While it does a great job of protecting plants from being eaten before they have a chance to sprout, phytate binds to essential minerals and prevents human bodies from absorbing them. This can lead to issues like bloating, fatigue, and nutrient deficiencies, even if you're eating a nutrient-rich diet.

What is Phytate?
Phytate, also known as an anti-nutrient, is a natural compound found in many plant-based foods, including grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes. It is also found in any food made from these, such as bread, pasta, cereal, peanut butter, etc. Many of us are consuming high amounts of phytate without even realizing it!
Phytate blocks essential micronutrients from being available to the human body.
Phytase helps to release phytate bonds, promoting nutrient absorption and bioavailability.
