Science that reflects
nature's wisdom
The science behind ION* lies in strengthening the cellular integrity of your body's barriers, including not just your gut, but your sinuses and skin as well. Keeping your cells connected keeps these barriers intact, which sets the stage (or "terrain" as we like to call it) for seamless interaction between you and your microbiome.
Benefits
Toxin protection
Your body's barriers know what to let in (nutrients) and what to ward off (toxins). But the barriers must be strong. ION* works to strengthen your gut, sinus, and skin barriers at a cellular level by fostering tight junction integrity, helping to promote this intelligent defense system at a foundational level.
Immune function
Your immune system's function is to identify and eradicate pathogens, and that process begins at your body's barriers to the outside world. Research indicates that 70% or more of the body’s pathogen-fighting white blood cells reside in the gut. By helping to keep your barriers strong, ION* displaces pathogens before your immune system is exposed to their damaging effects.
Microbiome support
Just like you, your microbiome needs a healthy, hospitable environment to thrive. Think of your skin, gut lining, and nasal passages as terrains – upon which the health of your microbiome depends. This is where we come in. By supporting the terrain (cellular integrity), ION* facilitates microbiome health at its literal foundation
Cellular hydration
Healthy membranes (skin, gut, sinuses) facilitate movement of minerals and nutrients across cell membranes, also pulling in water. By improving cellular integrity and reinforcing those membranes, ION* improves the regulation of water absorption.
Stronger tight junctions = better nutrient absorption and hydration.
Collagen production
Collagen is most associated with improving elasticity, supporting hydration, and reducing signs of aging in the skin. However, the benefits of healthy collagen formation go far deeper, helping with everything from muscle strength to joint pain to heart health. ION* has been scientifically shown to support lysine production – one of the fundamental precursors of collagen formation.
