🌿The Mineral & Detox Gene Connection
No vitamin or supplement works alone — and when your minerals or detox genes are off balance, your whole system feels it. ⚙️
Minerals are the quiet spark plugs of your detox pathways.
Every enzyme that breaks down toxins, hormones, or histamine depends on the right minerals to turn it on.
🧲 Magnesium — activates over 300 enzymes, including those that make glutathione.
🌿 Selenium — powers glutathione peroxidase, your antioxidant cleanup enzyme.
🧬 Zinc — essential for hormone balance and liver detox.
⚖️ Molybdenum — clears sulfites and histamine by-products.
When these are low, even “healthy” supplements and helthy foods (hello high histamines) can backfire — causing fatigue, irritability, or detox reactions.
That’s why it’s so valuable to test both your mineral status (HTMA) and your genetic detox pathways (like with a MaxGen test).
👆🏻Certain genes don’t predict disease — they reveal how your body processes stress, toxins, and nutrients.
🌿Once you know your map, you can support your weakest points with the right minerals and cofactors, instead of guessing.
