Phase II detoxification

Phase II detoxification is a process in the body that helps eliminate harmful substances by attaching them to other molecules to make them water-soluble. This modification allows these substances to be excreted easily through urine or bile. It involves various chemical reactions where compounds like glutathione, sulfate, or amino acids bond with toxins, neutralizing their harmful effects. This phase is essential for protecting the body from potential damage caused by chemicals, pollution, or metabolic waste, working alongside Phase I to efficiently detoxify and remove potentially dangerous substances.
