Because the primary active compounds in nutmeg (myristicin, safrole, and elemicin) are fat-soluble volatile oils, the body cannot excrete them directly. The liver must chemically transform them into water-soluble molecules so they can be filtered out by the kidneys.

What are the best methods to mitigate nutmeg poisoning?

Ideally you have some fats or fibre to slow down digestion, some pepper or grapefruit or something for the liver, but from my research I know there is more that can be done.

The goal is to give the body what it needs to process the nutmeg safely in high doses. We'd essentially be creating a potion.

Has anyone done research into this and can weigh in?
