Microplastics Detox Kit
This kit is designed to improve the body’s detoxification mechanisms specific to the toxicity induced by microplastics and nanoplastics. Microplastic contamination and heavy metal contamination go hand-in-hand, and studies have shown that the microplastics serve as a vector for heavy metals. According to research, particles from polyethylene (shopping bags) and polyethylene terephthalate (plastic water bottles) bind to metals including chromium, iron, bismuth, beryllium, indium, tin and rare-earth elements. In one study, it only took one hour for the metals to attach, and the smaller the particle, the more metal accumulation occurred (Chen et al., 2024). For this reason, this kit includes heavy metal cleansing ingredients that will also target microplastic accumulation in tissues and damage caused by the endocrine disrupting effects of plastic in our bodies and environment.*
Key Ingredients and Benefits
Heavy Metal Gone: Helps removes microplastic complexes formed with heavy metals. Aluminum and other heavy metals easily attach to microplastics which carry them throughout the environment (Gao et al., 2021).
Chlorophyll: Chlorophyll has been found to help the body detoxify BPA and other estrogenic compounds in plastic (Martins et al., 2023). It has also been shown to support metabolic functions and enhance immune responses, which are crucial for maintaining hormonal balance.* Phytochemicals, including chlorophyll, can regulate reproductive hormones and menstrual cycles, potentially improving female reproductive health. Chlorophyll exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects, which may mitigate oxidative stress linked to the estrogen disruption caused by microplastics.
N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC): Microplastics are known to cause a variety of toxic effects, and NAC helps the body resist all of them.* One recent discovery was that nanoplastic has been found to promote the kinetic aggregation of amyloid beta plaques implicated in Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases (Liang, et al., 2024).
Turmeric: Turmeric has been found in studies to restore damage from micro- and nanoplastics through multiple mechanisms.* Studies have found that microplastics result in toxic damage to the immune system, brain, thyroid, liver, lungs, GI tract, and endocrine system, but that curcumin in turmeric was associated with the restoration of all oxidative damage induced by microplastics (Mashayekhi-Sardoo, et al, 2024).
