If you are struggling with dandruff address the following: Number 1: Gut issues. Even though multiple studies have shown 10 times more Malassezia on scalps with dandruff compared to healthy scalps, most people who struggle with dandruff are rarely been told to pay attention to their gut health.

So if you have dandruff you can either, start paying attention to your overall gut health for just a few weeks if you haven't already or get some tests to see if you have issues with SIBO, SIFO or some form of candida.

How can all these lead to issues with oxalates? Well B6 for example is required for the conversion of glyoxalate to glycine. Or calcium binds oxalates in the intestines and makes them get out through the back door. Which is not a small thing since without this, A LOT, of
