Sifts by Sifts: Microplastics meet their match

Sifts just launched its single flagship product, Sifts, a new daily supplement designed to support the body’s natural digestive response to ongoing microplastic exposure, an emerging concern as particles are being increasingly detected in human tissues. The formula works at the gut level, combining chitosan, a positively charged fiber studied for its ability to bind negatively charged particles, with prebiotics and fibers to help capture and eliminate them through normal digestion. Rather than acting as a detox or systemic cleanse, the daily capsules are positioned as a gut-level, “bind and pass” approach to managing everyday exposure.
