Eating raw and enzymes: an indirect aid for managing oxalates?

Living food, rich in raw fruits and vegetables, is increasingly appealing due to its promises of vitality and well-being, themes that are dear to the values of Biovie. However, at the heart of these healthy foods sometimes lie natural compounds called oxalates. Present in plants appreciated like spinach, the Almonds or the cocoa ¹, they raise questions, particularly for sensitive individuals.

An idea is circulating: theraw food, naturally endowed with enzymes, could it help us better manage these oxalates? This article aims to explore this question in depth, relying on current scientific knowledge. We will see that if the enzymes of the raw foods do not act directly on oxalates, their role in improvement of digestion and of the gut health global could provide valuable indirect assistance. Let's untangle the real potential of this approach to better understand how eat raw can be integrated into a comprehensive oxalate management strategy, by optimizing our digestion and our gut health.

Oxalates: Understanding Them Better to Manage Them Better

To understand how our diet can influence their management, it is essential to know what oxalates are. Scientifically, Oxalate is the conjugate base of oxalic acid, the simplest of the dicarboxylic acids..¹ In the plant world, they play various roles, including regulating calcium, protecting against herbivores, or detoxifying heavy metals.¹ Our body also produces a certain amount of it endogenously, as a byproduct of normal metabolism, particularly from amino acids or vitamin C.¹ However, a significant portion of our oxalate load comes from our diet (exogenous source).²

Oxalates are often referred to as "antinutrients" because they have the ability to bind to certain essential minerals, primarily calcium (Ca²⁺), but also the magnesium (Mg²⁺) and the iron (Fe²⁺), forming insoluble salts.¹ This binding can reduce the absorption of these minerals by our body. However, this characteristic also has a potentially beneficial downside: by binding to calcium directly in the intestine, oxalate forms an insoluble complex that cannot be absorbed and is eliminated in the stool.¹ Thus, the presence of calcium in the meal can paradoxically decrease the absorption of oxalate itself. It is therefore important to qualify the term "antinutrient." The actual effect largely depends on the overall nutritional context (notably calcium intake) and individual sensitivity. It is not necessary to demonize healthy plant foods solely because of their oxalate content, especially if their consumption remains moderate as part of a varied diet.⁴

Many plant-based foods contain oxalates in varying amounts. Some are particularly high in them:

Note: These levels are indicative and may vary depending on the variety, growing conditions, season, and method of preparation.¹

Absorption and Effects of Oxalates: What Science Says

The absorption of dietary oxalates occurs primarily in the small intestine and the colon, although a small portion can be absorbed as early as the stomach.¹ A key factor determining absorption is the solubility of oxalate: soluble forms (not bound to calcium) are more easily absorbed than insoluble calcium oxalate crystals.¹ That is why consuming foods rich in calcium at the same time as foods rich in oxalates can significantly reduce the absorption of the latter.¹

The net intestinal absorption of oxalate is the result of a complex balance between several processes. There is passive absorption, which depends on the concentration of soluble oxalate in the intestine, as well as active transcellular transport mechanisms involving specific proteins such as the SLC26A3 transporter.² Simultaneously, the intestine is also capable of actively secreting oxalate from the blood into the intestinal lumen, notably via the transporter SLC26A6, thereby limiting net absorption.² The efficiency of these processes varies considerably from one individual to another: on average, only 5 to 15% dietary oxalate is absorbed ², but this rate can be higher in people prone to kidney stones.¹

When oxalate is absorbed in excess and elimination mechanisms are overwhelmed, it can have harmful effects on health. The most well-known effect is the formation of Kidney stones. Approximately 80% Kidney stones are composed of calcium oxalate.² A high concentration of oxalate in the urine (hyperoxaluria, generally defined as >40–45 mg per day) ²) increases the risk of oxalate binding to urinary calcium to form crystals, which can then aggregate into stones.¹ Even moderate and transient increases in urinary oxalate can promote this process.³

Besides kidney stones, high levels of oxalates can contribute to other problems:

• Mineral bonding: As mentioned, oxalates can reduce the absorption of calcium and magnesium.¹ Diets that are very high in oxalates and low in calcium are therefore not recommended.⁴
• Oxalic nephropathy: The accumulation of calcium oxalate crystals in kidney tissue can damage the kidneys.¹
• Inflammation: Oxalate crystals can trigger inflammatory responses in kidney cells and potentially in other tissues.²
• Systemic effects: In cases of kidney failure or massive absorption, oxalate can accumulate in the blood and deposit in various organs (bones, heart, etc.), a phenomenon called systemic oxalosis..¹

It is crucial to understand that the management of oxalates by the body (homeostasis) is a dynamic and complex process. It depends on a delicate balance between dietary intake. ¹, internal production ¹, intestinal absorption ¹, active intestinal secretion ², degradation by intestinal bacteria (see next section) and final elimination by the kidneys.² The intestine plays a central role, much more complex than just a passive entry point. Focusing solely on dietary intake is a reductive view. Improving the overall health of the intestine – its barrier function, the balance of its microbiota, and the balance between absorption and secretion – appears as a fundamental strategy to maintain good oxalate homeostasis. It is in this context that the indirect approach via the enzymesand digestive health makes perfect sense.

