Doses of shilajit at 100mg twice daily did not negatively affect kidney or liver function in healthy subjects over 90-days.

There are no known contraindications with ION* Gut Support. However, for maximum efficacy of all products, we do suggest separating by 30 minutes if you are taking ASEA, a thyroid medication, iodine, or a binder supplement. ION* can also do things like donate electrons to free radicals (acting as an antioxidant), downregulate zonulin (the protein that weakens tight junctions), and diversify your gut microbiome by supporting the structure of your gut lining (where your microbiome lives). ION Gut is a new generation, soil-derived supplement that promotes an optimal gut environment. It is not a probiotic. It is not a prebiotic. Rather, it is a carbon-rich, alkaline liquid, comprised of Terrahydrite™, a proprietary formulation of Aqueous Humic Substances and trace mineral amino acid complexes. ION* Gut + Microbiome triggers your body to seal cells in the gut lining; this seal helps to keep toxins out of your body and strengthens the terrain upon which your microbiome can diversify. 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.

“Noticeable benefits, so far so good...have tried lots of other products before throughout about 8 years of IBS/Leaky gut and nothing has worked this quickly, and without any undesired bulking agents, preservatives or other nasties.”

unique ingredient in ION*Gut, is not a probiotic or a prebiotic; it contains carbon molecules sourced from ancient fossilised soil. The friendly bacteria located in your gut support more than just digestion; their actions are heavily implicated in immune function and overall health. With three daily 5ml doses, taken 30-minutes before meals, the proposed benefits are made possible by Gut Health’s active ingredient: Terrahydrite®. Significant decreases in cholesterol and triglycerides were seen in healthy subjects that received 2000mg daily of shilajit over 45 days when compared to placebo. Do any of the ION* products need to be refrigerated? No, all of the products in the ION* suite are shelf stable and do not require refrigeration.

If you’ve been part of the ION* family for a while, you know that ION* Gut Support is a groundbreaking type of gut health supplement. If you’re new, you’ve come at just the right time!

Testimonials

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. Fulvic acid is lignite-derived supplement. Vital Earth Minerals offers a Fulvic Mineral Complex that has 14.26mg of fulvic acid per serving. The fulvate molecules in ION* are bacterial metabolites that chelate (bind) with minerals, amino acids, etc. to help transport them into cells where they are needed. Further, fulvate can remove what is not needed and even harmful in the cell and transport it out.

Tight junctions are the seals between cells which help to create a defensive barrier in the epithelial layer of your gut lining. They function to keep toxins and foreign particles out of the bloodstream while also allowing nutrients to enter. Tight junction integrity is at the foundation of health. The ION* path was first laid in 2012 when an obscure soil science article showed Dr. Zach Bush, Founder and CEO, a family of carbon molecules capable of partnering with the human body. Already primed with a passion for finding root-cause solutions to human health problems, Dr. Zach and team set off to better define how we support the microbiome – our foundation of wellness. The answer didn’t lie in the probiotics industry, but through our bodies’ innate drive to heal and thrive. The domino effect of good health, they found, was a function of supporting, not supplementing. ION* Gut + Microbiome is unique in that it enables the body to naturally enhance the diversity of your individual microbiome. It works as a communication network that gives our bodies the tools to create their own bacterial ecosystem again - that ecosystem that has been wiped out by environmental toxins such as antibiotics and pesticides. Without the communication network, there will always be overgrowth of certain species and underrepresentation of others.

Fulvate can even partner with metal ions. By promoting metal bridges between molecules, it encourages electron transfer both within and across molecules which helps facilitate the communication aspect of ION*, what we refer to as "redox signaling". Encouraging cellular communication is truly profound, ultimately promoting innate cellular health. After all, a cell that can reach out and "ask" for what it needs will have an easier time getting it than a cell in isolation. Iodine is a highly-charged element that can bind to negatively-charged elements in ION* Gut + Microbiome. Also, certain "binder" supplements (clay, charcoal, and zeolites) recommend taking separately from any nutrition, food, or supplements. While previously, we were calculating the amount of ION* molecules together with their water shell, which are held together via hydrogen bonding, we are now able to measure the amount of humic extract more accurately without the water shell. This is 5mg per serving of ION*.
