“Detox” is often described as a pure marketing invention. While it is true that this term allows various selling points to flourish, the detoxification process encompasses a very real set of actions carried out by the body, which is naturally competent to cleanse itself. Nevertheless, our modern environment is experiencing its biological limits.

Detoxification is a set of body reactions to certain substances, aimed at neutralizing their toxicity and eliminate them. It designates a bodily function, that is to say that it is carried out naturally, which gives rise to controversy as to the fact of advising a special diet or selling so-called detox products. The arguments that justify these practices are sometimes to point the finger a way of life that “clogs” the bodysometimes the nutritional deficiencies that limit his abilities, or even to evoke the pollutants that the body would not be able to eliminate. There are often good intentions behind all this, but no doubt we will benefit from understanding the processes involved in order to make informed choices: how does detoxification work? What does the body need? What are the real limits of his skills? What can we seriously consider?

How does the body depollute itself?

The detoxification process can occur in every cell of the body. It is a work that is coordinated between several organs and is carried out in several phases, putting into action ” membrane transporters ” and specific enzymes. The detoxification activity is more consequent in the places in which these enzymes are concentrated, as it is the case in the liver cells. This organ is the most considered in detoxification, but the role of the kidneys and intestines is essential. The skin and lungs are also significant routes of elimination. These elimination organs are also called emunctories.

What should the body get rid of?

All molecules that can affect the integrity of cells must be neutralized and eliminated:

• Those from the environment (therefore “exogenous”): plant biopesticides, air and water pollutants, heavy metals, nanoparticles, graphene oxide, pesticides, combustion gases, preservatives, food colorings and flavor enhancers, chemical molecules from polypharmacy, anesthesia , chemotherapy…
• Those produced by the body itself (“endogenous”), and which must be eliminated following having played their role: metabolic waste (urea, uric acid, lactic acid, etc.), excess acids, amines and other molecules from fermento-putrescence in the colon, hormonal metabolites, etc.

Three phases for a process

The principle is simple, its implementation complex. Complex, because the very nature of the compounds is different. Let’s keep it simple here, and say that only water-soluble (water-soluble) compounds can be eliminated (through urine, for example), and fat-soluble (fat- or oil-soluble) or lipophilic (which retain fatty substances) must be modified by chemical transformations to make them water-soluble and therefore eliminated. Who’s in charge? Liver and Intestines. How ? By an enzymatic activity in three phases. The first phase, of functionalization”, ensures the transformation, the second, called phase of ” conjugation “, prepare for elimination. Finally, a third phase will consist of the expulsion of toxins via bile and urine.

Detoxification, detoxification, detoxification…

Several terms exist to describe purification actions. There detox is rather specific to a substance: in the case of poisoning or addiction, it consists of its elimination from the body. There detoxification is the inactivation of toxic substances; and the detoxification is the set of physico-chemical and metabolic operations by which a product loses its toxicity.
