About binding proteins
"Binding Proteins are next-generation fermented IgG fragments designed for precision and gut resilience."
Introduction to Binding Proteins
Being able to safeguard your gut is critical to staying healthy: Like infants are protected by IgGs in mother’s milk, Binding Proteins have the potential to support the large populations world wide from unhealthy metabolites or enterotoxins.
Unlike broad-spectrum immunity ingredients, they selectively bind to unhelathy metabolites (toxins), supporting gut balance without disrupting the microbiome. With a vegan-friendly profile and proven efficacy at low daily intake, Binding Proteins offer a science proven Mode of Action to immune and digestive health.
Binding Proteins Origin
It was discovered in 1993 that immunoglobulins (IgG) from camelids (camels, alpacas etc.) have a simple structure, and a binding domain comprising a single polypeptide chain, making it a small stable protein with a targeted binding activity.
Precision Fermentation
Binding Proteins are manufactured using established food industry best practices, including established (GRAS) microbial expression methods, adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP)Protocols.
Mode of Action
Each unique Binding Protein specifically binds to selected unhealthy metabolites (toxins), facilitating their safe and gentle passage through the GI-tract. While antibiotics eliminate bacteria in the gut, Binding Proteins have no kill effect, and do not cross the gut epithelial barrier or activate the immune system, and have a fast onset of action with effects observable shortly after ingestion.

Gut Dysbiosis Uncovered: How Gut Diversity & Gut Barrier Function Play a Crucial Role in Maintaining Your Health
The human gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in maintaining overall health. When the composition and function of this microbial ecosystem become imbalanced, we talk about gut dysbiosis. This imbalance contributes to a dysregulated gut-immune axis, referring to impaired communication and feedback loop between the gut microbiota, intestinal barrier, and the immune system¹.
The Role of Binding Proteins in Gut Health
Gut health is essential for overall well-being, yet lifestyle habits, environmental factors such as diet, and medicines contribute to an increasing prevalence of gut dysbiosis and a compromised gut lining. These disruptions can have significant health implications, ranging from acute digestive discomfort to long-lasting challenges and broader systemic effects1. In fact, the U.S. microbiome has lost over 30% of its bacterial diversity — mainly due to antibiotics and poor diet2, 3.
