Kirkman® Biofilm Defense®
For those addressing complex gut health challenges, Kirkman® Biofilm Defense® offers an advanced, targeted tool. This unique enzyme formula is scientifically designed to help break down the sugar and fibrin components of biofilms, which can create an imbalanced intestinal environment. By supporting the disruption of these protective shields, Biofilm Defense® helps promote a healthy, balanced microbiome and optimal digestive function.
Important Allergen Information
This product contains Lysozyme derived from egg white. It is not suitable for individuals with an egg allergy.
The Kirkman® Ultra Tested® Purity Promise
Exceeding the Standards: Kirkman is a leader in creating supplements for individuals with special sensitivities. Our Ultra Tested® protocol means that every raw ingredient is tested for more than 950 environmental contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticides, plasticizers, and more, far exceeding regulatory requirements. This is your guarantee of one of the purest supplements available.
“Addressing intestinal biofilms is a critical step in many advanced gut health protocols. Unhealthy microorganisms can shield themselves from the immune system within a complex matrix. A formula like Kirkman’s Biofilm Defense, with its broad array of polysaccharidases and proteases like Serratiopeptidase, provides the specific enzymatic tools needed to help break down this protective matrix, which is essential for re-establishing a healthy microbial balance.”
What is a Biofilm? The Hidden Challenge to Gut Health
A biofilm is a structured community of microorganisms that encase themselves in a slimy, protective matrix. This matrix, made of sugars and proteins, allows them to adhere to surfaces—like the intestinal lining—and protects them from the immune system and other threats. By supporting the breakdown of this matrix, you can help support your body’s ability to maintain a healthy and diverse microbiome. To learn more, you can read about the role of biofilms in the gut microbiome from a review in the journal Gut Microbes.
A Unique Enzyme Blend to Break Down Biofilm Components
Our proprietary formula contains a synergistic blend of enzymes specifically chosen to degrade the different components of a biofilm’s structure:
- Polysaccharide-Digesting Enzymes: A powerful team including Glucoamylase, Cellulase, and Beta-Glucanase to break down the complex sugar structures.
- Lysozyme & Serratiopeptidase: Key enzymes that help break down other components of the biofilm matrix.
How to Use
For adults or children 4 years and older, take one (1) capsule daily, or as directed by a physician. For best results, take on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after a meal.
Important Safety Information
CONTAINS EGG. Do not use if you have an allergy to eggs. Consult your physician if you are pregnant or nursing, taking any medication, or have a medical condition. Do not use if the tamper-evident seal is broken or missing. Keep out of the reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a biofilm?
A biofilm is a protective shield created by a community of microorganisms to protect themselves. It’s made of a slimy matrix of sugars and proteins that can adhere to surfaces, like the lining of your gut, making it difficult for your immune system to address microbial imbalances.
How does this enzyme formula work?
It provides a broad range of specific enzymes that act like “scissors” to cut through the different components of the biofilm matrix. For example, cellulase breaks down cellulose, glucoamylase breaks down sugars, and other enzymes break down proteins, helping to dismantle the protective structure.
Why must I take it on an empty stomach?
Taking this enzyme formula away from food allows the enzymes to work systemically on the biofilms in your gut. If taken with food, the enzymes would simply be used to help digest your meal instead of their intended purpose.
