LABIFY Gut Shield - capsules, 60 capsules

Gut Shield is a dietary supplement from LABIFY in a package of 60 capsules. Sodium butyrate 450 mg with colostrum and lactoferrin, in a formula aimed at the intestinal barrier. The daily portion is 2 capsules daily, on an empty stomach or before a meal; it can be divided into 2 doses, which with this packaging gives 30 days of use, so the stock calculation is done automatically. The manufacturer recommends taking it on an empty stomach or before a meal and explicitly states the presence of milk in the composition.

The composition and dosage come from the manufacturer’s product catalog, and the manufacturer declares independent laboratory tests at J.S. Hamilton, compliance with the declared composition, and the absence of heavy metals. The manufacturer is LABIFY Sp. z o.o., Olivia Centre, Gdańsk, and the preparation belongs to its catalog divided into lines: body and immunity, energy and endurance, mind and calm, intestines and microbiome, single vitamins, and minerals and functional gummies.

Ingredients

Active ingredients in the daily portion, according to the manufacturer’s catalog:

• Sodium butyrate 450 mg
• Colostrum (bovine colostrum) 200 mg, including IgG 60 mg
• Lactoferrin (90%) 95 mg

Colostrum is provided here with a breakdown that is usually missing: 200 mg of bovine colostrum, including 60 mg of immunoglobulin IgG. Lactoferrin is provided with a purity of 90% at 95 mg of raw material. The manufacturer describes sodium butyrate as microencapsulated, which has practical significance, as it determines in which section of the digestive tract the capsule is released. The formula contains milk, and this is an allergen information, not cosmetic.

Three entries in such lists are worth knowing how to read, as they determine the comparison of preparations. The abbreviation RWS means the reference intake value, which is the daily amount taken as a reference point on food labels; values above one hundred percent are not an error and are normal for some vitamins, but they only speak about the ratio to this point, not about how much you specifically need.

The percentage next to the plant extract usually indicates standardization or purity of the raw material, not the content per portion, and these two things are often confused. The trade name of the raw material written with a trademark indicates a specific material from a specific supplier, not a general category of the ingredient.

It is also worth looking at the chemical form, as the same ingredient name hides different forms: vitamin B6 occurs as P-5-P or as pyridoxine hydrochloride, magnesium as citrate, malate, or oxide, and chromium as picolinate or chloride. The manufacturer provides these forms in the list, and they, along with the actual weight, determine what you are dealing with.

For whom

The manufacturer targets this preparation to individuals who meet one of the three descriptions below, and it is worth treating them as a starting point, not a promise. The manufacturer recommends taking it on an empty stomach or before a meal and explicitly states the presence of milk in the composition. The formula is ready, and you cannot change the proportions, so if you care about controlling a single ingredient, separate preparations will give you more freedom. In return, you get one package instead of several.

One intake scheme remains to remember. A 30-day package is a period in which you can usually assess whether the preparation suits you, without committing to it for longer. It is also worth checking if any of the ingredients duplicate what you are already taking separately, as with complex formulas it is easy to unintentionally double the dose.

The product is a dietary supplement, does not replace a varied diet or specialist advice, and is not intended to diagnose any health condition.

• You want to take care of your gut health and immunity as a whole
• You need support during or after antibiotic therapy
• You have irritable bowel syndrome or are on a low-residue diet
