Lowering PFAS Levels

Currently, we know of two ways to lower the amount of PFAS chemicals found in the blood:

1. Folic Acid

Recent studies suggest that Folic Acid may offer a protective effect against PFAS chemicals. Folic Acid (also known as Folate or Vitamin B9) and PFAS appear to compete with each other to bind with substances in the body. This may explain some of the birth defects seen when PFAS levels are higher.

2. Pregnancy

Having a baby appears to lower a woman's PFAS levels. That's the good news.

The bad news is that it's because the chemicals are pushed into the baby, probably by the kind of active transport that is also responsible for transporting vitamins (such as folic acid) and other nutrients to the baby.
