Are we really being told the full story about microplastics?

Dr. Nicholas Monsul breaks down a growing concern: these particles don’t simply disappear. They persist in our environment, move through our water and food systems, and can become part of our everyday exposure.

The more we learn, the clearer it becomes that microplastics aren’t just an environmental issue—they’re a human health conversation too.

Microplastics are not only in water and air. They are entering agricultural soil: the living system that grows our food.

A new APPG on Microplastics report, produced with the University of Portsmouth’s Revolution Plastics Institute and the Women’s Institute, warns that contamination in UK soils threatens soil health and food security.

The pathway is especially concerning: wastewater treatment can capture up to 99% of microplastics from water: but transfers them into sludge. Between 87–94% of that sludge is then spread on farmland.

In soil, microplastics can alter structure and water capacity, disrupt bacteria and fungi crucial to soil health, and cause physiological changes in earthworms that ingest them. They can also attract chemicals, heavy metals, bacteria, and other contaminants.

The policy message is clear: contamination must be reduced at the source, with legally binding targets to cut microplastic pollution.

🧬 More than a decade of research. One mission: helping protect the body from microplastics.

Dr. Nicholas Monsul and Dr. Eva Berkes share the story behind years of research into the human microbiome, biofilms, and the growing concern surrounding micro- and nanoplastic exposure.

What started as a scientific challenge became a mission to better understand how our body’s natural protective barriers can interact with the plastics we’re exposed to every day.

This is the science behind My Gut Guardian™ Powered by Qi601™ — and the research continues.

Your morning coffee may come with more than caffeine.

New University of Queensland research published August 27, 2026, in ACS Food Science & Technology found that single-use takeaway cups can release millions of micro- and nanoplastic particles into hot liquids.

The study measured:
• ~4.3 million nanoparticles per mL from PLA-lined (“biodegradable”) cups
• ~2.7 million nanoparticles per mL from standard PE-lined cups
• PLA-lined cups released ~12× more total particle mass than PE-lined cups

Why? Most “paper” takeaway cups use a thin plastic lining to resist water. When exposed to hot beverages, that lining can shed plastic particles into your drink.

Researchers emphasize that the health impact is still unclear. But plastic exposure isn’t limited to bottles: it can begin with the cup in your hand.

Swipe through, save this, and share it with someone who starts every morning with takeaway coffee.

Microplastics aren’t just in our environment — they’re making their way into our bodies, too. 🔬

Scientists are now developing new ways to help address everyday microplastic exposure, and the research behind My Gut Guardian™ Powered by Qi601™ is exploring an entirely new approach.

Qi601™ is designed to interact with micro- and nanoplastics in the digestive system, helping the body move them through naturally rather than allowing them to linger.

The science behind microplastics is evolving quickly — and so are the potential solutions.

Learn more about the technology behind My Gut Guardian™ and the research that started it all.

Your shower routine may be adding more plastic to your day than you realize. 🚿

From plastic loofahs and shower poufs to bottles and synthetic materials, the bathroom is one of the easiest places to start making simple swaps.

One easy change? Replace a plastic shower pouf with a more durable, lower-plastic alternative.

Small swaps won’t eliminate every source of microplastic exposure—but they can help reduce unnecessary plastic use over time.

🎥 Watch the swap and see how easy it is to make your routine a little more plastic-conscious.

Microplastics don’t just stay in the environment—they can make their way into our bodies, too.

These tiny plastic particles can enter through what we eat, drink, and even breathe, making exposure an everyday reality for most people.

The more researchers learn about microplastics, the more important it becomes to understand where exposure happens and what we can do to reduce it.

🎥 Watch to see how these particles can enter the body—and why this issue is getting so much attention.

Awareness is the first step toward making smarter choices.

What does gut science have to do with protecting soldiers from chemical threats?

Years before My Gut Guardian™, the science behind Qi601™ caught the attention of DARPA and the Department of Defense for a very different reason: its potential to strengthen the body’s natural protective barriers.

Researchers were exploring how beneficial bacterial biofilms could provide an added layer of defense against environmental and chemical exposures—an idea with potentially powerful applications for warfighters operating in extreme conditions.

That same foundational research helped shape the technology being studied today for supporting the gut’s natural defenses.
From military research to everyday health, the story behind Qi601™ goes much deeper than most people realize.

🎥 Watch Dr. Nicholas Monsul explain how it all began.

What if there was a natural way to help reduce your body’s microplastic burden?

Imagine a magnet attracting metal filings. 🧲

That’s the simple analogy Dr. Nicholas Monsul uses to explain how the patented Qi601™ technology in My Gut Guardian™ works. Instead of being absorbed into the body, it is designed to bind to microplastics in the digestive tract, helping your body eliminate them naturally.

As research continues to reveal how widespread microplastic exposure has become, we’re committed to sharing the science behind innovative solutions designed to support your gut’s natural defenses.

🎥 Watch this video to see how Dr. Monsul explains the concept.

Your morning coffee may be coming with something you didn’t order. ☕️🧬

Research continues to raise concerns about microplastics and nanoplastics entering our food and drinks through everyday plastic materials—including certain disposable coffee cups and lids.

Heat can be an important factor. When hot liquids come into contact with plastic-based materials, tiny particles may be released into what we consume.

You don’t have to give up coffee. Small swaps—like using a reusable glass, ceramic, or stainless-steel cup—can help reduce unnecessary plastic exposure.
