Microplastics have been detected in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. Avoidance alone is no longer a realistic strategy — the threat is everywhere, and it's unavoidable.
Synthetic fibers shed from clothing, carpet, and furniture stay suspended in the air of nearly every indoor space you spend time in.
Plastic particles have been found in municipal tap water — and at even higher concentrations in bottled water.
Packaging, processing, and the food chain itself deliver plastic particles to the plate — salt, seafood, and produce included.
Researchers keep finding plastic particles where they were never meant to be — and the published associations are hard to ignore. This is what the peer-reviewed literature reports about microplastics in human tissue.

The plastics touch your food, your water, and the air you breathe — every single day. Here's where the research keeps finding them.

Chopping on a plastic board can shed tens of thousands of microplastic particles into your food over a year of normal use.
Kitchen
Hot liquid in plastic-lined cups has been shown to release microplastic particles directly into the drink.
Daily habit
Bottled water can contain hundreds of thousands of nano- and microplastic particles per liter.
Hydration
Wrapping, containers, and cling film transfer microplastics into the foods they hold — especially when heated.
GroceriesSources reflect findings reported in peer-reviewed microplastics research about everyday exposure routes. Individual exposure varies.
Once swallowed, microplastics don't just pass straight through. Research shows some particles can cross the intestinal lining and enter the bloodstream. Microplastic Detox works in three stages: bind the particles, buffer the gut around them, and protect the barrier they would otherwise cross.*

Chitosan's positive surface charge attracts negatively charged microplastic particles in the gut, holding them within the fiber matrix during digestion so they're carried toward elimination instead of lingering.*
Active: ChitosanPrebiotic fibers — baobab and apple pectin — form a gentle fiber matrix that supports a healthy microbiome and steady transit, helping bound particles keep moving through the gut toward natural elimination.*
Active: Baobab + Apple pectinMicroplastics don't only pass through — some particles can slip between the cells of the gut wall and cross into the bloodstream. Slippery elm's soothing mucilage coats and supports the intestinal lining — the barrier those particles must cross — to support the gut's natural defenses during daily use.*

In a 2026 human study, daily chitosan supplementation was associated with a 26.3% decrease in measured blood microplastic concentration after 15 days, while the placebo group showed no significant change.
In a 2025 human crossover study, chitosan was associated with over 45% more microplastic particles measured in stool versus baseline after a standardized meal — direct evidence of increased fecal elimination.
In animal models, chitosan was associated with increased elimination of ingested microplastic particles from the gastrointestinal tract.
Chitosan is a positively charged dietary fiber that can interact with negatively charged microplastic particles during digestion, supporting their movement through normal digestive elimination.

Chitosan is a positively charged fiber. In published research, it interacts with negatively charged particles and pulls them together into a fiber matrix — the difference you can picture under the microscope.

Without binding fiber, microplastic particles disperse and stay free to move through the gut.
With chitosan fiber, the same particles are drawn together into an aggregate for easier natural clearance.

Microplastics have been detected across the whole body — so support starts where most of them enter: the gut. By binding particles before they're absorbed, Microplastic Detox is designed to support the systems that exposure touches.*

Plaque-associated particles studied for cardiovascular risk.
Fibers found deep in lung tissue.

Microplastics have been detected in these systems in published research.

Microplastic Detox is a daily supplement formulated to support the body's natural processes for managing microplastics in the digestive tract.* Its carefully selected ingredients, including dietary fibers, interact with particles during digestion to support normal elimination and digestive wellness.*
Microplastic Detox is formulated with ingredients that interact with microplastics during digestion, supporting their excretion through normal bowel movements. Its formulation is intentionally focused on the digestive tract, where everyday exposures pass through the body. This gut-based approach complements the body's existing elimination pathways and is designed for consistent, daily use.*
Yes. Microplastic Detox is formulated for daily use by most healthy adults when taken as directed on the label. It works locally in the digestive system, does not accumulate in the body, and is designed to support consistent digestive elimination.* Every ingredient is Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) for human use as designated by the FDA.
Always follow the recommended serving size. Taking more than directed does not provide additional benefit and may increase the chance of digestive discomfort.
Microplastic Detox can be a valuable supplement for anyone exposed to food, water, and air — so practically everybody. However, Microplastic Detox should not be used by individuals with shellfish or seafood allergies, or by those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 18.
No. Microplastic Detox does not contain plastic or microplastics. The capsules and ingredients are carefully selected to avoid plastic content, and the product is designed with a strong emphasis on minimizing unnecessary plastic exposure wherever possible.
