ION* Gut Support
-
- Usage InstructionsAdults and Children 4 and Over:
For general gut health, we recommend 1 teaspoon of ION* Gut Support taken orally 3x/day. Optimal gut support is achieved when taken 30 minutes prior to meals because of ION* Gut Support's protective effects against gluten and glyphosate, but you can take it immediately before, with, or after a meal, (or on an empty stomach) and still receive benefit.
Sensitive Adult Usage:Results can vary with initial ION* Gut Support usage, with many customers reporting rapid and profound early results. These results are not the direct effects of the supplement itself, but instead reflect the innate process that occurs in a body as the firewall system is optimally up and running.
There is a subset of individuals, however, that can experience symptoms of tiredness, headache, bloating/increased gas, or bowel changes. If you feel you may be sensitive to these issues, we suggest a slower approach. Start with 1/8 teaspoon of ION* Gut Support daily, increasing usage slowly, as tolerated, to get to recommended label usage.
- What is ION* Gut Support and how does it work?
ION* Gut Support is an all-natural liquid gut health supplement that goes beyond probiotics to strengthen cells in the gut lining and diversify your microbiome naturally.
It is made with humic extract, trace minerals, sea salt, and filtered water.
Gut Support is soil derived, U.S. sourced, vegan, and certified glyphosate residue free. Its active ingredient, humic extract is sourced from ancient soil (roughly 60 million years old) and is a bacterial metabolite (a byproduct of the bacterial digestion of ancient plant matter) that strengthens tight junction integrity, fosters nutrient absorption, and provides a gentle daily detox by chelating waste out of cells.
The humic molecules in ION* Gut Support bind with minerals, amino acids, etc. to help transport them into cells where they are needed, and bind to toxins and other waste to transport them out of the cell.
But the truly extraordinary thing about ION* Gut Support? Gut Support naturally works to give each cell what is needed and remove what is not. In truth, we couldn't replicate this kind of inherent wisdom if we tried. Nature is the spark behind this innovative molecule. And it is as a nod to that very wisdom that we are so named, ION* Intelligence of Nature.
- How is ION* Gut Support unique?
Unlike traditional probiotics, which introduce one or two species of bacteria into your gut, ION* Gut Support empowers your body to naturally strengthen your gut lining and support a healthy, diverse microbiome. It works at the cellular level, sealing the gut to defend against toxins, enhance digestion, and support nutrient absorption. With no added bacteria, this glyphosate-free, easy-to-take supplement adapts to your body’s unique needs—helping you feel healthier from the inside out.
- Is ION* Gut Support similar to probiotics or enzymes?
ION* Gut Support is not a prebiotic, a probiotic, or a direct source of enzymes. It contains zero bacteria. In fact, we need a much more diverse microbiome than one can achieve by replicating the same strands of foreign bacteria over and over (this monoculture can happen when we take probiotics).
ION* Gut Support is unique in that it naturally enhances the diversity of your individual microbiome by strengthening your gut barrier.
- Is sediment and variation in color normal?
Yes, every product in the ION* Support Line is all natural and soil derived; the color, taste, and amount of sediment in each bottle can vary. It is neither abnormal nor harmful.
- Do any of the ION* Support Line products need to be refrigerated?
No, all of the products in the ION* Support Line are shelf stable and do not require refrigeration.
- Are there any contraindications with ION* Gut Support?
There are no known contraindications with ION* Gut Support. However, for maximum efficacy of all products, we do suggest separating by 60 minutes if you are taking ASEA, a thyroid medication, iodine, or a binder supplement.
Iodine is a highly-charged element that can bind to negatively-charged elements in ION* Gut Support. Also, certain "binder" supplements (clay, charcoal, and zeolites) recommend taking separately from any nutrition, food, or supplements.
ION* Gut Support strengthens healthy gut membranes. This support can return expected drug absorption to normal levels and may improve bioavailability of your supplements and food nutrients. If you are on a medication that requires blood level testing to adjust the dose (such as blood thinners or seizure medications) you should discuss ION* Gut Support with your doctor, who may want to get testing done within a week of starting ION* Gut Support, as you would do with a diet change or adding other mineral supplements.
