Welcome to my blog entitled Mycophenolic Acid: The “Mould Fart” .
Before we start, other blogs that you might be interested in, include:
Mycophenolic Acid (MPA) is produced by the Penicillium fungus. MPA is an immunosuppressant which inhibits the proliferation of B and T lymphocytes. MPA exposure can increase the risk of opportunistic infections such as Clostridia and Candida. MPA is associated with miscarriage and congenital malformations when the woman is exposed in pregnancy.
Binders For Mycophenolic Acid
There is no specific binder for this specific mycotoxin.
Dr. Nathan suggests, through his experience, that you can select binders for specific mycotoxins where other experts seem to be less certain.
Considerations include:
- Dietary fibre
- Clay
- Charcoal
- Chlorella
- Probiotics
- Steamed kale!
Treatment For Mycophenolic Acid
Treatment needs to eb tailored to the individual, based on more that just the test results. Considerations can include:
- Green tea extract
- Ca-D-Glucarate
- Antioxidants such as curcumin, resveratrol, and quercetin
- Gut healing support, such as l-glutamine, as MPA has been shown to contribute to gut damage.
Symptoms of Mycophenolic Acid
