But what are toxins? Where do they come from? Is it possible to avoid exposure?

These include extracting energy from foods, affecting the immune and gastrointestinal systems, and synthesizing vitamins and hormones. Moreover, the gut microbiome connects the all-important gut-brain axis, which raises the intriguing possibility that the microbiome influences feelings, moods, and cognition. Finally, the gut microbiome may help explain body weight changes and status. n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n Although it’s still not clear precisely what a “healthy” gut microbiome is, studies in healthy older adults suggest compositional diversity and richness of speciesn n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n ,n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n along with an increased abundance of certain probiotic bacteria compared to potentially harmful bacterian n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n ,n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n are important characteristics for overall welln n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n –n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n being.

This extract is rich in a molecule called glucoraphanin. However, glucoraphanin itself is not what provides the extract with unmatchable detoxification benefits against age-promoting toxins and oxidative stress; rather, that benefit lies in the transformation of glucoraphanin to sulforaphane. Sulforaphane is a slightly pungent, unstable molecule and perhaps the most potent dietary activator of our n n n n n </span> n <a href=”https://isagenixhealth.net/how-your-body-detoxifies-itself-naturally/”> n <span> n n n n n detoxification processesn n n n n </span> n </a> n <span> n n n n n (3,4). n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n Unfortunately, the transformation of glucoraphanin to sulforaphane requires abundant consumption of raw broccoli or the presence of a diverse gut microbiome rich in bacteria that facilitates this conversion (5,6). Indeed, recent studies have addressed the interindividual variability and modifying effect of the gut microbiome on this transformation. Although still in its infancy, this research suggests that a diverse and abundantly rich microbiome may enhance the production of sulforaphane and its detoxification prowess in detoxification.n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<h4 style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px; margin-block-start:1em; margin-block-end:1em;”> n n n Setting the Stage for a Healthy Microbiome nn n</h4> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n Referencesn n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <a href=”http://4cau4jsaler1zglkq3wnmje1-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Gut_Microbiota_rev1029.pdf”> n <span> n n n n n Gut_Microbiota_rev1029.pdf (netdna-ssl.com)n n n n n </span> n </a> n <span> n n n n n .
