Glyphosate blocks the shikimate pathway, which is essential for producing nine amino acids that humans cannot synthesize.

“Monsanto revealed its mechanism of action which is to block an enzyme p pathway called the shikimic pathway that produces the critical amino acids that we call the essential amino acids in our food system all biology uh relies on protein synthesis for embryology to form in a womb all the way to our you know good health and vitality as we age uh we rely on protein structures and proteins compose you know structural proteins like TI Junctions and GAP Junctions that we might talk about but they also are the workforce they they they form the enzymes which are complex proteins that act kind of as these robotic Machinery that do detoxification do uh neurotransmitter uh movement of of resources so they they're kind of the transportation distribution detox coordination system of the whole body those are all complex proteins that we call enzymes so enzymes all the way to kind of structural proteins rely on a very small data set of building blocks called amino acids and there's 22 amino acids that build over 400,000 proteins that would make a human body possible those 22 are interesting in that the 22 amino acids uh Mo most of them can be made by every human cell and so the human cell finds resources and can put an amino acid building block together and unfortunately or by Nature's design there's nine that we cannot make and so those nine essential amino acids are termed essential because we have to get them from our environment namely from food or contact with soil systems and those nine are largely made by bacteria fungi and plants that we might consume and so human cells are not capable of making the essential amino acids the shikimate pathway that is blocked by Roundup and glyphosate”
