Glyphosate Part 2: How Glyphosate Leads to Neurotransmitter Shortage

How Glyphosate Dissolves Tight Junctions

  1. Glyphosate disturbed the Shikimate pathway which is the way that bacteria synthesize aromatic amino acids such as Tyrosine, Tryptophan, and Phenylalanine. 

  2. These amino acids are building blocks for important neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine, and many others 

  3. Without this pathway being active, it would lead to decrease synthesis of neurotransmitters (due to lack of building blocks- 85% of serotonin is made in the gut) 

  4. Downstream effects from anything like depression to anxiety.