None of the minerals or amino acids in ION* Gut Support are present in levels that would be considered adequate to allow ION* Gut Support to replace other standard mineral therapies, such as Lithium orotate or your regular multi-mineral supplement, in your health management.
- Can I take ION* Gut Support while pregnant or nursing?
While we know of no contraindications during pregnancy, we would recommend consulting your healthcare provider, before continuing, or starting ION* Gut Support while pregnant or nursing.
- What does ION* Gut Support do?
ION* Gut Support strengthens tight junction integrity at the gut lining, which protects the immune and neurologic systems and regulates the delivery of water and nutrients to the body.
As demonstrated in our peer reviewed articles, Gut Support also defends against toxins like glyphosate and gluten, which can degrade tight junctions in the epithelial layer of the gut lining by strengthening the integrity of this barrier. With a strong gut lining digestion, immune function, and nutrient absorption are improved.
- Why should I be taking ION* Gut Support?
Currently, 80% of the population suffers from gas, bloating, indigestion, and heartburn, with a good majority stemming from poor gut health. But when you factor in the inflammation and dysbiosis caused by things like glyphosate, digestive issues are just the tip of the iceberg.
Rather than address specific medical conditions with narrowly-targeted pills, ION* Gut Support takes a holistic approach and helps maintain the strength of our gut barrier to foster smooth digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune health.
- What are tight junctions?
Tight junctions are the seals between the cells in your gut lining. They act like gatekeepers, controlling what gets absorbed into your body and what stays out. When tight junctions are strong, they keep toxins and harmful particles out of your bloodstream while letting nutrients through.
But everyday stressors like glyphosate (a common herbicide), processed foods, alcohol, and even stress can weaken tight junctions—leading to what's often called a "leaky gut."
ION* Gut Support works by supporting strengthening tight junctions to keep your gut barrier sealed and resilient—just like nature intended.
- What is glyphosate and why is it harmful?
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the most commonly used weed killers, including Roundup. These weed killers are used broadly in agriculture and found in varying quantities throughout our environment. The volume of usage of this herbicide has led to reports of significant levels of glyphosate in water, air, rainfall, and even human breast milk. The World Health Organization classified glyphosate as a "probable human carcinogen", and it is implicated in a wide variety of human health disorders.
ION* Gut Support functions as a response to glyphosate impact by improving the gut lining's ability to keep out this and other detrimental toxins.
- Is ION* FDA approved?
Dietary supplements are never FDA approved. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, dietary supplements fall under a different regulatory framework. The FDA does, however, regulate dietary supplements under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA), and ION* adheres strictly to these guidelines.
Further, as the regulatory landscape changes, we are constantly working to stay up-to-date with industry standards.
- Are all ION* products vegan?
Yes! All products in the ION* suite are vegan, naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, latex-free, sulfite-free, preservative-free, non-GMO, and certified glyphosate residue free.
- Does ION* test for Prop 65 metals?
In compliance with California's Prop 65 legislation, we test ION* Gut Support for levels of mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium. It is important to note, however, that metals are found naturally in soil. In fact, there are heavy metals everywhere, from the air we breathe to the food we eat. For example, candy can have 100-6000 ppm lead, and root vegetables can easily have about 2 ppm lead. Fish bodies can have 1-4 ppm mercury and rice in the US can have over 0.5 ppm arsenic.
Our limits are set low, and we typically see levels 10-fold less than those limits. The result? You would typically need to consume 100x the recommended dose to approach the Prop 65 No Significant Risk level.
Please note: 1 ppm = 1 ug/ml
- What does Gut Support taste like?
Many compare ION* Gut Support to plain water, with a mild earthy taste. The liquid naturally has a distinctive amber hue.
- Is ION* Intelligence of Nature the same as ION*Biome & RESTORE?
We did not change our formula with our latest brand refresh.
