Human Blood Study*
CLINICALIn 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.
Microplastics are increasingly present in the modern environment. Microplastic Detox is formulated with dietary fibers and botanicals that function within the digestive tract, where everyday dietary exposures naturally pass through the body.
Its ingredients are studied for their physical interactions during digestion and for supporting the body's normal digestive and elimination processes as part of regular gut function.*
Allergen warning: Contains shellfish (crab, shrimp). Not for people with shellfish allergies.
Microplastic Detox is formulated with a focused blend of clinically studied dietary fibers and gut-supportive botanicals selected for their physical properties within the digestive tract.
Key ingredients:
Other ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, leucine, silicon dioxide, and a vegan capsule (hypromellose).
All ingredients are selected based on strict purity standards and validated supplier testing. Every batch is third-party tested for potency, purity, heavy metals, and microbial safety. Microplastic Detox contains no artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, or unnecessary fillers.
Note: If you have a shellfish allergy, do not use this product.
Each pouch of Microplastic Detox comes with a 30-day supply (60 capsules). Take 2 capsules per day.
If new to fiber-rich supplements, you may start with 1 capsule daily for the first few days to support gentle adjustment.

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 increased fecal elimination of microplastic particles after a standardized meal.
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's positive surface charge interacts with negatively charged microplastic particles in the gastrointestinal tract, supporting their interaction with the fiber matrix during digestion.*
Active: ChitosanPrebiotic fibers — baobab and apple pectin — are included alongside chitosan to support a healthy microbiome environment and a gentle fiber matrix during daily use.*
Active: Baobab + Apple pectinThe fiber matrix is designed to support the body's normal elimination pathways, so bound particles can leave the body through normal digestion rather than remaining in the gut.*
Active: Full fiber matrixBind. Buffer. Protect. Three stages, one daily serving — built around clinically studied chitosan.

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.
