We are excited to share a recently published study in Nutrients investigating the microbiome effects of ImmunoLin® and N-acetylglucosamine (NAG), the ingredients in IgGI Shield™.

Some interesting findings:
• ImmunoLin significantly increased propionate production
• NAG significantly increased acetate and butyrate production
• When combined, the ingredients produced balanced increases across all three key short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)
• The combination also reduced gas production suggesting improved tolerability

It was great to collaborate on this research with the Cryptobiotix team.

Join us for our upcoming webinar exploring allulose, a naturally occurring sugar gaining attention for its potential role beyond taste. Emerging research suggests it may act more like a metabolic signaling molecule, with implications for blood sugar regulation and overall metabolic health.

In this session, we’ll cover:
• The mechanisms behind allulose and metabolic signaling
• Its potential role in supporting healthy blood sugar balance
• Emerging research on gut microbiome interactions
• Why it may offer a promising alternative to traditional sweeteners

Clinical insight is often best understood through real-world application.

Join us for our upcoming webinar on March 26, where the authors of several recently published Designs for Health case studies will come together to review their findings, methodologies, and clinical outcomes.

During this session, attendees will explore case reports covering:
• Targeted nutraceutical support in a pediatric Crohn’s disease patient with improved f***l calprotectin
• Urinary metabolite testing and nutraceutical strategies in the management of menopause symptoms
• Homocysteine reduction across seven patients using a targeted nutraceutical approach
• The role of Anaerostipes caccae CLB101™, a key butyrate-producing probiotic, in resolving long-term food intolerances

This discussion will highlight how these real-world cases translate into practical strategies for integrative clinical practice and support improved patient outcomes.

At Designs for Health, our commitment to corporate responsibility and culture aligns with our mission to design a well world—whether through developing science-backed supplements, curating engagement events for our team members, or supporting initiatives that give back to the communities we serve.

We were proud to sponsor the Women’s Wellness Fest in Jacksonville, FL earlier this month! This event was dedicated to supporting women’s physical, mental, and spiritual well-being through community, connection, education, and healing.

As part of our sponsorship, Designs for Health funded three months of menstrual products for the Jacksonville Period Pantry, helping provide organic cotton, dioxin-free menstrual products to individuals in need throughout the community.

Founded in 2023, the Jacksonville Period Pantry works to ensure everyone has access to essential menstrual care - a mission we’re honored to support.

Our Florida team members from Sales, Sales Ops, Legal, Quality, and Marketing spent the day connecting with practitioners and customers, enjoying the beautiful weather, and celebrating wellness together.

Thank you to the Women’s Wellness Fest community for creating such a meaningful space for education, empowerment, and connection.