The essential role of enzymes in our digestion

The enzymes are extraordinary proteins that act as biological catalysts: they accelerate thousands of chemical reactions essential to life, including the breakdown of the food we eat.¹² Our digestive system produces its own arsenal of powerful enzymes, primarily in the pancreas, but also in the saliva, stomach, and the lining of the small intestine.¹³

The three main types of digestive enzymes are:

• Amylase: Present in saliva and produced by the pancreas, it initiates and continues the breakdown of complex carbohydrates (starches) into simpler sugars.¹²
• The protease: Produced by the stomach (pepsin) and the pancreas (trypsin, chymotrypsin), it breaks down long protein chains into smaller peptides and absorbable amino acids.¹²
• Lipase: Secreted by the pancreas (and a little by the stomach), it breaks down fats (triglycerides) into fatty acids and glycerol, which can then be absorbed.¹²

Others enzymes, like the lactase (for the lactose milk) or the Sucrase (for sucrose), are produced by the wall of the small intestine.¹² Without this enzymatic action, nutrients would remain trapped in molecules too large to be absorbed, leading to nutrient deficiencies and unpleasant digestive symptoms such as Bloating, gas, diarrhea, or abdominal pain.¹²

Raw or minimally processed foods contain nutritive enzymes, that is to say, natural enzymes that participate in the digestion of food from the moment of ingestion. They complement the work of our own digestive enzymes, thereby easing the digestive system and promoting better nutrient absorption. Think of the papain from papaya, at the pineapple bromelain, to the amylases and proteases of the honey Raw, to the amylases of the mangoes and ripe bananas, to the lipases of thelawyer or even to the enzymes developed during the fermentation of sauerkraut.⁵ The question is whether these plant enzymes can help us, particularly in the context of oxalates.

Plant enzymes and oxalates: an indirect but valuable connection

It is important to clarify from the outset: current research does not indicate that the digestive enzymes enzymes present in plants (amylases, proteases, plant lipases) have the ability to directly and significantly degrade oxalate molecules in our digestive tract. Their potential contribution to the management of oxalates is therefore indirect and involves other mechanisms related to the improvement of the digestion and of overall gut health.

Indirect support through improved digestion:

The idea is that if plant enzymes help to better break down macronutrients, it could have beneficial cascading effects:

• Plant proteases: By helping to more completely break down dietary proteins, they could reduce the amount of poorly digested proteins reaching the colon. An excess of undigested proteins can disrupt the intestinal flora, which is the collection of microorganisms that live in our intestines and support our digestion.
• Plant lipases: A better digestion of fats, potentially facilitated by these enzymes, could prevent the accumulation of undigested fats in the intestine. In certain conditions of fat malabsorption, fats can bind to intestinal calcium, leaving more "free" oxalate available for absorption. Effective fat digestion is therefore important for mineral balance and oxalate absorption.¹⁷
• Plant amylases: By participating in the breakdown of carbohydrates, they could help prevent excessive fermentation in the intestine, which is a source of gas and discomfort, and potentially harmful to the intestinal mucosa. .

Indirect support through the improvement of overall gut health:

A more efficient digestion, even if the direct contribution of plant enzymes is debated ⁵, means less work and "Stress"for the digestive system."¹² This contributes to a healthier gut environment. However, gut health is fundamental for managing oxalates:

• Barrier function: A healthy intestine has a robust and selective mucous barrier.⁹ This barrier controls what passes from the intestine to the blood. Increased intestinal permeability (sometimes referred to as "leaky gut"), often associated with poor digestive health, could allow for greater passive absorption of oxalates, particularly at the level of the colon.⁸ Therefore, anything that promotes good digestion and the health of the intestinal mucosa—and plant enzymes could indirectly contribute to this—potentially helps to maintain an effective barrier and limit the excessive entry of oxalates into the body. The logical chain would be: enzymes -> better digestion -> less intestinal stress -> healthier environment -> intact intestinal barrier -> better regulated oxalate absorption.

