Your Daily Defense, Made Simple
Microplastics are everywhere—in the food we eat, the water we drink, and even the air we breathe. Scientists are now detecting these particles throughout the human body. While researchers continue studying their long-term health effects, one thing is clear: Plastic Doesn't Belong in Your Body™.

What the images show
The source presents fluorescence microscopy of intestinal cells exposed to nanoplastics, with and without Qi601 treatment.
These are different microscope fields. This display is not a longitudinal scan or a quantification of binding.
What the percentage describes
The percentage should describe the specific laboratory binding endpoint approved by your scientific team. Binding and retention are related, but they are not interchangeable endpoints.
*The percentage refers to a laboratory finding under specified simulated digestive conditions. It does not establish removal of the same percentage of plastics from the human body, blood, lungs, brain, or breast milk. Laboratory findings are not a guarantee of clinical outcomes.
How It Works
Traps. Binds. Clears.
A simple daily ritual that creates an advanced biological defense system within your gut that traps, binds and clears micro and nonoplastics.
1
Take One Capsule Daily
Simply take one capsule with water each morning. My Gut Guardian goes to work immediately in your digestive system.
2
Biofilm Shield™ Forms
Our patented postbiotic-derived forumla forms a protective Biofilm layer in your gut - a biological barrier against microplastics.
3
Traps & Binds Plastics
Like a magnet, the Biofilm Shield™ captures micro and nanoplastic particles before they can interact with your body.
4
Naturally Eliminated
Your body safely flushes the bound plastic particles through normal digestion. Clean, simple, daily protection.
The World's First
Designed To DEFEND
BIOFILM SHIELD™ TECHNOLOGY
Proprietary postbiotic-derived technology designed to create a protective biofilm environment in the digestive tract.
TARGETS MICROPLASTICS
Purpose-built to bind plastic particles in the digestive system — not a general-purpose detox formula.
DESIGNED FOR NANOPLASTIC EXPOSURE
Designed to interact with both microplastic and smaller nanoplastic particles as part of its targeted binding approach.
ONCE-DAILY GUT SUPPORT
One capsule a day provides ongoing postbiotic support while fitting easily into your everyday routine.
NON-LAXATIVE DAILY USE
No harsh laxatives, stimulants or aggressive cleanses. Designed for gentle, consistent daily use.
BUILT FOR CONTINUOUS EXPOSURE
Because plastic exposure happens every day, My Gut Guardian was created as an ongoing defense — not an occasional cleanse.
PEER-REVIEWED RESEARCH ON Qi601
New peer-reviewed research published in Frontiers in Microbiology evaluated Qi601 and its ability to physically associate with micro- and nanoplastics.
The study found that Qi601 sequestered nanoplastics under simulated digestive conditions and reduced their interaction with intestinal epithelial cells. Researchers also demonstrated proof-of-concept physical association between Qi601 and microplastic particles in a human oral experiment.
World's First Human Clinical Trial for Microplastic Protection
Qi601® is derived from an inactivated Lactobacillus fermentum strain cultivated to form self-aggregating biofilm macrostructures approximately 200µm in diameter.
In laboratory tissue experiments, Qi601 binds micro and nanoplastics, preventing their interaction with colonic epithelial cells. These non-absorbable particles provide effective gut-level plastic sequestration.
Under simulated gastric conditions, Qi601 retained up to 98% of introduced nanoparticles, demonstrating real-world binding capability even in stomach acid.

FAQ
Common Questions
What is My Gut Guardian and how does it work?
Powered by a patented Biofilm Shield™, Qi601™ uses a probiotic strain to form a natural, adhesive layer in the stomach, trapping up to 98% of micro- and nanoplastics and safely clearing them through digestion.
What are the key ingredients?
Qi601 is a safe, non-living product made from a heat-treated probiotic (Lactobacillus fermentum) that naturally clumps together. My Gut Guardian is taken orally. In laboratory studies on human colonic epithelial cells, CaCO2, Qi601 selectively binds microplastics and nanoplastics preventing them from attaching to the human cells.
Is there a clinical study behind this product?
Yes. Qi601® is backed by over 12 years of research, 50+ patents, and has been through the world's first human clinical trial demonstrating protection from microplastics. In lab studies, it bound up to 98% of microplastic particles in simulated gastric conditions.
How do I take My Gut Guardian?
Take one capsule daily with water. Consistency is key for optimal protection.
Are there any allergens?
No
What is your refund policy?
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied for any reason, contact our support team for a full refund — no questions asked.
PLASTIC EXPOSURE HAPPENS EVERY DAY.
YOUR DEFENSE SHOULD TOO.
We live in a Plastic World.
