Tag: Endotoxemia

Research has revealed a clear link between a Western-style diet and a significant increase in plasma endotoxin levels. This critical connection means that what you eat can directly impact the amount of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) that crosses from your gut into your bloodstream, triggering low-grade chronic inflammation.

Research has shown that L-arginine is the primary amino acid precursor for nitric oxide production in the body. The key question is: does lysine block nitric oxide, and if so, what is the mechanism behind this amino acid competition?

A single processed food meal can contain over 200,000 ng of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a pro-inflammatory bacterial component. So, **what foods contain lipopolysaccharides** and what does this mean for your nutrition diet and overall health?

LPS, a component of gram-negative bacteria, can trigger widespread inflammation and systemic issues when it leaks into the bloodstream, a condition known as metabolic endotoxemia. Research indicates that specific nutritional interventions, including supplementation, can significantly reduce circulating endotoxin levels. This guide answers the question: what supplements reduce LPS and help repair the gut barrier?
