Join and get the guide immediately: where the science stands, the exposure sources that actually matter, and how to cut your intake — then a short monthly research brief. We read the papers so you don't have to. You'll also be first to know the moment Daily Defense launches and is available to buy.
What the research found
A spoon's worth of plastic in your brain. A credit card's worth swallowed every week. It's in blood, lungs, and placenta — and exposure never stops.
~7 g
of microplastic in the average human brain — a plastic spoon's worth, up ~50% since 2016.1
4.5×
higher risk of heart attack, stroke, or death when plastics are found in artery plaque.2
~5 g / wk
the plastic an average person may swallow each week — about the weight of a credit card.3

Exposure is everywhere
Water, food, air, dust. Avoidance helps — it can't get to zero.
Your body has a pathway
Early human research is exploring whether oral chitosan supports the excretion of microplastic particles.
BindMoveOut
Bind. Move. Out.
Chitosan 1,000 mg binds particles in the gut; a pectin hydrogel moves them through; they exit naturally.
You can't avoid it — but you can clear more of it. Here's the science.
What the research on chitosan found
+47%
more microplastic
excreted
excreted
Taking chitosan with a meal moved more microplastic out of the body — measured directly in what left it.
In a 2025 human crossover study, volunteers excreted ~47% more microplastic particles in stool when chitosan was taken with a standardized meal versus the meal alone. An animal model pointed the same way: more out, less retained in the gut.4,5

Honest by design
No "detox" hype. We cite peer-reviewed research and describe the mechanism plainly.
Transparent dosing
1,000 mg chitosan · 500 mg apple pectin · 500 mg glycine. Every milligram on the label. Marine or mushroom source.
Certified compostable
A microplastic blocker shouldn't ship in future microplastics. The pouch is kraft paper with a cellulose liner — it composts.
Research partnership
Unplastic is partnered with Texas A&M and Tarleton State University to advance the science of microplastic protection and removal — turning peer-reviewed research into a product you can actually take.
Founded by
Devin Alvarez, MS
Environmental Science & Biotech, Florida A&M University · Founder & operator, Straight Hemp
A decade building supplement brands the honest way — most recently as founder and operator of Straight Hemp. He started Unplastic to bring that same transparency to microplastic defense: research-backed, clearly dosed on the label, no hype.
Scientific advisor
Dr. Rajani Srinivasan, PhD
Endowed Munson Research Professor of Chemistry · Tarleton State University (Texas A&M System)
A decade of peer-reviewed work developing non-toxic, plant-derived polymers that capture and remove microplastics from water — cited more than 1,200 times, recognized by the American Chemical Society. Her research into how natural polymers bind microplastics informs how we built Daily Defense.
