glucuronidation

Glucuronidation is a natural process in the body where specific enzymes attach a molecule called glucuronic acid to substances like drugs, toxins, or waste products. This modification makes these substances more water-soluble, allowing the body to more easily eliminate them through urine or bile. Essentially, glucuronidation helps detoxify and remove potentially harmful compounds, playing a critical role in maintaining health and clearing substances that the body no longer needs.
