more lightness again? The Lean Green Organic Juice Cleanse combines six (basic) or seven (value package) cold-pressed, unpasteurized juices per day in a perfect, reduced-calorie juice cleanse package.

All juices are of course 100% raw food quality and vegan and without added sugar or artificial additives. There is a juice cleanse guide and app instructions for every juice cleanse.

The green juices are the engine in the I·DO menu. The high proportion of kale and other superfoods makes green juice an important component of I DO juice cleanses. If there is no other option, you can add a little lemon or lime juice to the juice.

It is also possible to create your own individual juice cleanse if you buy I·DO organic juices in retail stores and combine them yourself.

Here you can also create your own individual juice cleanse with 14 juices.

Finally, it's possible to order individual juices online and create your own juice cleanse . A longer juice cleanse is also possible by adding the individual juices to your shopping cart multiple times.

The calorie content of all I·DO juice cleanses is listed on each product page in the "NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION" section.

For most people, the calorie intake during a juice cleanse is significantly lower than in their regular diet, which is why a juice cleanse often has the side effect of shedding a few pounds. However, I·DO expressly distances itself from providers who misuse the term juice fasting as a diet, because even if the weight will reduce somewhat during the I·DO organic juice treatment - without a long-term change in one's own diet, the kilos will fall immediately after the treatment be back on it.

You should not do a juice cleanse during pregnancy or breastfeeding, because a juice cleanse means you consume a smaller amount of calories for a short period of time, which creates an energy deficit. During pregnancy, however, the body needs more energy than usual, which is why a juice cleanse is not advisable during this time.

But after breastfeeding it shouldn't be a problem. In this case, any family doctor can help and provide information.

If you are under 18, please consult your parents and/or a doctor first.

In this case, a family doctor should be consulted just to be on the safe side.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to leave out or add ingredients for individual orders because the recipes are finely coordinated and cannot be easily changed. For each juice treatment, individual juices can be ordered online (or in stores) to replace the juice - I·DO customer support will be happy to help if you have any questions about the replacement.

In this case, you should definitely consult a doctor before ordering an I·DO organic juice treatment.

The I·DO organic juice cleanse offers not only a range of delicious juices, but also products that are packed with nutritional value! The juice cleanse provides a variety of nutrients – for example, vitamins and minerals.

Furthermore, I·DO guarantees a balanced supply through the varied composition and different contents of the individual juices.

How long do I.DO juices last?

You will receive juices with a minimum shelf life of 10 days, but in general, most of the juices you receive will last for an average of 3 to 6 weeks.

Can the juices still be consumed a few days after the expiration date if they have been stored in the refrigerator at below 7 degrees Celsius? This is possible, but not ideal as part of a juice cleanse. We recommend that you carry out the following tests to be on the safe side.

Check that the tamper-evident ring on the cap is intact, indicating that the packaging is properly sealed and there are no leaks. Only an airtight seal can guarantee shelf life. Make sure the bottle or bag is not bulging and remains thin and smooth. Bulging indicates fermentation inside the bottle. If the bottle is not deformed, this is a good sign.

If there are no leaks and the bottle is not deformed, shake the juice, hold the bottle to your ear, and open it slowly. If you hear a hissing sound when opening it, this means the bottle is likely fermented.

If you don't hear a hissing sound when you open the carton, smell the juice for any signs of fermentation or fizzing. Trust your nose. If the juice has a normal, pleasant smell, there's no problem and you can taste it. A spoiled product would have a fizzy or rancid taste or cause a tingling sensation on your tongue.

In this case, it is still completely safe to drink the product, and it does not need to be thrown away.

It is important that I·DO's organic juices are constantly cooled at a temperature between 1 and 7°C, as this is the only way to preserve their quality.

Thanks to HPP technology, an innovative manufacturing process, I·DO's organic juices have a longer shelf life and therefore remain fresh even if the treatment is ordered in advance and only started a few days later – thus guaranteeing maximum flexibility without loss of quality.

The best before date printed on each bottle cap allows you to determine the remaining shelf life and storage time of the juice cleanse at home.

You may have noticed that our IDO juices and shots become clear after a while in the refrigerator or on the refrigerated shelf in the store, as the ingredients settle at the bottom of the bottle. This phenomenon is called sedimentation. Here we would like to explain why this happens and why sedimentation is a sign of the quality of our juices and shots.

