Understanding the Body’s Detoxification Processes

THE PHASES OF DETOX

Phase I – Activate

Phase I takes place mostly in the liver however it can also occur in the brain, intestines, lungs, and kidneys. In this phase, lipid-soluble toxins are activated by special enzymes like CYP450 and then temporarily transformed into intermediate substances making them more reactive.

Phase II – Conjugate

Phase II takes this intermediate, reactive toxin and conjugates or links it to a molecule like glutathione via enzymatic reactions. This phase makes the toxin water-soluble and safe for transport out of the cell and through the body. 

Phase III – Filtrate and Excretion

Healthy bile flow supports the movement of conjugated toxins through the liver and kidneys for excretion. This phase helps prevent recirculation of toxins.

Quicksilver’s Push-Catch Model of Detoxification

Improperly designed detox protocols can result in recirculation of toxins throughout the body. The ‘push catch’ model of detoxification was developed by Quicksilver Scientific® and Dr. Shade to work with the body’s natural detoxification system and encompasses all three phases of detoxification which include: activation, conjugation, filtration and binding of toxins in the GI tract. This is the foundation of all our specially curated detoxification protocols.


“PUSH” (Phase I & II): We use potent nutrients and bitter phytonutrients to help activate critical biochemical pathways like Nrf2 to ‘push’ toxins from the cell to the blood, liver and kidneys.*


“CATCH” (Phase III): Bitter compounds support healthy bile flow to move toxins through the liver and kidneys for excretion. Binding agents like charcoal and bentonite clay intercept or ‘catch’ toxins in the intestines for removal, minimizing recirculation.*
