It does this by detoxifying and rejuvenating this critical organ. There are two critical stages to the process of normal liver detoxification, known as Phase I and Phase II. In Phase I, a detoxifying agent goes into the liver and binds with toxins, releasing them from the liver and taking them into the bloodstream. Almost always, this newly bound toxic bundle is more toxic than the original toxin. This increased toxicity is known as\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ebioactivation\u003c\/em\u003e. Old toxins in their new bioactivated form re-exposures the body to these old toxins, and they will end up back in the liver again, or stored in other tissues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Your Detox Program Making You More Toxic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDuring phase II of detoxification, the bioactivated toxins, which may be highly active, are safely cleared out of the body. This, of course, is the part we all want to happen in quick and efficient order. If the phase II process is weak, faulty or absent, all we’ve done is re-poison ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMany substances can go into the liver and release old toxins into the bloodstream, but that is all they do, and as a result the person goes through an increased toxic period. The so-called cleansing crisis experienced by many people who go through various types of cleanses, is largely the result of bioactivated toxins wreaking havoc in the body. It is therefore very important that agents which boost Phase I activity also have significant effects on enhancing the Phase II clearance of the reactive intermediate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSchizandra appears to be very effective in boosting both\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhase\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eI detoxification and Phase II clearance of activated toxins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Sex Tonic for both Men and Women\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSchizandra is said to increase the “Water Qi in the Kidney.” \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIn particular, it is said to support the “water of the genital organs,” referring to the sexual fluids. \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSchizandra is said to support the production of semen.
