Introduction: The PFAS Challenge and a Natural Solution

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often dubbed “forever chemicals,” are persistent environmental contaminants found worldwide in water, food, and consumer products. Their resistance to degradation and potential health risks—including immune dysfunction and cancer—make effective removal from the human body a critical public health goal.

Emerging research highlights a common dietary fiber supplement as a promising agent to facilitate the clearance of PFAS toxins from the body, potentially offering a simple, accessible means of detoxification for affected populations.

How Dietary Fiber Supplement May Remove PFAS Chemicals

A recent study, reported by Earth.com, reveals that supplements like inulin can bind PFAS molecules in the digestive system, preventing their reabsorption and helping expel them through feces. This finding has significant implications for reducing the body burden of these contaminants.

Such a dietary fiber works by enhancing gut microbiota and promoting regular bowel movements, critical pathways for chemical elimination. With PFAS chemicals notorious for accumulating in tissues, this natural intervention is a promising step forward.
