More Benzene Detox Info

You'll likely do this but look into the specific pathways of detox in the liver and then you can also see how to ramp up those pathways with specific nutrients.

In the case of benzene and related compounds it's biotransformation is done in two phases Oxidation is the first phase (phase one). Sulfation (sulfate conjugation)is the second phase (phase 2).

To support this phase naturally, one can turn to the following...


bean sprouts
beans of all types
*broccoli
brussel sprouts
cabbage
cauliflower
collard greens
lentils
onions
peas
radishes
rutabaga
*sauerkraut
split peas
turnip greens
turnips

Phenolic compounds and foods should be avoided during a benzene detox as to not over tax these pathways to get maximum effect.

Here is an excellent resource for anyone wanting to have a better understanding of how our body (liver) detoxifies various compounds.
