Microbiome Shield™ Product Info
TARGETING OPTIMAL GUT HEALTH
Microbiome Shield™ targets non-beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract to combat the source of digestive problems (dysbiosis).
Microbiome Shield™ is a specifically immunized egg powder that blends antibodies from the eggs of specially inoculated laying hens.
Laying hens are inoculated with 29 different pathogenic bacteria found in the human gut. The hen’s immune system and its response create the ANTIBODIES THAT KILL THOSE PATHOGENS.
The antibodies are harvested and used to create Microbiome Shield™.
If you are experiencing symptoms of gut dysbiosis such as Bloating, Stomach Ache, Constipation, Loose Stools, Chronic Fatigue, Low Energy, Indigestion, GERD, or even autoimmune disorders, Microbiome Shield is here to help.
Take three capsules three times daily for two weeks. For a “one-two punch” take this product with DigestShield® to knock your gut issues out cold!
Reduces Side Effects of Poor GI Health
- Increases gut wall integrity by reducing inflammatory stress
- Improves bowel function by promoting growth of beneficial flora
Promotes the Growth of Healthy Bacteria
- Provides targeted immune protection against 29 human-relevant bacteria
- Reduces bacterial competition to free up nutrients and space in the microbiome
Helps Normalize Inflammatory Responses
- Supplements the immune system’s inventory of regulatory factors
- Helps regulate the release of inflammatory cytokines
HOW IT WORKS
Made with specifically immunized egg powder, Microbiome Shield™ provides targeted protection against non-beneficial bacteria in the gut.
- Strain-specific IgY proteins support the immune system’s natural defenses by targeting 29 specific strains of human-relevant bacteria in the digestive tract.
- Regulatory co-factors are used by the body to maintain a proper inflammatory response and reduce excess inflammatory stress.
IgY versus IgG – What are the differences?
Avian IgY is genetically and structurally different from its mammalian counterpart IgG.
As IgG, IgY has 2 heavy chains and 2 light chains shaped in the characteristic Y-shape with an antigen valency of 2. Functionally, they play similar biological roles. IgG and IgY are both major immunoglobulins providing defense against infectious agents and appearing in the bloodstream at high concentrations following exposure to an antigen.
IgY has a higher molecular weight due to an extra heavy chain constant domain. IgY also has a unique glycosylation pattern. However, there is little or no immunological cross-reactivity between IgY and mammalian IgG. In chickens IgY is actively transported to the egg yolk where the IgY concentration is ultimately higher than in blood.
By limiting the attachment of non-beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract, Microbiome Shield improves gut integrity and promotes the growth of healthy bacteria, positioning it as a unique solution to fill the gap in digestive health supplements
THE GUT IS A GARDEN
Like a garden overrun with weeds, imbalance in the gut (dysbiosis) occurs because non-beneficial bacteria have taken up residence in the GI tract.
Microbiome Shield™ targets harmful bacteria to increase the amount of available space and nutrients which beneficial flora need to survive.
IgY Advantages
IgY, or avian immunoglobulins, have distinct advantages over other immunoglobulin products on the market such as those derived from mammalian immunoglobulins, or IgG.
Due to structural differences, mammalian immunoglobulins can bind to human Fc receptors and incite an immune reaction, potentially increasing inflammatory stress.
By contrast, IgY from specifically immunized egg helps reduce inflammatory stress underlying chronic conditions. Because laying hens can be simultaneously immunized against multiple human pathogens, we are able to produce a multivalent IgY product.
IgY Advantages:
- 3-5 times higher immunogenicity
- Does not increase inflammatory cytokine expression
- Up to 20 times higher immunoglobulin concentrations per unit
