Best Answer

It dilutes the sample.

And the reason it dilutes the sample is, you're supposed to drink like a gallon of water with it...don'tcha think the water is what's actually doing it?

The only way that's going to actually work, though, is if the test is one of those "dip stick" things. If they put your pee in a machine and run the adulterants test, it's going to notice that you've got WAY too much water in your urine and flag you for a diluted sample. In most cases, that's a test failure right there.

Yes and here's why Sure-Jell, Pectin, and Certa all contain soluble fiber. In fact one could use any kind of soluble fiber. Metamucil and other related soluble fiber laxatives should also be effective. Clover actually uses a soluble fiber product that contains corn dextrin for health purposes, not for passing drug tests, but such a product should also work. Eating a lot of oats may also contribute as oats have more soluble fiber than most other grains.

Your liver (hepatic/feces) and kidneys (renal/urine) contribute to the elimination of most drugs in the form of metabolites. Bile acids (from the liver) contribute to elimination through the feces. While the metabolite is being stored in the intestine or in the bladder (or nephrons of the kidney) it is not simply stuck there. The metabolite can be reabsorbed back into the body and often is.

Soluble fiber prevents the drug metabolite (specifically a cannabinoid metabolite or other lipid-soluble drug) from being reabsorbed back into the body from the intestine. Soluble fiber displaces the micelles (shells) formed by bile acids around the drug metabolite. At the same time soluble fiber also prevents the bile acids from being reabsorbed, causing them to be pulled from the body. Your body then needs to replace those bile acids and it uses up cholesterol from the blood to do this. All of this contributes to more THC metabolites being released into the blood from storage and will contribute to increased rate of clearance. For a short time however the levels of THC metabolites in the blood and urine drop. It's during this window that one can create a false negative for a urine dipstick test and pass a drug test for marijuana.

As I said, any soluble fiber may be used. The powdered forms of those fiber supplements may be more effective as one is likely to have better control over how much fiber is being consumed, making it easier to consume lots of fiber.

Also note that the use of soluble fiber is not only effective for passing a drug test acutely, but will also help during periods of detox to clean the system. Therefore, if one knows a drug test is coming up using soluble fiber daily up to the day of the test will also be beneficial.

- Stop using marijuana or other cannabinoid being tested.

- As soon as one learns of a drug test for marijuana or other cannabinoids get some soluble fiber and begin using it daily. Clover would probably use a powdered fiber supplement for ease of use, just follow the instructions. Be sure to use plenty of water with the soluble fiber as too little water can cause choking or problems swallowing the liquid.

- The night before the test don't eat too much. Especially limit complex carbohydrates (no pasta).

- The day of the test take twice the amount of soluble fiber one has been taking about 2-3 hours before the test. Void the bladder (urinate) after taking the soluble fiber. Drink plenty of water with the fiber, but don't overdo it. There's no reason to force yourself to drink gallons and gallons of water. Urine that is too dilute may make the test invalid which is the same as a failed test.

- If possible take the middle of the stream of urine. Urinate into the toilet a little, then slip the cup under the stream. Remove the cup just before you finish urinating.

** Do note that the increase in fiber is likely to cause an increase in bowel movements.

Certo is a product called pectin. They sell it at grocery stores to people who make their own jelly--this is the stuff that makes jelly set up. If you drink it, it's a diuretic--a drug that increases your urinary output.

The problem with using it for what you want to use it for, is it also causes your body to dump more drug residue into your urine--which makes it more, not less, likely you're gonna get busted.
