Description
How Alcohol Detox Works
Consumption of ethyl alcohol leads to the body (primarily the liver) producing large amounts of acetaldehyde and reactive oxygen species. As a result of this metabolism, excess amounts of NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide plus hydrogen) can also result, which increases acidity in the body and may contribute to fatty liver, cardiovascular complications, and weight gain. Thus, it is essential to provide the body with the necessary nutrients to support alcohol metabolism. The liver is a vital organ involved in removing alcohol metabolites from the body; its primary job is to filter the blood coming from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract before passing it to the rest of the body. Not only does the liver inactivate or remove toxins that are ingested, but it extracts residues and metabolic waste material from the blood so that they can be excreted by
the intestines or kidneys (either via urine or bowel movements). Research has demonstrated that essential micronutrients and metabolic cofactors found in Alcohol Detox, such as the B vitamin family, L-cysteine, and alpha-lipoic acid work to support healthy liver function, which
contains the majority of enzymes that assist in alcohol metabolism. These nutrients are also crucial for healthy immune function as excessive alcohol in the body can contribute to oxidative stress.
Alcohol Detox Supplementation
Given the importance of proper liver function, as well as other organs that help metabolize alcohol, alcohol consumers stand to benefit from Alcohol Detox in a variety of ways.
Below are some of the most pertinent research-backed benefits derived from Alcohol Detox:
• Provides essential cofactors and micronutrients to support alcohol metabolism
• Supports healthy liver function
• Supports immune function
The U.S. National Library of Medicine defines toxins as substances created by plants and
animals that are poisonous to humans; alcohol is one such substance, especially when consumed frequently or in large amounts.
Over time, excessive alcohol consumption can be detrimental to health and longevity as it is stressful to the liver (and rest of the body). Therefore, maintaining proper liver function (and function of organs that detoxify the body) is imperative for eliminating alcohol metabolites. Read on to learn how the select ingredients in Alcohol Detox help do just that.
