Speaker: Sulfur is the fourth most common mineral in the human body. It's used for many things, importantly for detoxification, for maintaining the gut lining, synthesis of brain tissue and neurotransmitter metabolism. Among other things, impairments in sulfation can lead to diminished detoxification.
Speaker: That alone can cause a lot of health problems. Of course, because if you cannot detoxify heavy metals, for example, they tend to build up in the body and this can lead to damage, oxidative stress, and many other issues, right? Now, there are various reasons that exist for impairments in salvation. It could be poor absorption of sulfate in the gut. This could be caused by leaky gut, inflammation, just general gut dysfunction.
Speaker: excess loss of sulfate in the urine, poor recycling of sulfate, certain nutrient deficiencies can contribute to it, oxidative stress and inflammation. Again, they have many wide -ranging negative effects in the body. This is one of them. The presence of certain bacteria such as the sulfovibrio, they can also cause an impairment in sulfation, and even chemical toxicity can contribute to it.
Speaker: So in a later module, I will talk to you a little bit about some strategies to replenish sulfate in your child's body.
