Practical issues

Yes — Unlike tea and coffee, kinkeliba does not contain caffeine. Its evening consumption even promotes the digestion of the meal and can improve the quality of sleep thanks to its light relaxing properties related to flavonoids. This is even the ideal time for hepatoprotective cure, the liver achieving the essential of its detoxification at night.

Can the kinkeliba cure be combined with intermittent fasting?

Excellent combination. The fasting kinkeliba tea (during the fasting window) stimulates hepatic detoxification and renal drainage without bringing calories. It strengthens cell autolysis (recycling of damaged cells) which is one of the benefits of intermittent fasting.
