Microplastics Panel: Assessing Environmental Risks to Your Health
What Are Microplastics?
Microplastics are small pieces of plastic that are harmful to human health and the environment. Plastic bottles, plastic items, resin pellets used for plastic manufacturing, and microbeads used in health and beauty products all break down and become microplastics. These microplastics can be found in the soil, air, tap water, bottled water, well water, lakes, oceans, and heavily in food and beverages. Microplastics are toxic to humans through a variety of mechanisms including inflammation, oxidative stress, DNA damage, organ dysfunction, metabolic disorders, immune suppression, neurotoxicity, and reproductive and developmental toxicity.

MDLifespan has partnered with PlasticTox to bring you a groundbreaking microplastics blood test. This at-home kit detects and analyzes microplastic particles in the bloodstream, providing data on:
- Concentration Levels: Measures the number of microplastic particles present.
- Particle Size: Identifies the size of the particles to understand their impact.
