New supplement could bind and expel microplastics from the human body

A New Scientist article describes a supplement that binds to microplastic particles. The supplement is designed to attach to ingested microplastics. Researchers suggest it could help the body remove these particles. If effective, the approach may lower internal microplastic exposure. The concept is presented as a potential oral treatment. The article notes that further study is required to confirm safety. Success could provide a novel way to mitigate microplastic health risks. Future work will determine its practicality for widespread use.
