Oxalates are compounds that naturally exist in many generally healthy foods (kale, beet, spinach) and can come from overgrowth of yeast or fungus or mold. They bind to metal ions and form precipitates, which may cause various health problems depending on where the precipitate is deposited. Individuals with elevated oxalate levels may experience pain &/or brain fog as the result of oxalate crystals precipitating with minerals in tissue. Oxalate Scavenger contains calcium citrate and magnesium orotate to bind with dietary oxalic acid (in the gut) so that it can be safely excreted from the body. Vitamin B6 helps support healthy metabolism of glyoxylate to glycine rather than oxalate. It also includes the probiotic LactoSpore to support a healthy gastrointestinal microbiome. Those with AGXT, HOGA1, GRHPR, or SPP1 genetic variants may be more susceptible to having higher amounts of oxalates. Consider Oxalate Balancer as well if you need antimicrobial support.
