Healthology Liv-Great Liver Detox

There are two phases of liver detoxification, and each requires vitamins, proteins, and minerals to work effectively. In Phase 1, enzymes called Cytochromes add an oxygen molecule to the toxin, which prepares it to enter Phase 2. This process is called oxidation, and it actually makes the toxin more harmful to the body. It's a "take one step back to take two steps forward" type of process. In Phase 2, we deactivate the toxin through a process called conjugation. This neutralizes the toxin so that it can be excreted safely by the colon or bladder.

In some people, one phase or both phases of liver detoxification are sluggish. This is especially harmful when Phase 1 is working more quickly than Phase 2 because we get a build-up of oxidized toxins that are harmful to the body. Sluggish liver detoxification can be caused by genetic deficiencies, nutrients missing from the diet, or a high toxic burden from alcohol, medication use, or exposures to toxins in the environment.ronment.

Most of us are bombarded with more toxins than we realize. Think about how many toxins your liver deals with solely from your morning routine:

• Shampoo
• Shaving cream
• Face wash
• Moisturizers
• Toothpaste
• Deodorant

Each one of these products absorbs through the skin and has to be detoxed.

Then you drink a coffee (caffeine) and have a bowl of cereal (food additive), adding even more work to the liver’s busy morning. Your liver is already overwhelmed before you have even left the house!
