Metabolic Detoxification, What Is It?

In a modern, industrialized world, we are subject daily to innumerable toxins and chemical elements naturally occurring in our environments. Some we can avoid and some we can't. The liver works to filter out the toxins we are exposed to on a daily basis; many will pass out of the body as waste. However, other toxins of a fat-soluble nature will continue to reside within the body. These toxins can cause anything from fatigue, to weight loss resistance, to decreased immunity, and disease.

Life in our world means our bodies are bombarded with endless environmental threats. This is also known as your personal chemical burden, or the amount of chemicals affecting your body. In order to ensure that the body's vital systems are functioning properly, the body must be supported to rid itself of illness-causing chemicals. Thus detoxification support is a vital component of a therapeutic lifestyle program.

The Phases of Detoxification

The liver is the body's main detoxifying organ and it does a good job of this. The process of natural detoxification involves three main phases functionalization, conjugation and antiporter activity. At each stage, the liver is releasing enzymes that will break down the toxins, convert them to a water soluble form and prepare them to be released from the body.

The body was not designed to handle the heavy chemical load that confronts us in today's society. That's why support for the body's natural detoxification process is so vital, and unfortunately, trendy juice fasts can't provide the enzyme support that the liver really needs in order to completely rid the body of harmful chemicals.

Products like UltraClear RENEW by Metagenics support these vital liver functions at every stage of the process, enhancing the liver's natural detoxifying process and supporting this vital organ to function at maximum efficiency. When toxins, heavy metals and other chemicals are effectively removed from the body, you experience your best personal health and wellness.
