Connected Pathways
Vitamin D3
Fat SolubleCholecalciferol. Steroid hormone essential for calcium absorption, immune function, and genetic expression. Works synergistically with…
Zinc
MineralsEssential for immune function, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and stomach acid production.
Lithocholic Acid
MetabolitesSecondary bile acid produced by gut bacteria. Weakly activates VDR in ileum.
Glyphosate
Toxic ElementsHerbicide that disrupts shikimate pathway in gut bacteria. Chelates minerals, disrupts enzymes.
Mycotoxins
Toxic ElementsToxic compounds from mold. Inhibit VDR, deplete glutathione, damage mitochondria.
