All crop protection products, including those containing the active substance glyphosate, are subject to rigorous and exhaustive testing. This happens under the watchful eye of regulatory agencies worldwide.

Glyphosate, given its effectiveness and wide adaptation, is one of the best studied herbicides in the world.
Urine is a primary way to eliminate water-soluble chemicals or their metabolites from the body. Glyphosate is water-soluble, and our kidneys will filter any glyphosate present in the bloodstream prior to elimination via urine.
