Top 8 Ways To Reduce Glyphosate Levels Naturally

Foods & practices that support the body in detoxifying glyphosate.

Approximately 87% of children and 80% of adults in the U.S. had detectable levels of glyphosate in their urine samples, according to a study by the CDC.

This study ran from 2013-2014, testing urine samples from 650 children and 1,600 adults in the United States.

More recent research suggests that glyphosate exposure remains high, including a study published in 2024 finding that between 70.0% and 81.7% of the population had detectable levels of glyphosate.

As mentioned in last week’s post, glyphosate is a Class 2A carcinogen, a neurotoxin to the brain, and a highly inflammatory chemical that has harmful effects on our health (especially with prolonged exposure), with over 100,000 lawsuits filed against Monsanto claiming that exposure to glyphosate in Roundup led to non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other cancers.

For these reasons, supporting our bodies in eliminating glyphosate is essential if we want to minimize the harmful effects it has on our health.

Let’s look at the ways we’re exposed to glyphosate and how we can reduce levels naturally.

How We’re Exposed To Glyphosate

Food is the main way that we’re exposed to glyphosate, since it’s the most widely used herbicide in the U.S. and sprayed on majority of conventional (non-organic) crops, including corn, sugar, soy, oats, wheat, and legumes.

As a recap from last week, the foods with the highest levels of glyphosate include:
