How to Get Rid of Ethyl Glucuronide
Ethyl glucuronide is a metabolite formed in the body, primarily after the ingestion of alcohol and the related ethanol in the alcohol 2. It is used as a medical marker when testing for alcohol consumption, which is perhaps why there is intrigue regarding whether you can get it out of your system forcibly. The truth is; once the metabolite is in your bloodstream it really is a case of letting nature take its course. You can expect traces of it to remain for up to 80 days, but there are a few techniques you can try to help nature on her way a little faster.
Consider what you are eating and adjust your diet accordingly to give your body the best chance of evacuating the ethyl glucuronide at a faster rate than normal. Cabbage, broccoli, radishes, seaweed and brown rice are examples of foods rich in fiber which help flush the system.
