Amino Acids

Amino acid conjugation enables the body to eliminate toxic metabolites generated during detoxification. Amino acids are used in phase two of liver detoxification to conjugate toxic metabolites. New cells are assembled from amino acids derived from consumed protein. Essential amino acids are the reason protein is required during Phase 2. The article asserts that DNA directs cell construction through structures made up of amino acids. Amino acids are produced when dietary protein is broken down during digestion. Amino acids are fundamental building blocks for constructing new cells throughout the body.
