Anthocyanins Protect Against Microplastics

A very real concern of modern medicine is the damage that microplastics can do to the reproductive systems of men and women. These compounds are everywhere in the environment and in our bodies. One of the most common sources of exposure is consuming water from plastic bottles. Microplastics can impair fertility and harm pregnancy and may put the development of the fetus at risk.

A recent study found that anthocyanins, the coloring pigments in fruits and vegetables have the ability to protect the reproductive organs from damage by microplastics. The benefit of the anthocyanins appears to result from their beneficial interaction with male and female hormone receptors within the body. The anthocyanins discussed in this research paper are those found in berries such as those found in NeoLife Tre. Anthocyanins protect the body from inflammation and oxidative damage which appears to be the pathway by which microplastics do their damage.