We captured lightning in a bottle with ancient soil-derived humic extract, the innovative and all-natural blend utilized across our entire product line. And while we have made great strides to improve messaging, package our product more sustainably, and create transparent labeling, we have no plans of altering what is actually in the bottle.
ION* Biome Gut Health is now ION*Gut Support

ION* Skin Support
-
- Usage Instructions
Mist ION* Skin Support on face, neck and chest twice daily. Use before applying other skin products, before and after sun exposure, or wherever your skin needs support. For best results, allow to dry or massage into skin before applying other skincare products.
- Sensitive Usage Instructions
If you feel you may be sensitive to the trace minerals or humic extract found in ION* Skin Support, please patch test to ensure there is no reaction. If you experience any adverse reactions from using ION* Skin Support, discontinue use and please contact our Customer Support Team as well as your dermatologist.
- Should I patch test ION* Skin Support?
Everyone's skin is different, and for any new skin product it is recommended that you patch test to ensure you will not have any adverse skin reactions.
Good spot/patch testing practices:
- Test on freshly cleansed skin.
- Test on your neck or inner arm.
- Test one new skin product at a time.
- Test for four or more days to ensure you do not develop a hypersensitivity reaction.
- What is the expiration date for Skin Support?
Please see the "best by" date on the bottom of your bottle or carton.
- Does ION* Skin Support need to be refrigerated?
No, all products in the ION* suite are shelf stable and do not require refrigeration.
- Where can I purchase ION* Skin Support?
As of right now, ION* Skin Support is exclusively available as a one-time purchase or as part of a subscription at intelligenceofnature.com.
- What is ION* Skin Support?
ION* Skin Support is an all-natural, soil-derived spray utilizing our innovative Terrahydrite® blend, combined with various bio-available minerals including Silicon as Monomethylsilanetriol, Zinc Gluconate, Copper Gluconate, and Magnesium Citrate. ION* Skin Support is scientifically proven to strengthen your barrier against toxins, support a healthy response to the sun, and improve hydration. It is microbiome-friendly as well as fragrance and dye-free.
- How is ION* Skin Support different from ION* Gut Support?
In addition to the humic extract blend utilized in our Gut Support formula, ION* Skin Support includes bioavailable Silicon as Monomethylsilanetriol, Zinc Gluconate, Copper Gluconate, and Magnesium Citrate. It is a synergistic blend specially formulated for keratinocytes, the primary cells which form the skin barrier.
- What does ION* Skin Support do?
ION* Skin Support is designed to support skin function as a barrier and as a balanced terrain for your microbiome. By supporting a terrain that can host hundreds of millions of beneficial microbiota, you can help foster your innate gut-brain-skin connection.
ION* Skin Support also helps defend against toxins by maintaining the tight junctions in the skin, supports a healthy response to the sun by lowering the amount of reactive oxygen species that result from exposure to UVB rays, and improves overall skin hydration by supporting your microbiome.
- How will I know if it's working?
You may notice an improvement in texture, elasticity, hydration, smoothness, or circulation and/or a reduction in redness after a few weeks of regular ION* Skin Support use.
Further, when your skin functions properly, it supports many other functions, as the skin is deeply connected to the hormone system, the immune system, and the nervous system. Because of these connections, you may notice benefits that go far beyond what you expected. Pay attention to your overall sense of wellbeing as you use ION* Skin Support.
- For how long should I use ION* Skin Support?
With ION* supporting your body's barrier protection from UVB rays and environmental toxins, it should be used as long as those damaging elements are present. As ION* is a water-based product, it is quickly absorbed; use twice daily as instructed.
- How long until I will notice results from ION* Skin Support?
Noticeable changes in the skin vary and are dependent on your overall health, your skin health and your personal awareness of its appearance. Irritated or inflamed areas of your skin are where you will most likely notice the impact of ION* Skin Support first. Skin with callouses, or thick layers of skin, will likely be where noticeable changes will take the longest. Noticeable changes will also vary with skin age and exposure to sunlight and toxins.
