body adds molecules to drugs/toxins for easier excretion

Phase II metabolism, also known as conjugation reactions, is a process where the body adds a molecule to a drug or toxin to make it more water-soluble and easier to excrete. This phase typically follows Phase I metabolism, which involves the modification of the substance. By making these compounds more water-soluble, the body can more efficiently eliminate them through urine or bile, reducing their potential toxicity.
