Toxins are everywhere.
They’re in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat.
They can be found in droves in the products we use to clean our house, and very often make up most of the personal care products we use.
Don’t even get us started on your favorite smart device – it can be loaded with enough bacteria to make you want to dust off your old rotary phone.
Everyday your body faces more toxins than you might realize… and if your toxin levels cross a threshold, it can spell bad news for you and your health.
Luckily, your body comes with a built-in toxin defense system…
And it may surprise you to know that at its core, this dense system is made of mucus.
Mucus: Your Best Bodily Defender
Your mucosal barrier – the thick, gluey layer of mucus lining your intestines – provides the most powerful shield against harmful invaders.
That’s the good news.
The bad news is that an especially devious toxin called lipopolysaccharide – or LPS toxin – knows just how to weaken your most powerful defenses.
And when LPS toxins do manage to compromise your mucosal barrier, they can cause all kinds of problems such as:
- Joint pain
- Extreme fatigue
- Bloating, gas, and abdominal pain
- Brain fog
- Depression
- Obesity
- Trouble fighting off infections
If you’ve been struggling with any of these or other health issues that just won’t go away, you may be dealing with an LPS toxin overload.
Supporting and fortifying your mucosa is critical for stopping those LPS toxins before they can do even more harm.
In fact, your path to wellness depends on a healthy and strong mucosal barrier. You simply can’t heal or feel your best without it!
Fighting Toxins Depends on Mucus
You may only think about mucus when you’re blowing your nose, but your body’s mucosa plays a critically important role in your immune system.
Mucus protects you by shielding your body from the many dangers of the outside world. It sets up a blockade called your mucosal barrier… the main obstacle pathogens and toxins face.
And the intestinal mucosal barrier – the layer of mucus that protects the lining of your gut – acts as your first line protector against harmful substances.
It’s the strength (or lack thereof) of your inte