- How long does one bottle last?
This can be a difficult question to answer with usage varying widely. However, based on an average use regimen for one person, an 8oz spray bottle should last about 10 weeks and a 3.4oz bottle should last roughly 1 month.
- Can I overuse ION* Skin Support?
Yes, applying ION* Skin Support substantially more than twice daily may result in some irritation. Further, it's important to remember that more is not necessarily better. We have no reason to believe that you will receive any more benefit from overuse of ION* Skin Support. Thorough coverage, twice daily, will provide the support your skin needs.
- How long should I wait before applying makeup or other skincare products?
You can apply makeup or lotions immediately following use of ION* Skin Support. We recommend either letting it dry naturally or gently patting dry and then applying other products.
- Is this a sunscreen? Can I use instead of sunscreen?
No. ION* Skin Support does not physically block UV rays or chemically alter our response to them. It should not be used as a sunscreen.
With daily use, however, ION* will help to balance the microbiome which supports healthy lipids (natural oils and waxes), making our skin less vulnerable to damaging rays. ION* Skin Support helps to achieve a balanced state of ROS which means less ROS is acting to damage and kill cells.
- Can I use this on my baby's diaper rash?
No, we do not recommend ION* Skin Support for babies due their highly sensitive skin.
- Can I use ION* Skin Support on eczema, rosacea, vitiligo, or any other specific skin conditions?
Because the skin is influenced by the state of the nervous and endocrine systems as well as the microbiome, the cause of skin conditions is quite complex and depends on the individual.
While we cannot make claims related to specific skin conditions, we suggest applying ION* Skin Support to your external barrier as well as taking ION* Gut Support to promote immune health inside and out.
Many skin conditions are an immune response to environmental toxins or insults (like UV rays) resulting in inflammation. ION* Gut Support bolsters your immune system by improving intracellular communication. ION* Skin Support strengthens the barrier of epithelial cells that separates you from the outside world, improving your body's ability to respond to environmental toxins and/or damaging levels of UV rays.

This helps your pet with digestion, kidney function, and immune response. By strengthening the gut lining, the foundation of health, you can truly support head to tail wellness for your cat or dog.
- How is ION* Gut Support For Pets different from the human ION* Gut Support formula?
ION* Gut Support For Pets is specially formulated for canines and felines and includes silicon. Silicon, not commonly found in pet food, supports structure in the body from the cellular level to the muscular-skeletal level. It is an essential element for healthy connective tissues, especially in the bone and cartilage of animals.

Yes, all of the packaging for the +Plus Line (including stick packs and all bag sizes) is designed to be eco-friendly and fully compostable! The films we use are crafted from natural materials, including cassava, wood pulp, and beetroot. Even our zippers and degassing valves are made from renewable dent corn. Everything is PFAS-free and holds either a home or industrial compostability rating, meaning it will biodegrade in a compost environment—whether at home or in a commercial facility. With the help of microorganisms, it breaks down into water and carbon dioxide, leaving no toxic residue behind. We also use plant-based ink to keep our packaging as environmentally friendly as possible!

- Can I take +Focused Mind before bedtime? How close to bed can I take it?
We recommend using +Focused Mind when you need enhanced focus, concentration, or mental clarity during the day, particularly during the midday slump, around 2pm.
Use +Focused Mind no later than 6 hours before your usual bedtime and adjust if needed. For those sensitive to caffeine, no later than 8 hours before bedtime may be best.
- Will I experience any jitters or crashes with +Focused Mind?
Due to the low-caffeine, no added sugar, and emphasis on whole-food botanicals of +Focused Mind, most people should not experience any jitters or crashes. Further, adaptogenic herbs like KSM-66® Ashwagandha and holy basil can help modulate the body's stress response and promote a sense of calm without sedation. These ingredients may counteract the potential jitteriness or crash associated with stimulants by promoting a more balanced and sustained energy level.
