Sulfation

Sulfation is a natural process in the body where a chemical group called sulfate attaches to molecules like hormones and toxins, helping to make them more water-soluble. This modification allows the body to efficiently eliminate waste and regulate certain functions. Sulfation occurs mainly in the liver and is a critical part of detoxification and maintaining metabolic balance. When sulfation is impaired, it can lead to the buildup of toxins and affect overall health. Proper sulfation depends on the availability of sulfate and functioning enzymes, making it an essential process for healthy bodily functions.
