Detox
The ability to detoxify is a major determinant of a person's level of health. Toxins produced by bacteria and yeast in the gut can be absorbed, causing a significant disruption of body functions. The liver’s detoxification mechanism includes: filtration of the blood, formation of bile, phase I detoxification reactions and phase II detoxification reactions. Glutathione is an important detoxification compound. Vitamin C supplementation is the most cost-effective method of raising glutathione levels. Taking silymarin, the flavonoid complex from milk thistle, is a well-researched way to improve liver function.
