Detoxification involves the removal of toxic substances from the body. Detoxification occurs mainly in the liver, but the kidneys, gastrointestinal tract and skin are also important when it comes to clearing toxins from the body. Unfortunately, detoxification has also become synonymous with cleansing - a term loosely used to describe all sorts of treatments aimed at purifying or purging the body. Many such treatments are unproven, make little sense physiologically, and can even be dangerous. True detoxification begins at the cellular levels, and involves enhancing the body's natural mechanisms for eliminating toxins and harmful substances. Many natural compounds have been shown to support this process.
The Benefits of Sulforaphane
Numerous studies have shown that the consumption of large quantities of fruits and vegetables, particularly leafy green vegetables, as a part of a healthy diet, is associated with a reduced incidence of cancer. High intakes of these vegetables, called cruciferous vegetables, have been associated with lower risk of lung and colorectal cancer in epidemiological studies. Research has indicated that the cancer preventative action of these vegetables is linked to their high content of compounds called isothiocyanates. One such isothiocyanate is Sulforaphane glucosinolate. This natural compound found in broccoli sprouts that has been shown to inhibit tumor formation and support healthy detoxification. Sulforaphane extracts have several benefits for cancer patients. These include:
Sulforaphane is a potent inducer of phase II detoxification enzymes, which are the enzymes in the liver responsible for the detoxification of toxins and carcinogens. Enhanced Phase II detoxification greatly assists the body in reducing the overall toxic burden as well as affording substantial other health benefits in immune function, heart health, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects.
Perhaps the most widely studied aspect of sulforaphane is its potential as an anti-cancer agent. This has been examined in a number of different species and tissues, including prostate, skin, colon, breast, uterine, ovarian, bladder, and the pancreas. Sulforaphane's anti-cancer effect is attributed to a number of mechanisms including the stimulation of phase II detoxification enzymes, normal apoptosis (cell suicide), cell cycle arrest in cancer cells (preventing replication), reduction of the spread of tumours (metastases) and the inhibition of blood supply to cancer cells (angiogenesis).
Sulforaphane also has powerful antioxidant effects, and can help reduce oxidative stress in the body. It has also been shown to reduce inflammation, support cardiovascular health, reduce blood pressure and lessen allergy symptoms.
D-Glucarate
D-glucarate is a naturally occurring compound that plays a very important role in the detoxification of toxins and carcinogens. One very important detoxification pathway in the body is the glucuronidation pathway. Through glucuronidation toxic substances, environmental carcinogens and even excess levels of some hormones are neutralized, and then eliminated from the body. This important detoxification process can be disrupted by the enzyme beta-glucuronidase, which acts to reactivate the neutralized toxins. Impaired glucuronidation has been linked to susceptibility to many cancers and other diseases in humans and in other species. Human research reveals links between toxic environments, glucuronidation, and beta-glucuronidase; and also between glucuronidation, beta-glucuronidase activity, and cancer and other diseases.
The primary action of D-glucarate is to inhibit the enzyme beta-glucuronidase, thereby promoting detoxification and allowing toxins to be effectively neutralized and eliminated from the body before they can do significant damage. Research has shown that D-glucarate can inhibit breast cancer development in mice by as much as 70% and has been shown to protect animals against other cancers, such as those of the colon, the lung, the skin, and the liver. Preliminary studies in humans show that D-Glucarate supplements are safe, and that they have the same effects on beta-glucuronidase in people that they do in animals.
Bifidobacterium longum (BB-536)
This highly beneficial probiotic strain has been shown to help promote carcinogen detoxification and to help prevent certain types of cancers. Evidence has shown that this bacteria acts to enhance the immune system, suppress the growth of harmful bacteria that secrete toxic substances, bind and eliminate toxic substances and potential carcinogens and secrete anti-tumor compounds. Many probiotics have been shown to reduce beta- glucuronidase activity in the colon, thereby preventing the reactivation of dangerous compounds.
In one study rats were exposed to toxic heterocyclic amines. Heterocyclic amines are compounds formed when meat is broiled or charred. These compounds are readily present in the human diet and have been shown to induce tumor formation in rats. The study found that rats supplemented with BB-536 showed dramatically reduced tumor formation in the colon, small intestine and liver. Further studies suggest that BB-536 actually binds to heterocyclic amines, and also works through other indirect methods to prevent these compounds from causing DNA damage in the colon.
