Normally, PST is involved in a process called sulfo conjugation, whereby a group of potentially harmful chemicals known as phenols are attached to sulfate and thereby eliminated from the body.  When there is a lack of sulfate in the bloodstream, phenolic compounds may build up in the body, and this in turn can interfere with neurotransmitter function.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIf the body doesn’t have enough sulfate the impairment of PST activity may explain some sensitivity reactions to a variety of phenol-containing foods, such as apples, grapes, chocolate, food colorings, and some herbs and spices.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLow sulfate levels can also:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eprevent the detoxification of metals and other environmental toxins in the body;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003einhibit the release of pancreatic digestive enzymes thereby hindering digestion;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003elimit the activation of the hormone CCK, which plays a role in socialization.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KIRKMAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32344660410499,"sku":"16197","price":34.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0319\/0960\/9603\/products\/EPSOMSALTCREAM-16197.jpg?v=1611207686","url":"https:\/\/myvillanegreen.com\/products\/magnesium-sulfate-cream","provider":"Village Green Apothecary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
