LiveGood's Parasite Cleanse combines black walnut, wormwood, clove, and four more traditional botanicals into a two-capsule daily formula, $12.95 for members. Here is an honest look at what is in it, how the protocol works, and the straight talk this category almost never gives you.
The parasite cleanse category runs on fear marketing and vague proprietary blends: Parabroom charges $49.00 and Divine Defender $60.00, often without disclosing how much of each herb you are actually getting. It is the corner of the supplement world where honesty is rarest, so let us practice some.
First, the straight talk: if you genuinely suspect a parasitic infection, from travel, symptoms, or exposure, that is a doctor visit and a stool test, because diagnosed parasites are treated with prescription medicine, not supplements.
What this formula honestly is: the classic traditional trio of black walnut hull, wormwood, and clove, plus oregano, pumpkin seed, artichoke leaf, and pau d'arco, each at a disclosed dose totaling 1,200 mg per serving, used for centuries in traditional gut routines. At $12.95 for members with every dose on the label, it is the transparent version of a famously murky category.
Black walnut hull, wormwood, and clove, 200 mg each, are the traditional backbone of herbal cleanse protocols. Tradition is not proof, though: human research on these herbs for parasites is thin, which is why a real infection needs a doctor.
Oregano and pumpkin seed extracts at 10:1 concentration bring the antimicrobial-tradition herbs, rounding the formula beyond what the old-school protocols carried.
Artichoke leaf supports bile flow and digestive comfort, and pau d'arco is a traditional South American bark, the supporting cast that makes a cleanse month feel manageable. LiveGood suggests pairing it with Liver Support, Probiotic Gut Support and Organic Fiber.
Two capsules each morning, one month per bottle. LiveGood suggests two to three months with a one-week break between bottles the first time, then one bottle a quarter for maintenance. Structured and finite beats the vague forever-cleansing the category loves to sell.

One serving is 2 capsules, and each bottle holds 30 servings. Seven botanicals add up to 1,200 mg per serving, each with its dose on the label: five at 200 mg and two at 100 mg. Other ingredients: vegetable capsule and organic rice hulls. The label states that it contains tree nuts (walnut).
Coach's note: tradition is not the same as evidence. Human research on these herbs for intestinal parasites is thin, and nothing here is proven to clear an infection. That is why I treat this as an occasional gut-routine product, and why a suspected infection, with symptoms, travel or known exposure, belongs with a doctor and a stool test.
Want to read any supplement label like a skeptic? Take my 60-second label reality check. Six quick questions, then a plain-English guide to the Supplement Facts panel, proprietary blends, words like cleanse and detox, what testing does and doesn’t prove, and the return windows to know before you order.
Safety notes worth knowing: wormwood contains thujone, one reason it is used in cycles rather than nonstop, and it is not for pregnancy or seizure disorders. Pau d'arco may affect blood clotting, so ask your doctor first if you take blood thinners. And the label flags tree nuts (walnut).
Each bottle holds 30 servings (60 capsules), one month. With a LiveGood membership on Subscribe and Save it is $12.30 (48% off), about 41 cents a serving; the member price is $12.95 and retail is $23.50, about 78 cents a serving. LiveGood's own comparison lists Parabroom at $49.00 and Divine Defender at $60.00.
A month of two-capsule servings with every herb dosed on the label: vegan, sugar free, preservative free, heavy-metal and third-party tested, from an FDA-registered, GMP-certified facility. Members pay $12.95, or $12.30 on Subscribe and Save, where LiveGood lists Parabroom at $49 and Divine Defender at $60. Every order carries LiveGood's 90-day money-back guarantee.
Take two capsules with a full glass of water in the morning, ideally on an empty stomach. LiveGood's suggested protocol runs two to three consecutive months with a one-week break between bottles, then one bottle a quarter if you keep it in rotation. Honest expectations: these are potent herbs, and some users notice temporary digestive changes at first, so take it with food if your stomach is sensitive.
Skip this one entirely if you are pregnant or nursing, since wormwood is a hard no in pregnancy, or if you have a tree nut allergy. Talk with your doctor first if you take medications, especially blood thinners, or have a health condition. And to repeat the honest part: suspected actual infections go to a physician, full stop.
Coach's note: what sold me on reviewing this one at all is the label. Every herb, every milligram, disclosed. In a category built on proprietary-blend mystery and $60 fear pricing, a transparent formula at $12.95 for members is genuinely rare.
Coach's note: think of this as an occasional gut-routine product, the way some people rotate Chlorophyll Detox. It is a traditional wellness practice, honestly priced, not a medical treatment, and it should never delay a real diagnosis.
The Parasite Cleanse does not yet have published member reviews or a star rating on LiveGood's official product page, so the notes above are educational, from my coaching practice. When member reviews appear, they will be quoted here with names and dates. Individual results vary.

Get my free health report →Statistically, most people asking this question after a social media video do not, and the honest answer comes from a doctor and a stool test, not a supplement page. If you have real symptoms, recent travel to high-risk regions, or known exposure, see a physician first. This formula is traditional gut-environment support, not a diagnostic or a treatment.
Some users report a few days of temporary digestive adjustment or sluggishness early in a cleanse month, which the tradition calls die-off and a skeptic calls strong herbs meeting a sensitive gut. Either way it should be mild and brief: drink water, eat normally, and if anything feels genuinely wrong, stop and talk to your doctor rather than pushing through.
Pregnant and nursing women, full stop, because wormwood is contraindicated in pregnancy, and anyone with a tree nut allergy, since it contains walnut. Also children, anyone with liver conditions or seizure disorders, and anyone on medications, especially blood thinners, without a doctor conversation first. Potent botanicals deserve the same respect as any active compound.
With a support protocol, feeling nothing dramatic is a perfectly fine outcome, and many people run it simply as a seasonal routine. If you are unsatisfied for any reason, LiveGood's 90-day money-back guarantee, shown right in their checkout, covers the bottle. At $12.95 for members, it is one of the lowest-priced transparent formulas in the category.
