INSIGHT

Deuterium's Impact

  • Deuterium, a stable hydrogen isotope, impacts biological processes due to its heavier weight and larger nucleus.
  • Its effects were initially overlooked but are now considered crucial in chronic diseases.
INSIGHT

Deuterium Levels in Tissues

  • Blood deuterium levels typically remain below environmental maximums (around 155 ppm).
  • Specific tissues like collagen can accumulate higher deuterium levels for structural purposes.
ADVICE

Target Deuterium Level

  • Aim for a deuterium level of 130 ppm or less for optimal health, achievable through a ketogenic diet.
  • Mitochondria maintain low deuterium through metabolic water recycling and the urea cycle.
