Help minimise the potential for food intolerance
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.
Many of the common health problems that people complain of from day-to-day are related to the foods they consume. They do not often make the connection between how they feel and what they ate because often the reaction to food is not immediate and may appear over the course of several days. Lectin reactions are food intolerances and may cause true food allergies.
Genetic individuality determines our recognition of food as friend or foe and it is not based on the nutritional value of a food. For example, tomatoes contain lycopene, an important antioxidant, but tomatoes also contain a panhemagglutinin lectin (Lycopersicon esculentum agglutinin) that is not harmless. It lowers mucin, binds to blood cells, nerve tissue, and interferes with gastrin in the stomach creating problems in susceptible people. The same is true of many foods. Foods like corn, dairy, chicken, peas, bananas, beans and legumes, soy, potatoes, pomegranate, nuts, cantaloupe, seafood, wheat, millet, and many more, although they contain a variety of very healthful nutrients, they also contain potentially dangerous lectins that can be a problem for some people.
