Many experts say that round-up does not affect human tissues, and it only affects bacteria cells. In saying that they would be correct, but what most people don’t understand is that your gut made up of more bacteria cells than human cells! We live in a symbiotic relationship with bacteria, and that same bacteria is what makes out gut healthy. Our gut bacteria area also responsible for making the majority of our neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are extremely important for our brain to develop well, and function well. When Glyphosates are elevated on an organic acids test I often see neurotransmitter levels being low as well.

The reason for this is due to a pathway called the shikimate pathway. The shikimate pathway is what allows bacteria in our gut to produce neurotransmitters that we use! The thing is glyphosates disrupt the production of phosphoenolpyruvate which is needed to go into the shikimate pathway to get the production of neurotransmitters started. Without phosphoenolpyruvate we do not have the ability to produce tryptophane (which supports serotonin production), tyrosine and phenylalanine (which support dopamine productions and other neurotransmitters).
