Product Information

The presence of pesticides in human tissue samples is ubiquitous, with nearly all individuals tested in numerous studies registering measurable levels of some type of pesticide. Pesticide exposure is primarily neurotoxic, but it can also significantly affect the immune and endocrine systems. In fact, no organ system in the body can wholly escape the effects of pesticides.

Thorne Research's Pesticide Protector is specifically formulated to help the body detoxify chlorinated pesticides, organophosphates, carbamates, and pyrethrins.* Individuals who may benefit from supplementation with Pesticide Protector include those with current exposure (for example, from lawn and garden chemicals, spraying of buildings, travel through major agricultural areas), individuals with chronic health problems and a history of past exposure, and chemically sensitive individuals (who often have detectable pesticide residues in their serum).* Because pesticides are neurotoxins, alpha-lipoic acid is included as a potent neuroprotective antioxidant.* Vitamin E helps prevent oxidative damage caused by organophosphates and carbamates.* Both thiamine (vitamin B1) and vitamin A can be depleted by chlorinated pesticides.
