Facing the Modern World
The entire inner lining of your body—covering areas like the mouth, nose, sinuses, lungs, gut, and urinary/reproductive tracts—is protected by a delicate membrane known as the mucosa. This critical barrier separates your bloodstream from everything you inhale and consume. Not only does it serve as a physical defense, but it also hosts the microbiome and houses 80% of your immune system.
The Mucosal Barrier
A healthy mucosal barrier maintains balance—allowing essential nutrients to be absorbed while keeping harmful substances from entering the body through the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink.
The gut mucosal barrier is made up of four key layers: the Gut Cell Barrier, Mucous Layer, Microbiome, and Immune Cells & Antibodies. However, modern living takes a toll on immunity at the mucosa. Every day, our bodies face a barrage of stressors—air pollution, pesticides in food and water, medications, stress, refined carbs, processed foods, and micronutrient deficiencies—that weaken this defense system, making it easier for harmful particles like viruses, bacteria, molds, allergens, and toxins to penetrate.
Gut Cell Barrier
This layer should act as a tightly sealed wall, absorbing nutrients while keeping out harmful particles. 1SCOOP's peptides strengthen this barrier, ensuring a robust, high-integrity gut wall.
Mucous Layer
This layer serves as the foundation for the microbiome to thrive. 1SCOOP Colostrum™ supports a thick, healthy mucous matrix, promoting optimal microbiome health.
Microbiome
The diverse population of microorganisms in the gut is essential for breaking down food, regulating hormones and brain chemicals, and influencing immune, gut, brain, hormonal, and metabolic health.
Immune Cells & Antibodies
These immune defenders patrol the gut lining, intercepting and neutralizing harmful particles for an additional layer of protection.
Immune System Protection
Daily exposures can do more than just make us feel unwell—they can overstimulate the immune system, leading to chronic inflammation. This inflammation is linked to a wide array of modern health issues, including autoimmune diseases, allergies, weight gain, bloating, digestive discomfort, brain fog, sleep problems, depression, and anxiety. In fact, over 1,000 studies have established this connection.
Even with our best efforts, it’s impossible to avoid all the environmental stressors we face. Without strong immune defenses, we become more vulnerable to these threats, which can negatively impact both our health and performance.
Innovating with 1SCOOP
Modern living takes a toll on the mucosal barrier. 1SCOOP Colostrum™ helps restore it.
1SCOOP Colostrum’s proprietary blend of bioactive nutrients from bovine colostrum strengthens the mucosal barrier and supports a balanced microbiome throughout the body. This naturally boosts mucosal immunity and promotes overall health and wellness.
