Flavin-containing monooxygenases

Flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMOs) are specialized enzymes in your body that help process and eliminate certain drugs, toxins, and other foreign substances. They use a molecule called flavin to add oxygen to these substances, making them easier for the body to remove. FMOs are found in organs like the liver and contribute to detoxification, helping protect your body from potentially harmful chemicals. They work alongside other enzymes to ensure substances are safely broken down and cleared, maintaining your overall health and proper chemical balance.
