Glyphosate urine test

Glyphosate urine test

Glyphosate is the best-selling herbicide in the world. It is mainly used to control weeds in agriculture.

According to studies, glyphosate exposure in humans is alarmingly high. In one study, 79% of participants had exposure above the maximum residue limit for pesticides in groundwater. The results show that a large proportion of the population is contaminated with glyphosate.

The use of glyphosate and the associated residues in food, soil and water should not be underestimated.

The broad-spectrum herbicide glyphosate inhibits the so-called shikimate metabolic pathway in plants, which means that the plants can no longer produce essential amino acids and thus stop growing and die.

Glyphosate can also have a negative impact on humans. It has an antibiotic effect and spreads to the intestinal flora (intestinal microbiome). Sensitivity to glyphosate leads to a decrease in protective bacteria in the intestine (lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, Enterococcus faecalis) and, as a result, to a deteriorated defense against pathogenic germs, especially against clostridia and salmonella.

The intake of glyphosate can therefore lead to a disruption of the intestinal flora, which can cause diseases such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, colon cancer, calcium oxalate urinary stones, cardiovascular diseases, rheumatoid arthritis or neurological disorders.

The urine analysis reflects the excretion of the broad-spectrum herbicide glyphosate. To determine your glyphosate exposure, take a urine sample quickly and easily at home. Our partner laboratory will check the level after sending it in. You will receive the test result with an overall assessment within just a few days.
