Description
The beta-glucuronidase enzyme plays an important role in detoxification, particularly in the gut, by helping break down complex carbohydrates and removing toxins. Produced by gut bacteria, beta-glucuronidase can influence hormone metabolism, especially the recycling of estrogen. Elevated enzyme levels may disrupt hormone balance, leading to issues like menstrual irregularities and mood changes. High levels of this enzyme may also point to imbalances in the gut microbiota, which could increase the risk of conditions like colon and breast cancer by enhancing the reabsorption of carcinogens. Testing for beta-glucuronidase through a stool sample can provide valuable insights into gut health and its impact on hormone metabolism. This test is particularly useful for individuals with high estrogen levels, digestive concerns, or a family history of certain cancers. Addressing elevated beta-glucuronidase through diet, lifestyle changes, and probiotics can help restore balance, supporting both digestive and hormonal health.
