Beta-glucuronidase

Beta-glucuronidase is an enzyme produced by certain gut bacteria that can break the bond between glucuronic acid and various toxins, hormones, or drugs that have been prepared for elimination by the liver. Elevated beta-glucuronidase activity in the stool may indicate microbial imbalance and can interfere with detoxification by reactivating substances like estrogen and xenobiotics in the colon. This reactivation may contribute to systemic toxicity or hormonal imbalances. Measuring beta-glucuronidase in stool helps assess microbial metabolism and detoxification efficiency in the gut.

Description

What is beta-glucuronidase?

It's an enzyme made by certain gut bacteria that can reverse the detoxification process by breaking the bond between toxins and glucuronic acid.

Why is beta-glucuronidase measured in stool?

To evaluate how gut microbes may be affecting the body’s ability to eliminate hormones, drugs, and toxins.

What does a high beta-glucuronidase level indicate?

It may suggest microbial imbalance and a risk of reactivation of harmful substances in the gut.

Can high beta-glucuronidase levels affect hormones?

Yes, especially estrogen, since the enzyme can release it back into circulation from the gut.

What factors can influence beta-glucuronidase activity?

Gut microbial composition, diet, toxin exposure, and certain medications may affect enzyme levels.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