However, the likelihood of experiencing jitters or a crash with +Focused Mind depends on several factors, including individual sensitivity to stimulants and other ingredients. If you feel you may be sensitive, start with half a packet of +Focused Mind and assess your individual response before gradually increasing as needed.
Additionally, paying attention to how your body reacts and adjusting your intake accordingly can help minimize the risk of experiencing jitters or a crash. If you're concerned about potential side effects or interactions with +Focused Mind, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.

Prepare +Restful Sleep with anywhere from 1-6 ounces of cold or hot water and then add 1 tsp of ION* Gut Support. +Restful Sleep can also be personalized to suit individual taste preferences. We particularly like one packet of +Restful Sleep mixed with 6 ounces of warmed nut milk, with a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and 1 tsp of ION* Gut Support.
- Do I have to take this with ION* Gut Support?
No, it’s not essential. However, we recommend adding 1 tsp of ION* Gut Support to your nightly dose of +Restful Sleep to maintain holistic gut-brain and sleep health.
- Will +Restful Sleep cause grogginess or drowsiness the next day?
+Restful Sleep is a gentle approach to sleep health and does not use the kind of pharmaceuticals that generally cause grogginess.
However, if you do experience morning grogginess, it likely has more to do with not getting full sleep cycles during rest. A consistent sleep routine (going to bed at the same time every night and waking up at the same time every day) as well as getting the right amount of sleep for you, can help mitigate morning grogginess.
- How long does it take for +Restful Sleep to start working?
We recommend 15 to 30 minutes to allow +Restful Sleep to take effect.
- Will I become dependent on +Restful Sleep for sleep?
While none of the ingredients used in +Restful Sleep are habit-forming, it's important to note that habit formation can vary from person to person and is influenced by factors such as individual biology, psychological tendencies, and patterns of use. If you have concerns about dependency or addiction, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional.
- What is the age recommendation for +Restful Sleep?
While the ingredients in +Restful Sleep are gentle and all natural, it is not intended for children under 12. We recommend consulting with a physician for use in children 12 and over.
- Is +Restful Sleep suitable for pregnant/breastfeeding women?
We recommend consulting your healthcare provider, before starting ION* Gut Support +Restful Sleep while pregnant or nursing.
- Can I take +Restful Sleep on an empty stomach?
+Restful Sleep can be taken with food or on an empty stomach. It will not be diluted or ineffective if taken with a meal.
- What is a good protocol if I want to take all three ION* Plus Line products?
If you would like to stack all three products in the ION* Plus Line, you can take +Vital Immunity with your first meal of the day, +Focused Mind around 12-1 pm (30 min ahead of typical slump), and +Restful Sleep roughly 30 minutes before bed. A good approach would be 5 days on, 2 days off to help with the efficacy of the products.
- What if I forget to take it before bedtime? Can I take it in the middle of the night without feeling tired in the morning?
If your sleep routine is disturbed and you're up in the middle of the night, your sleep cycles have likely already been disrupted. This may cause grogginess in the morning regardless of what sleep aids you take and when you take them. We recommend taking +Restful Sleep 15-30 minutes before you would like to sleep to maintain a consistent sleep routine.
- Is the +Plus Line packaging eco-friendly?
Yes, all of the packaging for the +Plus Line (including stick packs and all bag sizes) is designed to be eco-friendly and fully compostable! The films we use are crafted from natural materials, including cassava, wood pulp, and beetroot. Even our zippers and degassing valves are made from renewable dent corn. Everything is PFAS-free and holds either a home or industrial compostability rating, meaning it will biodegrade in a compost environment—whether at home or in a commercial facility. With the help of microorganisms, it breaks down into water and carbon dioxide, leaving no toxic residue behind. We also use plant-based ink to keep our packaging as environmentally friendly as possible!

If an existing practitioner refers another practitioner to become an ION* reseller†, then both parties will receive a $100 credit towards their next ION* product purchase.
†The new practitioner must complete the application, be approved by our sales team, and place their opening order for either party to receive a $100 credit.

- Can the referral credits be stacked?
