Chemicals as Endocrine Disruptors
In
our modern, industrialized world, our body is under constant assault.
Leading the charge are chemicals known as endocrine disruptors, or EDCs.
These hormone-disrupting toxins are in everything from food packaging,
personal care products to clothing baby mattresses and carpeting.
They’re in the water you drink and the air you breathe and getting worse each day.
The sheer number of products polluted with EDCs has increased each
year. The Environmental Protection Agency confirms there are more than
10,000 different kinds of hormone-disrupting chemicals in the world!
These chemicals are already known to cause significant damage to your
health, including Type 2 diabetes… Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s… heart
disease and stroke… reproductive disorders and loss of sex drive…
cancer… obesity… and thyroid disease.
Research now shows the body’s supply of vitamin D is crucial for our
health. Vitamin D isn’t just a vitamin, it's actually a hormone, just
like estrogen and testosterone. It is no surprise to see new studies
showing that EDCs also disrupt our vitamin D levels and effectiveness,
which is disastrous to our overall health and hormone balance.
How EDCs Block Vitamin D In Our Body
In a study recently published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism,
researchers examined data from 4,667 adults in the National Health and
Nutrition Examination Survey. They measured blood levels of vitamin D.
They also measured urine levels of various kinds of EDCs. The study
demonstrated that those who had the highest exposure to these chemicals
were far more likely to have much lower levels of vitamin D.
In summary, exposure to endocrine disruptors has been linked to lower
vitamin D levels in the bloodstream. Research shows that EDCs can:
Disrupt vitamin D receptors. These receptors are essential for allowing vitamin D to attach to your cells and do its job.
- Compete with calcitriol – the active form of vitamin D – on receptor sites, reducing the effectiveness of vitamin D.
- Interfere with the way your body uses calcium, leading to impaired bone mineralization.
- Stop the gut from absorbing vitamin D from food.
- Block the absorption of vitamin D in the intestines.
This
EDC Exposure has been called a 21st-century plague. Low vitamin D has
been linked to asthma, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure,
depression, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, and
coronary artery disease.
In the largest studies done to evaluate the relationship between vitamin
D and heart disease, researchers found that those with the lowest
vitamin D levels were 32% more likely to develop coronary artery disease
than those with normal levels.
A recent study shows that vitamin D binds directly to your DNA and
triggers a gene that stops inflammation. Inflammation is involved in all
the chronic diseases of today.
Protect Yourself from Damaging Endocrine Disruptors
We
can’t avoid all of the exposure to hormone-disrupting chemicals we get
exposed to daily. But we can help our body break them down and remove
them.
1. Get more glutathione in Essential Glutathione. This powerful antioxidant helps your liver detox and neutralize damaging EDCs.
Foods rich in sulfur, like garlic and onions, can help increase
glutathione production in the body. Vegetables like broccoli, Brussels
sprouts, and kale contain the compounds indole-3-carbinol and
sulforaphane, which boost glutathione synthesis. Glutathione is also
found in rare grass-fed beef and unpasteurized dairy products.
It’s hard to get enough from diet alone. Utilize Dr. Harris' Essential Glutathione which solves the absorption problem.
2. Utilize DIM (Diindolylmethane) found in NADH+DIM:
DIM is 100% natural. It’s formed in the body during the digestion of
cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and Brussels sprouts. It helps your
body break down and excrete endocrine disruptors into more favorable,
less harmful forms. Adding NADH to Dim gives you double the
effectiveness.
NADH, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) + hydrogen (H), is a crucial coenzyme found in all living cells. It plays a significant role in energy production by helping convert nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency of the cell. NADH is involved in cellular respiration,
influencing metabolic health and oxidative stress. It acts as an
electron carrier in various biochemical reactions, facilitating the
transfer of energy within cells.
OHS also has Opti-Metals Detox and Opti-Enviro Detox to help in Detoxification of harmful metals and environmental chemicals.

Chemzyme was developed to release micro plastics in the body but also helps in release of overall harmful chemicals.
Please use these all natural OHS whole food nutraceuticals to balance
out the many chemicals and microplastic toxins thar are robbing our
Health and Wellness.
