WHAT DOES IT DO?
According to the manufacturer:
"A Natural Defense Against the Hidden Causes of Food Intolerance
Some people can tell when a particular food they ate disagreed with them and they will avoid it, while others have been eating foods that have been slowly eroding their health without noticing it because they have become used to the low grade inflammation in their GI tracts. Many common symptoms are really the result of the lectin interactions with our immune systems. An example of a common lectin that many have heard of is gluten or gliadin. Some of the post-meal reactions to lectins are:
Headaches, brain fog, lack of concentration
Skin problems such as itchiness, eczema, and acne
Water retention, puffiness around the eyes, extremities
Bloating a very common symptom
Easy weight gain and stubborn weight loss
Chronic fatigue and post-meal fatigue
Chronically clearing throat and excess mucous
Respiratory symptoms like chronic, (non-illness) coughing
Joint stiffness and pain (particularly in the morning)
Urinary weakness or chronic inflammation or infection
Abdominal pain and gas with meals, excessive belching (lectins can also lower the HCL levels impairing digestion)
Gastric reflux and upset stomach
Irritable bowel and spastic colon
Hyperactivity
Sinus problems, itchy nose, congestion and post-nasal drip
Insulin shifts affecting blood sugar balance
Lectins are specialized proteins commonly found in fruits, vegetables, and seafood, and especially in grains, beans and seeds. They are not degraded by stomach acid or proteolytic enzymes, making them virtually resistant to digestion. Certain lectins consumed in everyday foods can bind to cells in the gut and to blood cells, initiating an inflammatory response and contributing to such problems as digestive disorders, weight gain, post-meal fatigue and immune challenges. Lectin Lock is a unique blend designed to lock up problematic lectins and safely escort them out of the body. Take with every meal for better health now as part of a program of prevention for the future."
