Millions of vulnerable people at the mercy of their healthcare systems are needlessly ingesting titanium dioxide from their medications on a daily basis, including hormone replacement therapy medications.

Research from China’s Jiaxing Nanhu University has highlighted the detrimental effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles as potential intestinal endocrine disruptors and could lead to diabetes and obesity, both of which are rapidly increasingly diagnosed in the UK and the US.

In the EU, the use of titanium dioxide as a food additive (E171) was banned starting in August 2022. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) determined it could no longer be considered safe due to genotoxicity concerns. So why is it still being used in so many medications?

Titanium dioxide is a manmade substance that is used to make paint white! My own personal journey with attempting to begin an HRT regimen left me horrified to find that women's progesterone capsules contain this substance, which left my tongue white after 3 months of use. Millions of women have to take oral progesterone every day to help them through one of the most difficult transitions of their lives, but I'm concerned for EVERYONE globally who has no choice but to take this substance in their medications, potentially making the very health conditions they are trying to manage, worse. Leaving trace deposits of this substance in the gut and liver is highly dangerous.

Specialised pharmacies are already demonstrating that there is a way to compound medications so as not to include nasty extras like titanium dioxide, soy lethicin and peanut oil to name a few, and so big pharmaceutical companies are merely continuing to make these medications simply because it's more convenient for them NOT to stop and find a healthier and more natural way to dispense these formulations. 

People deserve access to clean medications, and if nothing changes, our collective health will continue to decline. We'll see more gut issues, more mysterious auto immune disorders, and more diabetes and obesity.

It's time for our health systems to create a wider array of options for every person who is having to face the difficult decision of going on medication, so now is the time to act and we can only do this together.
