Original Lemonade

The combination originated as "The Master Cleanse" (or Lemonade Diet), created by an alternative health practitioner named Stanley Burroughs in 1941. It required drinking only water, lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper for 10 to 40 days.

The resurgence of this lemonade diet was made popular in the mid-2000s when celebrities and models drank this blend for short-term weight loss reasons.

Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, the naturally occurring compound responsible for its signature heat. Research suggests capsaicin may gently support thermogenesis which is the body’s natural process of producing heat and using energy.

Lemon naturally provides vitamin C which supports normal immune function, collagen production and antioxidant protection, while also helping the body absorb iron from plant-based foods.
