    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.

      A user successfully halted hair loss using finasteride for 17 years and recently switched to dutasteride for stronger DHT suppression. They experienced no major side effects, maintained a full head of hair, and fathered three children without issues.