Indirect support via the gut microbiota:

Studies suggest that certain exogenous enzymes (from raw or fermented foods, or supplements) may have a beneficial effect on the composition of the gut microbiota.¹⁵ They could act somewhat like prebiotics, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and the Lactobacillus.¹⁵ By improving the gut environment and selectively nourishing certain bacterial populations, the enzymes present in raw foods could indirectly create a more resilient microbial ecosystem that is potentially better equipped to manage oxalates. This could result in better degradation of oxalates or an enhancement of the barrier function influenced by the microbiota.² In summary, while plant enzymes are not direct "anti-oxalates," their presence in a diet rich in raw foods could contribute, through the improvement of digestion, mucosal health, and microbiota balance, to a better overall management of oxalates by the body.

The gut microbiota: a key player in the degradation of oxalates

Our Intestine...hosts billions of microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts, viruses...) that make up the gut microbiota, a complex ecosystem essential to our health. It is important to distinguish between enzymes (proteins that catalyze reactions) and probiotics (beneficial living microorganisms).¹³ The microbiota plays a crucial role in digestion, immunity, and even the management of compounds like oxalates.

Among the inhabitants of our intestines, one bacterium stands out for its specific role regarding oxalates: Oxalobacter formigenes. This anaerobic bacterium (living without oxygen) has the unique characteristic of using oxalate as an almost exclusive source of energy and carbon.² By degrading oxalate directly in the intestine, it reduces the amount available for absorption. Some studies even suggest thatO. formigenes could stimulate the secretion of oxalate from the blood to the intestine, thereby contributing doubly to reducing the oxalate load in the body.²⁰

However, not everyone hosts O. formigenes. Its presence tends to decrease with age, but also due to our modern lifestyle, particularly in the populations of industrialized countries.²⁰ Several factors influence its colonization:

• Antibiotics: O. formigenes is sensitive to many common antibiotics. Their use, especially when repeated or broad-spectrum, can eliminate it from the intestine.²⁰
• Nutrition: The bacterium requires a regular supply of oxalate to survive. A diet very low in oxalate or very high in calcium (which binds oxalate) could hinder its presence.²¹ Furthermore, a diet low in Dietary fibers, essential for a diverse and balanced microbiota, can also compromise its development.

Numerous studies have established an inverse correlation between the presence ofO. formigenes in the intestine and the risk of developing recurrent calcium oxalate kidney stones.²⁰ This has led to research aimed at using O. formigenes as a probiotic to prevent or treat hyperoxaluria.²²

However, it would be reductive to limit the management of oxalates by the microbiota to the sole presence ofO. formigenes. Other gut bacteria, such as certain strains ofEscherichia coli, of Bifidobacterium or of Lactobacillus, also possess a capacity, although often lesser, to degrade oxalate.² Recent research suggests that it is rather a complex network of microorganisms, acting in synergy, that is responsible for the overall degradation of oxalate in the intestine.¹⁸ This explains why people lackingO. formigenes do not systematically develop stones.

The balance and global diversity of the microbiota are therefore essential. A diet rich in varied fibers nourishes a diverse microbiota and promotes the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), such as butyrate.¹⁸ These SCFAs are the preferred fuel for intestinal wall cells and play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the intestinal barrier. ¹⁸, potentially limiting the excessive absorption of oxalates. Conversely, a diet high in saturated fats or salt can disrupt this balance, reduce microbial diversity, and potentially increase intestinal permeability and oxalate absorption.¹⁸ Studies of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in animals confirm this link: modifying the microbiota by transplanting that of healthy animals helps reduce hyperoxaluria and crystal formation in animals subjected to a diet high in oxalates.²³

The management of oxalates thus appears as an ecosystem function of the microbiota. Focusing solely on O. formigenes is insufficient. A more global approach, aimed at promoting a healthy microbiome, diversified and resilient through an adapted diet, is probably the most effective long-term strategy. And this is where the idea of indirect assistance through enzymes from raw foods, by supporting digestive health and microbial balance, finds its relevance.

Eating Raw Daily: Practical Tips

We have seen that while the enzymes in raw foods do not directly destroy oxalates, they can play an indirect supportive role by improving digestion and promoting a healthier gut environment and microbiome. The gut microbiota, for its part, is a major player in the breakdown of oxalates, but its capacity depends on its overall balance rather than the mere presence of a miracle bacterium.

How to integrate this information into your daily diet ??

• Aim for the raw/cooked balance: The best approach is often mixed and personalized. There is no single rule. Listen to your body and observe your digestive tolerance.¹⁶ Vary the preparation methods: raw, juice, lacto-fermented, but if you wish to eat cooked, prioritize the cooking methods gentle (steaming, simmering, low temperature) that better preserve nutrients than aggressive cooking methods like pressure cooking or frying.
  
