All-natural gut health supplement that defends against toxins, sparks cellular connection, and builds foundational gut health.
(224)

ION* Gut Support for adults, kids, and pets is naturally rich in a variety of humate substances, trace minerals, and amino acids. Its active ingredient, Terrahydrite®, isn’t bacteria; it’s a family of molecules made by bacteria. ION*Gut Health for adults, kids and pets is not a probiotic or a prebiotic; it’s an awakener of connections. It’s a catalyst of redox signaling which maintains tight junction integrity in the epithelial layer of the gut lining.

🛡️ Think of your gut lining like a selective security system

Your intestinal wall is lined with millions of cells connected by “tight junctions” - microscopic gatekeepers that control what gets absorbed into your bloodstream and what stays out.

When these connections are strong, they allow nutrients through while blocking toxins and harmful substances. But modern life can weaken these crucial barriers.

Here are 3 ways to strengthen your tight junctions:

1️⃣ Reduce inflammatory foods
Cut back on processed foods, excess sugar, and foods you’re sensitive to. These can trigger inflammation that loosens tight junctions.

2️⃣ Manage stress levels
Chronic stress releases cortisol, which directly weakens gut barrier function. Try meditation, deep breathing, or whatever helps you unwind.

3️⃣ Support your gut with ION* Gut Support
ION* Gut Support’s proprietary humic extract works differently than probiotics - it actually strengthens tight junctions in just 16 minutes. Studies show it reduces zonulin (the protein that loosens these connections) by 12% in 2 weeks.

Your gut barrier is your body’s first line of defense. When it’s strong, everything else follows: better digestion, clearer skin, improved immunity 🌱

Aging isn’t just about what’s on the outside; it’s about what’s happening inside.

As we grow older, the gut barrier becomes more important than ever. It helps regulate inflammation, absorb nutrients, and protect the body from environmental stressors that speed up aging.

But when that barrier weakens (as it often does with age), your body may start to feel more sluggish, inflamed, and out of balance.

We created a new blog that explains how your gut barrier changes with age, and what you can do to support it through simple, science-backed steps.

If your gut could talk, here’s what it would really say… no sugar-coating, just the truth (with love).

1. Your gut health isn’t just about digestion.
It’s connected to your mood, energy, immune system, and even skin health, so if something feels “off,” your gut might be sending signals.

2. Your gut notices when you skimp on sleep.
Poor sleep throws off digestion, appetite, and the balance of your gut bacteria. Your microbiome needs rest just like you do.

3. Water is your gut’s best friend.
If you’re not drinking enough, your digestion slows down, and waste hangs around longer than it should.

4. Fiber is your gut’s love language.
Most of us aren’t getting enough, and your gut bacteria thrive on it. More plants on your plate = a happier microbiome.

5. A strong gut barrier is your first line of defense.
When tight junctions in your gut lining weaken, unwanted particles sneak into your bloodstream. ION* Gut Support helps strengthen those tight junctions, so your gut can do its job and protect your whole body.

Back-to-school doesn’t have to mean back to hidden plastics in your kitchen and lunchbox.

The good news? You don’t have to replace everything overnight. Start small with a few easy, budget-friendly swaps and build from there. Your body (and the earth) will thank you.

There’s matcha… and then there’s OUR matcha.

The organic, ceremonial-grade matcha in ION* +Focused Mind is grown on Jeju Island, a pristine volcanic island off the coast of South Korea, which has been honored by UNESCO for its protected ecosystem, geology, and biodiversity.

Why it matters: where and how an ingredient is grown determines its potency and purity.

🌱 No synthetic pesticides or fertilizers
🌋 Mineral-rich volcanic soil
🪰 Pest control through pheromones — not chemicals
🌤 Naturally shaded to boost L-theanine levels

This unique cultivation process boosts compounds that fuel mental clarity:
🧠 L-theanine for calm, focused alertness and stress regulation
🧪 EGCG + polyphenols to protect neurons and support brain resilience

Every batch is lab-tested for safety, potency, and purity — then reviewed for texture, scent, taste, and color.

The result? The most silky, vibrant, and brain-loving matcha we’ve ever tasted.

Tired all the time, even when you’ve slept?

Bloated after almost every meal?

Brain fog, skin issues, or low moods that seem to come out of nowhere?

These symptoms may seem unrelated… but there’s a common thread: chronic inflammation. And one of the biggest contributors? A compromised gut barrier.

Not all elderberries deliver the same immune support.

The Haschberg Elderberry, used in ION* +Vital Immunity, is considered the gold standard. Grown in Austria’s Styrian mountains, these berries thrive in mineral-rich soil and clean alpine air, producing higher levels of immune-active compounds than typical elderberries.

Each batch is fully traceable to family farms and water-extracted to preserve the full spectrum of nutrients.

They’re especially rich in:
✨Anthocyanins – plant pigments with powerful antioxidant properties
✨Polyphenols – natural compounds that help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress
✨Flavonoids – nutrients that support immune and cellular health
✨Polysaccharides – complex carbohydrates that help regulate immune responses

Together, these nutrients help balance cytokine activity (your immune system’s communication signals), support innate immunity, and help block viruses from binding to cells, especially in the upper respiratory tract.