Why does this happen?
Density difference: The particles in a juice, such as pulp or fiber, are heavier than the surrounding liquid because they have a higher density. Without constant movement, these heavier particles sink to the bottom of the bottle and collect there.

What are the effects of sedimentation?
It only affects the appearance and has no impact on the taste. Simply shaking the bottle before opening ensures that all natural ingredients are evenly distributed in the juice.

Why is sedimentation a sign of quality?

You've probably noticed that not all juices and shots contain sediment. There are ways to avoid or minimize this, such as homogenizing the juice or adding stabilizers. Pasteurization—a process in which the juice is heated—can also affect sedimentation, especially in juices containing natural substances like pectin, which is found in fruits such as apples. Pectin, a natural gelling agent, thickens liquids when heated. Furthermore, the heating process can break down certain solid components or alter their structure, thus reducing their tendency to sediment.

At IDO, we avoid artificial stabilizers and processes like pasteurization, which can destroy many natural flavors and nutrients. Sedimentation is a sign that the juice has undergone little to no processing. The settled particles are rich in natural fiber, vitamins, and other nutrients. By shaking the juice well, you ensure even distribution and can fully enjoy its flavor.

The next time you see a juice or shot where the solids have settled and the top looks watery, you can rejoice: This is a direct sign of minimal processing and the highest quality.

Shake, open, enjoy!

Although it's not wrong not to overdo your workload during a juice cleanse, everyone should still be able to get through a normal working day just fine. Many of the I·DO customers even report enthusiastically about an exhilarating day at work during the juice cleanse.

The juice cures from I·DO also work without such treatment in advance. However, a colon cleanse can improve the results of a juice cleanse. In addition, an empty intestine reduces the feeling of hunger at the start of the juice cleanse - so it's worth considering, but not a must.

During the preparation days (approximately 3-5 days) before a juice cleanse, fatty foods, carbohydrates, meat, and sugar should be avoided. Good alternatives include whole-grain carbohydrates such as quinoa, brown rice, or millet, along with light raw foods, fruits, and vegetables. Eating smaller portions can help prepare the stomach for the cleanse.

It is best to avoid alcohol, nicotine and caffeine during the preparation days.

Such preparation days are recommended for every juice cleanse to maximize the benefits. However, they are not mandatory – I·DO's organic juice cleanses will be beneficial and effective even without preparation days.

The I·DO organic juice cleanse contains all the juices and ingredients needed for a juice cleanse - so there's nothing extra to buy.

The main goal of a juice cleanse is to protect and avoid putting stress on the digestive tract. While fiber is naturally an important component of a balanced diet outside of the I·DO Bio juice cleanse and is also important for digestion, it does not contain any nutrients that might be lacking during a juice cleanse.

Green juices are an important component of the I·DO organic juice cleanse, as they also contain protein. If absolutely necessary, the need for protein and essential fatty acids can be supplemented, for example, with nuts.

Dietary supplements should be completely avoided - the I·DO Bio juice cleanse is specially formulated to ensure that there should be no deficiencies in the body.

I·DO recommends completely abstaining from nicotine, alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and sweeteners during a juice cleanse, as this is the only way the body can detoxify completely. What's the point of detoxification if you're consuming new toxins during the process?

A juice cleanse is intended to cleanse and detoxify the body from the inside out; therefore, in order to experience the healing and cleansing effects of I·DO organic juices, toxins should be avoided.

For those who regularly consume alcohol, abstinence of at least one day before starting the juice cleanse is recommended; I·DO even explicitly warns against alcohol consumption during the I·DO Organic Juice Cleanse.

Solid food is not recommended and should be avoided during an I·DO organic juice cleanse .

If the feeling of hunger becomes truly unbearable, a little cucumber or a few nuts can be eaten. Additionally, drinking plenty of fluids always helps.

Gentle exercise such as running, swimming and yoga are particularly suitable during the juice cleanse. However, every person reacts differently and can do more or less exercise during a juice cleanse, so everyone should decide individually what and how much is possible. But it doesn't hurt to allow your body to relax and rest - you shouldn't expect too much of it

The I·DO recipes and the sequence of juices are specifically designed to be sustainable throughout a normal day – several 240ml bottles are consumed daily. There's a significant difference between hunger and cravings. Everyone knows that intense hunger pang just before falling asleep or during stressful situations – it's important to distinguish between genuine hunger and a craving. However, the juice cleanse is intentionally designed so that no additional food intake is necessary.

