Description
Usage Instructions:
Adults and Children 3 and Over: Recommend 1 teaspoon of ION* Gut + Microbiome 3x/day. Optimal support is achieved when taken 30 minutes prior to meals, but you can take it immediately before, with, or after a meal, (or on an empty stomach) and still receive benefit.
Sensitive Adult Usage: Results can vary with initial ION* Gut + Microbiome usage, with many customers reporting rapid and profound early results. These results are not the direct effects of the supplement itself, but instead reflect the innate healing process that occurs in a body as the firewall system is optimally up and running. There is a subset of individuals, however, that can experience symptoms of tiredness, headache, bloating/increased gas, or bowel changes. If you feel you may be sensitive to the changes that can occur as your innate defences and capacity for water/nutrient absorption are restored, we suggest a slower approach. Start with 1/8 teaspoon of ION* Gut + Microbiome daily, increasing usage slowly, as tolerated, to get to recommended label usage.
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.
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.
Is ION* Gut + Microbiome similar to probiotics or enzymes?
- ION* Gut + Microbiome is not a prebiotic, a probiotic supplement, or a direct source of enzymes. It contains zero bacteria. We need a much more diverse microbiome in our gut than one can achieve by replicating the same strands of bacteria over and over (this monoculture can happen when we take probiotics).
- ION* Gut + Microbiome is unique in that it naturally enhances the diversity of your individual microbiome in your gut. 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.
Note: Please consult your healthcare practitioner concerning the addition or removal of probiotics and digestive enzymes in your personal regimen; as each person is unique, we cannot make individual recommendations.
About ION* Gut
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 has been shown in lab testing to increase and strengthen the tight junction proteins in the gut lining, our frontline of defence against environmental factors in our food, water, and even air, thereby impacting the immune system, as much of the body’s immune system is in the gut lining. Additionally, a stronger gut lining keeps undigested food and environmental elements, such as herbicides and antibiotics used in farming, from leaking out into the bloodstream from the intestines, so the immune system does not have to defend against these foreign “invaders,” which could also be as simple as undigested kale or broccoli.
ION’s Benefits
ION is designed to balance gut health, support respiratory wellness, combat environmental exposures, promote immune function, enhance mental clarity, and promote hydration. It is naturally gluten-free. ION has been shown to create a beneficial shift in the bacteria making up the microbiome, which is what many people are attempting to do with probiotics and prebiotics. Carbon-based redox molecules from ancient fossilised soil help restore the communication network between bacteria in the gut, mitochondria, and cells in the body.
Non-Toxic
ION Gut is based in science. Research has shown it to be non-toxic. ION Gut take the safety of their product very seriously. Their Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Team does regular testing for bacterial contamination, heavy metals, and overall product composition and strength. They performed the “gold standard” toxicology study on ION gut supplement and showed that it is non-toxic on kidney cells, even at high doses. In experiments, environmental and natural toxins — including herbicides and gluten — have been shown to degrade the gut barrier. ION Gut has been shown in cell culture to promote the strengthening of the tight junctions in small and large gut membrane cells for an optimal gut environment.
