Nutrients that Support Phase II
Detoxification Pathways
During phase II detoxification, activated substances from phase I, which are known as
intermediates are conjugated and altered further before expulsion from the body.
Six different major biochemical reactions occur in this phase, known as:
Glutathione conjugation
Amino acid conjugation
Methylation
Sulfation
Acetylation
Glucuronidation
Each of these reactions works on specific types of intermediates and needs specific
nutrients in order to proceed to successful completion.
The nutrients required for phase II fall into two categories. The first are the amino acids,
which donate molecules that are attached to phase I intermediates. These include the sulfur
donors, among which are the amino acids methionine, taurine, cysteine, and Nacetylcysteine. Other, non-sulfur-containing amino acids are also required: glycine, taurine,
glutamine, ornithine, and arginine.
