Amino acid conjugation

Amino acid conjugation is a process in the body where specific amino acids react with waste substances or drugs to form new compounds. This helps the body eliminate these substances more effectively, often via urine. Think of it as the body attaching a "tag" made of amino acids to waste, making it easier to excrete. This process is important for detoxification and balancing chemical levels, especially in the liver, ensuring harmful substances are safely removed from your system.
