Cartilage and Chondroitin Can Be Helpful In Detox, but at a price……
FRT requires that you deal with the acid/base balance and the other four common denominators of health before tackling the sixth of these events, oxidative stress. Where oxidative stress is due to a fat-soluble toxin, proper regulation of the CyP450 is required. To satisfy Phase II of biotransformation, cartilage and chondroitin can become the source of glucuronidation. If the body chooses to derive its glucuronidation through this route you are in the midst of connective tissue breakdown, which is the fifth of our common denominators of health. Cartilage and chondroitin sulfate contain uronic acid residues that are linked to D-glucosamine. Heparin, a natural component of connective tissue, is similarly constructed. As the body disassembles itself (a common event when protein status is inadequate) oxidation of circulating glucose with uronic acid results in the glucuronic acid that is required for the conjugation seen in the Phase II of the biotransformation of fat-soluble toxins to a water-soluble forms, which can be excreted through the urine or gut. So, FRT helps you avoid making your source of glucuronidation your healthy joints. You would otherwise expect joint pain, where (yes), you could reach for chondroitin sulfate, and likely get some relief. Yet, through FRT you get at the broader cause while you avoid becoming another statistic of potential product contamination.
