Study Finds Widespread Microplastics in Reproductive Fluids, What It Means for Fertility

7 minutes

Microplastics have been detected in both male and female reproductive fluids, confirming that these synthetic particles are reaching the most sensitive areas of the human body
Researchers found nine different types of microplastics, including materials from clothing fibers, cookware, packaging, and household products
These particles enter your body through the air you breathe, the water you drink, the food you eat, and skin contact, making exposure nearly unavoidable without targeted changes
Certain natural binders, probiotics, and liver-support compounds are being studied for their ability to trap and remove microplastics before they cause further harm
