This can be referred to as “Phase 3” detoxification, in which the toxins and metabolites are actually excreted from the body usually via the intestinal tract (hence why you don’t want to be holding onto your poop. The reflex to go is one we need to listen to so we’re not reabsorbing or allow toxins to sit in our bowels).

Bile is the major elimination vehicle for cholesterol and other lipid soluble compounds, including hormones and pheromones.
Research has shown that the same transporters that carry bile acids in and out of the intestines, also carry heavy metals, mycotoxins and bacterial toxins.

This indicates that the presence and movement of bile assists the elimination of such toxins. Bile is also made up of cholesterol, which when in excess, is known to add burden to the liver and drive an array of metabolic diseases.
