MUSCLE OUT infection-causing gut bugs with this ‘immunity nutrient’
If you’ve been PLAGUED by chronic infections…
And your doc has put you on one round after another of antibiotics to try to clear them…
It’s time to STOP this vicious cycle.
Because all those drugs are doing is HARMING your natural gut defenses…
When what you SHOULD be doing is ARMING them for war!
If probiotics on their own aren’t offering you IRON-CLAD protection…
There’s something else you can try.
The science on this is brand-new… and it’s one of the most exciting developments in our understanding of gut immunity!
Belly boot camp
Turns out, there’s a “wonder molecule” that can offer long-term protection against future infections…
And it works by helping our bodies “remember” when we were sick before… and help rally the troops to keep it from happening again!
Now, you might think that this is how the immune system is SUPPOSED to work. And it DOES… but not ALL THE TIME.
Many infections become REPEAT OFFENDERS… because we don’t build up natural antibodies.
But according to the latest research, our bodies have a BACK-UP PLAN…
And it’s in our guts.
According to a study from multiple branches of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), our “secret weapon” is taurine – a substance that German scientists first isolated from a bull (in Latin, taurus) in 1827.
Since that time, we’ve discovered this “meat nutrient” in MANY different types of animals.
It’s even present in our own bodies – including in the gut’s bile acids, where it helps us digest fats and oils.
Now, I’ve shared with you before how much of our natural defense mechanisms are actually centered in our guts… specifically in our microbiome of gut flora.
This new study reveals one way that might work.
You see, when we can maintain high levels of taurine in our guts, these molecules give off a byproduct, called hydrogen sulfide.
This is a gas that’s POISONOUS to harmful gut bacteria… and can help keep the “bad bugs” in check.
I’m talking about some of the bugs responsible for “food poisoning”… like Salmonella and E. coli… plus the main culprit behind gut ulcers, H. pylori.
But that’s not all.
Taurine could ALSO help offer protection OUTSIDE of the gut – like against Klebsiella pneumoniae, a bacterium that causes pneumonia, meningitis, and more.
Yet if you let your taurine levels dip too low… that could open to the door to bad bugs setting up shop… and REFUSING to leave!
Now, taurine can do even more than just CHASE the infection-causing bacteria away with its poison gas.
It ALSO works like a drill sergeant on the beneficial bacteria – TRAINING them to RESIST subsequent infections.
Even ONE mild infection could be enough to TRIGGER this adaptation to help STAVE OFF the next infection.
Compare that to antibiotics… which WIPE OUT the good bacteria with the bad!
Now, most of our bodies can manufacture our own supply of taurine from amino acids…
But our natural levels of taurine decrease with age.
And certain drugs and conventional cancer treatments… like chemo and radiation… can DRAIN you of your taurine supply, too.
But with the right foods and supplements, you can RESTORE your supply of taurine.
Taurine-rich foods include poultry (dark meat turkey and chicken), shellfish (scallops, mussels, clams), eggs, and dairy.
You’ll find taurine as a supplement in capsule form… sometimes labeled as L-taurine… or in liquid form.
