CYP1A2

CYP1A2 is an enzyme found mainly in the liver that helps your body process certain medications, toxins, and chemicals from foods like coffee and grilled meats. It plays a crucial role in breaking down substances to eliminate them from your system. Your levels of CYP1A2 can vary based on genetics, lifestyle, and exposure to certain substances, influencing how quickly you metabolize these compounds. This can affect how well medications work or how your body responds to certain chemicals, making CYP1A2 an important factor in drug effectiveness and safety.
