Detoxification pathways

Detoxification pathways are the body's natural processes for removing toxins and harmful substances. Primarily occurring in the liver, these pathways convert toxins into less harmful compounds, which are then excreted through urine, bile, or sweat. The main pathways include Phase I, where enzymes modify toxins, and Phase II, where these modified substances are conjugated with molecules to make them water-soluble. This allows for easier elimination from the body. Proper nutrition, hydration, and a healthy lifestyle support these pathways, helping to enhance the body’s ability to detoxify effectively.
