Reduced zonulin could be in part due to the upregulation of the enzyme DPP4 by intestinal epithelial cells which would prevent the production of, and accelerate the removal of, zonulin in the pericellular space.

None of the minerals or amino acids in ION* Gut + Microbiome are present in levels that would be considered adequate to allow ION* Gut + Microbiome to replace other standard mineral therapies, such as Lithium orotate or your regular multi-mineral supplement, in your gut health management. ION* Gut + Microbiome supports healthy gut membranes. This support can return expected drug absorption to normal levels and may improve bioavailability of your supplements and food nutrients. If you are on a medication that requires blood level testing to adjust the dose (such as blood thinners or seizure medications) you should discuss ION* Gut + Microbiome with your doctor, who may want to get testing done within a week of starting ION* Gut + Microbiome, as you would do with a diet change or adding other mineral supplements. ION*Gut is an all-natural, soil-derived food supplement rich in a variety of humate substances, trace minerals, and amino acids discovered by Dr Zach Bush. Terrahydrite, the

Many people starting ION* Gut + Microbiome have noted almost immediate signs of toxin clearance from the body. Urine, sweat, breath, and skin in the case of mineral foot baths, can all reveal toxin clearance. This is the result of the extremely rapid changes in tight junction integrity as ION* Gut + Microbiome promotes functional tight junctions in the gut, blood vessels, kidney tubules, etc. Instead of feeding your microbiome with various bacterial strains, ION* Gut + Microbiome works via carbon-based redox signaling to help the body's natural processes that maintain tight junction integrity in the epithelial layer of the gut lining. Think of ION* Gut + Microbiome primarily as a signal, not a nutrient. It provides a framework of communication for the gut bacteria, because of the ancient soil/bacteria carbon molecules it is derived from which, when stabilized, contain the same carbon-based redox signaling molecules produced by gut bacteria. ION* Gut + Microbiome supports innate communication channels between our microbiome, the cells that line our intestines, and other parts of the body. It may help with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and leaky gut syndrome The most commonly reported side effects are tiredness, bloating, gas, digestive discomfort, irregular heartbeat, and sweating.

Is sediment and variation in colour normal? Yes, every product in the ION* suite is all natural and soil derived; the colour, taste, and amount of sediment in each bottle can vary. It is neither abnormal nor harmful. This means their products undergo regular testing for bacterial contamination and the presence of heavy metals, which can happen with soil-derived ingredients. unique ingredient in ION*Gut, is not a probiotic or a prebiotic; it contains carbon molecules sourced from ancient fossilised soil. Yes. ION should be safe for most people. The company follows the standards set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Collagen, famous for its role in promoting skin elasticity and strength, goes much farther than skin deep. The benefits of healthy collagen formation actually extend to everything from muscle strength and joint pain to overall heart health. Collagen is found in your bones, muscles, blood, comprises a third of the protein in your body, and three-quarters of your skin! Suffice it to say: it’s kind of a big deal. It’s especially important to support collagen production as you age, as your existing collagen breaks down, and it becomes harder to produce more.

We call this the intelligence of nature, because rather than forcing response at the cellular level, the signaling molecules in ION* amplify the cells’ own communication pathways, resulting in appropriate adaptation to the intracellular and extracellular environment. First, the purported benefits of probiotics have been overstated. Recent studies have found that probiotics used after a course of antibiotics actually delayed gut health recovery in test subjects 1. If used long-term, a “monoculture” (or an overpopulation of the few strains in the probiotic formula) can develop. With each species of gut flora specializing in helping drive specific functions in the body 2, a monoculture could actually hinder gut health.