  
• Integrate more raw intelligently:

1. If you are not used to it, gradually increase the amount of raw food to allow your digestive system to adapt.
2. Start with raw vegetables that are considered more digestible: finely grated carrots, cucumber, young zucchini, avocado, young shoots... before introducing more fibrous vegetables like cruciferous ones (cabbage, broccoli).¹⁶
3. The chewing is the first step of digestion! Take the time to chew raw foods thoroughly.
4. Combine raw and cooked within the same meal: a large mixed salad with a variety of raw vegetables and some cooked vegetables (steamed or roasted), legumes, or whole grains can be an excellent compromise.¹⁶

• Supporting overall gut health: It is the key to good oxalate management (and for health in general!).

1. Bet on fiber: Consume a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and legumes (if well tolerated and properly prepared: soaking, long cooking). Fiber is the main fuel for a diverse microbiota.
2. Incorporate fermented foods: Raw sauerkraut, Kimchi, , kefir, , Kombucha, , plant-based yogurts fermented... provide probiotics and enzymes derived from the Fermentation.⁵
3. Ensure a sufficient calcium intake during meals, especially if you consume foods rich in oxalates. Calcium will bind to the oxalates in the intestine, limiting their absorption.¹ Good plant sources include leafy green vegetables (low in oxalates like kale), sesame seeds (tahini), and Almonds(moderately rich in oxalates), white beans.
4. Stay hydrated sufficiently throughout the day.
5. Limit added sugars, excess saturated fats, and ultra-processed foods. which can disrupt the intestinal balance.

• Do not demonize oxalates: Remember that most foods containing oxalates are extremely beneficial for health in other ways (rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants). Except in cases of proven individual sensitivity, recurrent kidney stones, or specific medical advice, a strict avoidance is generally neither necessary nor desirable as part of a balanced and varied diet.⁴

Conclusion: Living food, an ally for your overall balance

At the end of this exploration, it becomes clear that enzymes contained in raw foods do not provide a direct and magical solution for eliminating oxalates. Their role is more subtle, more indirect. By contributing to better digestion, facilitating nutrient absorption, and supporting the overall health of the intestinal ecosystem — including the mucosa and microbiota — living food is part of a comprehensive digestive wellness strategy. It is this overall effect on our "second brain" that can, in turn, help our body better regulate and manage the oxalates naturally present in our food.

The essential thing is to nourish your body and your microbiome with a diet that is as plant-based, varied, and minimally processed as possible. Finding the right balance between raw and cooked foods, the one that suits your constitution and digestive sensitivity, is a personal journey. Listening to oneself, carefully observing your reactions and conscious experimentation will be your best guides to compose the plate that brings you Vitality and balance in daily life.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Does eating raw really help eliminate oxalates ?

R: Not directly. The enzymes in raw foods do not destroy oxalates. However, eating raw can support your digestion and the health of your gut microbiome. A healthy gut and a balanced microbiome can indirectly help your body better manage the oxalates you consume, particularly by limiting their absorption and promoting their breakdown by certain bacteria like Oxalobacter formigenes.

Q2: What are the foods highest in oxalates to watch out for ?

R: Certain plant-based foods are particularly high in oxalates, such as spinach (especially raw), rhubarb, chard, buckwheat, almonds, cocoa powder, and certain nuts. However, it is generally not necessary to completely eliminate them from a balanced diet, unless advised otherwise by a doctor, as they also provide many beneficial nutrients. Cooking can reduce their oxalate content.

Q3: Are digestive enzyme supplements useful for oxalates ?

R: Classic digestive enzyme supplements (amylase, protease, lipase) help break down macronutrients but do not act directly on oxalates. Their usefulness would be indirect, by improving overall digestion and gut health. There is research on specific enzymes that degrade oxalate (such as those derived from Oxalobacter or other sources), but these are more related to targeted therapies in development rather than standard digestive enzymes.

Q4: Is it better to eat vegetables raw or cooked to manage oxalates ?

R: There is no single answer. Eating raw preserves natural enzymes (which help indirectly) and certain vitamins, but it may be less digestible. Cooking (especially boiling) can reduce the amount of oxalates in some vegetables like spinach and improve digestibility, but it destroys enzymes and certain vitamins. A balanced approach, combining raw and cooked foods according to your tolerance and the specific foods involved, is often ideal.

Q5: How can I naturally support the bacteria that break down oxalates in my gut?

R: To support Oxalobacter formigenes and an overall healthy microbiota capable of managing oxalates, prioritize a diet rich in fiber (fruits, vegetables, whole grains), as they nourish bacterial diversity. Consume fermented foods. Avoid excessive and unnecessary use of antibiotics, as they can harm these bacteria. Ensure an adequate intake of calcium with meals, as this helps bind oxalates in the intestine, reducing their absorption and potentially the "workload" for degrading bacteria.
