Hidden Sources of Aluminium

Aluminium is a toxic metal that should never enter our bodies, yet it somehow gets absorbed into our bodies more often than we are aware. Most of us are in contact with aluminium daily. Aluminium is found in household items, personal care products, kitchenware and more!

Aluminium can enter our bodies through our skin or through our digestive tract.

Vaccines contain aluminium as an adjuvant so that the immune system can recognise the antigen in the vaccine strongly as a toxin. The maximum daily amount of aluminium safe for a child has been determined to be 25mcg. However vaccines contain much more.

How is aluminium detoxified in the body?

Aluminium coming from food leaves the body mostly through the faeces and some of it leaves through the kidneys. Nutrients such as zinc, copper, silicon, magnesium malate and B vitamins can help rid the body of aluminium. Magnesium malate is the leader in aluminium detoxification. Zinc reduces the absorption of aluminium.
