QCarbo and Mega Clean are two very well-known popular detox drinks. They are both sold by Walmart, which is one of the reasons for that. But in the battle of QCarbo Vs Mega Clean, who wins. I am going to tell you everything you need to know about both of these detox drinks. I’ll review each in turn, and tell you about their quality.
I’ll explain exactly how a detox drink needs to work to pass a drug test, and how you must use one to stand any chance of passing. I’ll then talk to you about an alternative strategy you can use that gives you a higher chance of passing than just using a detox drink.
Let’s Talk About Herbal Cleanse QCarbo Detox
QCarbo is actually a range of several detox drinks, with different flavors, and in three different sizes (16, 20, and 32 fluid ounces size).
QCarbo has been around for many years, and is one of the detox drinks which is sold by American majors like Walmart, Walgreens, and GNC. QCarbo has a long list of ingredients, but most of them just make it taste nice and look good.
But it does contain a “proprietary blend”, that does the heavy lifting. That contains the following:
- Creatine Monohydrate: Often used in fitness supplements to help improve performance.
- Dandelion Root Extract: Commonly used for its diuretic effects.
- Burdock Root Extract: May have blood purifying properties.
- Turmeric Root Extract: Linked to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
- Milk Thistle Seed Extract: Traditionally used to support liver health.
- Echinacea Purpurea Leaf Extract: Used to boost the immune system.
- Juniper Berry Extract: UIs another a diuretic and supports urinary tract health.
- Apple Pectin: A type of fiber that can aid your digestion.
- Fibersol: A soluble fiber that can help with digestive health.
- Psyllium Husk: Another form of fiber that is often used as a laxative.
- Licorice Root: Has a long history of use for various digestive issues.
- Cayenne Pepper: Added for its potential metabolism-boosting effects.
Wow! How could this stuff not work with all that in it?
The problem is though that it’s the size and strength of the proprietary blend in these products that matters.
It’s the combination of the volume of liquid, alongside how potent it is flushing toxins out faster and can be achieved naturally that matters.
On the surface, especially the large 32 fluid ounces size appears to be in with a chance of keeping you clean for a few hours to pass a drug test.
Now Let’s Talk About Detoxify Mega Clean Detox Drink
Mega Clean detox drink is another very popular detox drink that also sold by the same large American retailers. It’s made by a company called Detoxify who make a wide range of detox drinks and related products such as pills, and combo pill and drink products.
It can be a little confusing because every single product has the same red packaging and fonts on them, as well as similar names.
But what we are talking about is the Mega Clean 32-fluid-ounce product. There is 20 fluid ounce one (XXtra Clean), and a 16 fluid ounce one (Mighty Clean).
I think its important to note that all of these products, including the more expensive 32 fluid ounce Mega Clean NT which comes with a single ‘MetaBoost’ capsule whose ingredients don’t convince me at all, contain basically an identical proprietary blend.
But continuing to focus on the standard Mega Clean 32oz, these are the ingredients in it:
- Milk Thistle Seed Extract: Known for its liver-protective properties.
- American Ginseng Root Extract: Can boost the immune system and improve energy levels.
- Guarana Seed Extract: Contains caffeine and is often used for its stimulant effects.
- Burdock Root Extract: Traditionally used for its blood purifying effects.
- Stinging Nettle Leaf Extract: Acts as a diuretic and can support urinary health.
- Taurine: An amino acid that is important for many bodily functions.
- Uva Ursi Leaf Extract: Commonly used for its diuretic and urinary tract benefits.
As you can see, many of the key ingredients in the Mega Clean proprietary blend are hitting the right spot.
Diuretics, urinary tract health, blood and immune system boosting, liver, kidneys, all the tick boxes are checked.
How To Use A Detox Drink To Pass A Drug Test
Let’s talk you through how you need to use a detox drink to stand a chance of passing a drug test, and what a good detox drink will do when you consume it.
- You should abstain from drug toxins and other things that slow your system down as soon as you know you have a drug test. Even a couple of days of natural detoxification can mean a lot of metabolites have left the body, meaning a slower movement of them through the kidneys and into the bladder.
- On the day of your test, 90 minutes before you leave, your drink the contents of the bottle. Some detox drinks then get you to refill the bottle and drink additional water (both Mega Clean and QCarbo instruct you to do so).
- You’ll then urinate several times over the next hour, and then go and submit your sample.
So as you can see, using a detox drink is pretty straightforward. But you must understand they are just masking agents, that work temporarily for a few hours by doing the following:
- A) A good quality detox drink will push toxins out of the body through the kidneys and bladder far faster than they are being processed by the body. This creates a gap in the flow of toxins, that takes several hours to be caught up. It’s during that 3 – 5 hours gap that your urine will be toxin free.
- B) Top-quality detox drinks also flood your body with things commonly found in urine. By doing so in volume and in balance, when you create that gap in the flow, the urine which is appearing in your bladder still contains the things that would be looked for on drug test validity checks.
- C) Finally, the best detox drinks also stain your urine the correct color and keep it frothing and smelling as it should as well.
QCarbo Verdict: Doesn’t Have The Ingredients And Potency To Pass A Modern Drug Test
Looking at the proprietary blend, at 17 g, it’s very large, five times the size of the Mega Clean proprietary blend.
It also contains many of the same key ingredients. So surely QCarbo32 is better than Mega Clean 32? Well, looking closely at the ingredients, the number one ingredient is actually Maltodextrin. It’s a powder that’s heavy and a carbohydrate.
It’s a filler. It’s adding nothing to the detoxification process, but it whacks up the size of the proprietary blend on the ingredients list.
Apart from that shady point, generally, QCarbo just hasn’t got the key ingredients in enough volume.
Worse than the above, is the fact that it’s got a poor track record. QCarbo 16 reviews are particularly bad, which is unsurprising considering there’s only 16 fluid ounces of liquid which isn’t even enough to flush out a child.
But even the larger 32 fluid ounce size has a poor track record of user reviews.
Does QCarbo work? For me, it’s doubtful. You might get through if you have lower levels of metabolites working their way out of your body, but I personally would never use it or recommend it.
Does Mega Clean Work: Can It Pass A Modern Drug Test?
On its own, Mega Clean is a good option. But only if you’ve got low levels of drug metabolites in your body, or you have managed to abstain for at least two days before your test.
If you’re a regular weed smoker, or you are taking drugs quite frequently in the lead-up up your test, then the gap in the flow of metabolites I’ve explained earlier will be very low, and may not completely stop.
But of the easily obtainable detox drinks, Mega Clean is one of the few that could work and is definitely a better option than QCarbo.
How To Pass A Drug Test With Mega Clean: Combo Strategy That Really Works
The absolute best option is to grab yourself a short course of Toxin Rid detox pills with a bottle of Mega Clean detox. As long as you’ve got at least 24 hours, preferably 40 hours or 72 hours, before your test, you can detoxify your body and accelerate it using the detox pills.
This will obviously leave a slower flow of metabolites exiting the body, which means a bigger gap in the flow of those toxins created by Mega Clean.
If you buy Mega Clean from Test Clear, you get six free Toxin Rid pills bundled in. This gives you a short course of pre-rid pills, that you can use on the day of your test to push out more toxins than you could naturally. It’s a completely free bonus.
Alternatively from Test Clear, you could also buy an additional single day of the full Toxin Rid pill course. Or maybe if you have the time, a two-day course.
Doing a two-day course of Toxin Rid, then using the free pre-rid pills on the day before your test, and then masking the toxins were Mega Clean, is an almost surefire guarantee of passing.
