Beta Glucuronidase
It is an enzyme produced by certain bacteria in the bowel that splits estrogen bound to a benign molecule so that the bound estrogen can be carried through the large intestine safely. However, Beta Glucuronidase separates the estrogen from the neutralising compound allowing it to be absorbed back into the circulation. This estrogen reabsorption and recirculation are particularly important for the breasts and prostate glands.
