Modern life has a toxin problem.
PTX Labs is a team working on supplements and resources for toxin exposure. Two programs are in research right now — microplastics and immune resilience.
First formulations in development. We'll say more when there's something real to say.
Why we're working on this
The exposure picture, in published numbers
Figures from peer-reviewed research and public agency reporting. They describe the environment we all live in. They are not claims about any product.
Plastic produced worldwide in a single year — roughly double the 2000 figure
OECD, Global Plastics Outlook (2022)Share of all plastic waste ever successfully recycled
OECD, Global Plastics Outlook (2022)Plastic fragments found per litre of bottled water using newer imaging methods

Two problems worth getting right
Microplastics
Primary focus. Plastic particles now turn up routinely in water, air and food supply sampling, and the measurement science has moved much faster than the health science.
We track that literature closely and are developing formulations around it. What we won't do is pretend the evidence is further along than it is.
Immune resilience
The immune system is unusually sensitive to its inputs, and environmental exposure sits among the factors researchers are actively investigating.
Our second program is deliberately modest in scope: foundational nutrients at transparent doses, and plain-language resources about what remains genuinely unknown.
Where we are
Early, and saying so
Most companies in this category launch first and find the evidence later. We're going the other way round, which is slower and considerably less exciting.
-
Ongoing
Reading the literature
Tracking published work on exposure and immune health, and writing up what it does and doesn't establish.
-
Current
Formulation development
Working through candidate ingredients and doses for both programs.
-
Next
Independent testing
External laboratory verification before anything carries our name.
-

First release
No date announced. Join the list and you'll hear before anyone else.
