Microplastics: The Invisible Toxins in Your Body

Microplastics

Did you know that in 1950, the world produced around 2 million tons of plastic per year, and today we produce over 450 million tons? That’s staggering — and unfortunately, a significant amount is ending up in our bodies.

Plastics don’t simply disappear. Sunlight, heat, friction, and wear-and-tear break them down into microplastics — tiny fragments now detected in oceans, soils, animals, drinking water, and even in humans. Research estimates that the average person ingests around 2,000 plastic particles per week, roughly the weight of a credit card.

How Microplastics Enter Your Body

There are three main pathways: ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact.

1️⃣ Ingestion

• Food packaged in plastic or grown in contaminated soil

• Bottled water, non-stick cookware, and plastic cutlery

• Seafood contaminated by microplastics in their environment

2️⃣ Inhalation

• Fibers from synthetic clothing, rugs, or cleaning rags

• Airborne microplastics from urban pollution, agricultural dust, or ocean spray

3️⃣ Skin Contact

• Cosmetics or skincare products containing microplastics

• Clothing and textiles made from synthetic fibers

Even with careful habits, total avoidance is impossible, making it critical to support your body’s natural detoxification systems.

Supporting Your Body’s Natural Defenses

Sulforaphane & ReLive Greens

ReLive Greens Certain foods, like broccoli sprouts, spirulina, and chlorella, contain sulforaphanes, compounds that activate the NRF2 detox pathway. While this doesn’t directly remove microplastic particles, it makes toxins like BPA, BPS, and phthalates more water-soluble, allowing them to be flushed out more efficiently with proper hydration.

Clean Slate

Clean Slate This supplement contains active minerals that bind toxins in the digestive tract, potentially reducing the absorption of microplastics into the bloodstream.

Sauna & Sweating

Regular sweating is one of the body’s most effective natural detox pathways. Using a sauna or sauna blanket, while drinking clean water, can help mobilize toxins associated with microplastics and nanoplastics.

Liver Support with Clean Spirits

Clean Spirits Your liver is the #1 organ for clearing toxins, including microplastics. Glutathione is essential for liver detoxification, and supplements like Clean Spirits can boost its production, helping the liver handle oxidative stress caused by these invisible pollutants.

💡We can’t avoid microplastics entirely — but we can reduce exposure, support detox pathways, and give our bodies the tools to flush them out. By combining smarter food choices, proper hydration, sauna use, and targeted supplements, it’s possible to fight back against this hidden, modern toxin.