Juice cleanses from I·DO may also help develop a sense of mindful eating. This experience can also be helpful even after the actual juice cleanse is over.

If there is absolutely no other option, a few nuts, almonds, cashews or a few pieces of cucumber can be eaten.

Both should be avoided during the juice cleanse, as it tricks the brain into thinking that it has eaten and thus increases the feeling of hunger.

Caffeine and teas containing tea should be avoided during a juice cleanse - herbal teas are good. A hot lemon with ginger and honey is also a sensible alternative. Of course, you should also drink as much water as possible, preferably still.

I·DO recommends not immediately returning to old patterns and habits after several days of juice treatment. A juice cleanse costs a lot of willpower, time and money - so why go back to the status quo?

A central aspect of the juice cleanse is to create a new relationship with the body, nutrition and the feeling of hunger. During I·DO's organic juice cleanses, you will learn the difference between appetite (desire to eat), hunger (a growling stomach) and a real need for food. This experience and knowledge can be used to sustainably change eating habits.

In order not to immediately put the body under full strain again after a juice cleanse, you should change your diet slowly and get used to solid food again - it is best to drink a lot and, if possible, avoid stimulants (such as alcohol, coffee and cigarettes). Small portions can help you slowly get used to solid food again. You should eat lots of raw vegetables and no fatty, difficult-to-digest foods.

The diet in the days after the juice cleanse can be compiled from the following examples:

Breakfast: Lots of raw vegetables, fruit & fruit salads, vegetable/fruit juices, nuts

Lunch: Soups, salads, steamed vegetables, vegetable/fruit juices, whole carbohydrates (quinoa, brown rice, sweet potatoes, beans, oatmeal…)

Dinner: salad, vegetables, whole carbohydrates, soups

By eating slowly and in small portions, digestion is stimulated little by little and the body is not overloaded. This diet can be maintained even after a few days, because perhaps the organic juice cleanses from I·DO are not just a unique experience, but the first step towards a new, more conscious life and a healthy, balanced diet.

Every person reacts differently to avoiding solid food, caffeine and nicotine, which is basically what an organic juice treatment from I·DO does. The “withdrawal” can be particularly noticeable for coffee drinkers or smokers. In individual cases withdrawal symptoms may occur:

Fatigue and dizziness

Withdrawal of sugar or pick-me-ups, such as coffee, can lead to tiredness or even slight dizziness - but with lots of fluids and light exercise, the circulation can get going again. During a juice cleanse, it is never a bad idea to rest and give your body a break. If you feel slightly dizzy, it's best to slow down and rest.

Headache:

Withdrawal can cause blood pressure to drop, which can lead to headaches. Headaches can be combated by exercising in the fresh air and drinking plenty of fluids (water and herbal tea).

Digestion:

Diarrhea, flatulence, constipation or a persistent feeling of fullness - raw food and fiber can cause digestion to become unbalanced at the beginning of a juice cleanse. Lots of fluids, such as water and herbal tea, also help here.

Skin irritations:

The consequences of detoxification can also be seen on the skin, namely through irritations, impurities and pimples. Fortunately, this is only temporary and after a while the skin should shine with a new shine.

Sensitivity to cold:

Since only cold juices are consumed during a juice cleanse and the energy intake is reduced by avoiding solid food, the body can react more sensitively to cold and begin to shiver. It helps to wrap up warmly and drink hot herbal tea.

Bad breath:

Bad breath can occur as a side effect of juice cleanses, but in this case you should not resort to chewing gum or sweets. It can help to gargle with herbal tea or simply brush your teeth a little more often than usual.

If withdrawal symptoms occur, you should not give up, because the subsequent increase in subjective well-being and general performance will be worth the effort.

Every body reacts differently. For some people everything stays as usual, others get a bit of diarrhea or the exact opposite, constipation - but does it matter? As a rule: no. Due to the change in food intake, digestion can also change slightly in the short term. If you are constipated, it is recommended to drink plenty of water. Even mild physical exertion can get the digestive tract going.

As with all physical changes and symptoms of a juice cleanse, you should see a doctor if symptoms persist for several days.

I·DO supplies fresh products, which is why individual varieties can be temporarily replaced in the juice treatment for reasons of availability. If the demand for individual products is particularly high or individual juices are not available, they will be replaced partially or completely - but the recommended order for your consumption does not change.
