Quicksilver Scientific Ultra Binder

Features and Benefits

• We are continuously being bombarded by toxins – from the air we breathe to the foods we eat, making toxicity a real modern-day health issue.
• Proper detoxification requires excretion of toxins from the body, and elimination through the gastrointestinal tract and stool is one of the most effective toxin elimination pathways. Binding agents are natural compounds that “catch” toxins in the gastrointestinal tract to aid in their removal, preventing reabsorption.
• Quicksilver Scientific Ultra Binder is a comprehensive combination of binding agents including activated charcoal, bentonite clay, chitosan, zeolite, and Quicksilver’s proprietary mercury-binding complex, IMD®. This broad-spectrum formulation binds to many toxins such as heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, hormone mimics, food additives, mould, and microbes for removal from the body.
• Quicksilver Scientific Ultra Binder is ideal for on-the-go detoxification support, providing powerful binding action to help eliminate toxins.

IMD (Proprietary thiol-functionalized silica) ## Ingredient Summary - **Activated charcoal:** Activated charcoal contains millions of tiny pores that capture toxins in the gut, including metals, bacterial lipopolysaccharides, and mycotoxins. It is well-tolerated and readily excreted in the stool.</li> - **Chitosan:** Chitosan is a water-soluble polysaccharide derived from the outer skeleton of shellfish. It binds heavy metals and microbes and may support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. - **Bentonite clay:** Bentonite clay is a creamy grey volcanic ash. Each molecule has a vast surface area capable of binding to numerous harmful substances, including heavy metals, mould toxins, and LPS, a pro-inflammatory bacterial byproduct. - **IMD intestinal cleanse:** Quicksilver Scientific’s proprietary mercury-binding complex contains thiol-functionalized silica molecules that elegantly and efficiently bind to mercury, facilitating its elimination through the gut while quenching intestinal inflammation. IMD does not enter the bloodstream and will not lead to a redistribution of metals throughout the body. - **Aloe vera:** Aloe vera contains acemannan, an oligosaccharide compound that soothes the gastric mucosa, normalises the gut flora, and alleviates potential constipation caused by other binders. - **Acacia gum:** Acacia gum is rich in soluble fibre, which helps normalise gut motility and enhances beneficial gut bacteria growth. ## Science and Research **Quicksilver Scientific Ultra Binder** is a universal, broad-spectrum binder blend that captures toxins, optimises gut health, lowers inflammation, and neutralises a wide array of harmful substances. This comprehensive formula intercepts and adheres to toxins that the body commonly encounters — including heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, endocrine disruptors, drug residues, food additives, as well as mould and bacterial toxins. The natural ingredients possess a demonstrated ability to function as antioxidants, reduce inflammation, promote healthy immune function, stimulate beneficial gut flora, increase mineral absorption, and reduce susceptibility to toxic xenobiotics.9,10 They have been shown to bind to and inactivate bacteria, fungi and viruses.11,12 The optimised combination of **bentonite clay, activated charcoal, chitosan** and Quicksilver Scientific’s proprietary mercury-binding complex, IMD Intestinal Cleanse, is enhanced with soothing, fluidising and mildly laxative **acacia gum** and **aloe vera**. Both acacia gum and aloe vera support the health of the intestinal lining, normal gut motility and the growth of friendly flora.13 Quicksilver Scientific Ultra Binder, with its one-of-a-kind formulation, acts like an extra organ of detoxification, enhancing homeostasis and preventing free radical generation.14</p> ### ENDOTOXIN: An Overlooked Cause Of Inflammation and Impaired Detoxification Eighty per cent of our immune system is located in the gut.15 Of particular concern in gut and systemic health is endotoxin, a lipopolysaccharide component of the cell wall of numerous gram-negative bacteria.16 Endotoxin-producing gram-negative bacteria can populate the intestinal tract, the urinary tract and the jaw in chronic infections. 17,18 In small amounts, endotoxins are tolerated, but when intestinal flora is imbalanced and the gut wall is inflamed 19, tight junctions become leaky.20 Large amounts of endotoxins can then be released and slip into systemic circulation 21, where they can become aggressively pro-inflammatory. 22,23,24 The inflammation from endotoxins shuts down key detoxification transporters and enzymes in the liver25,26,27,28, that normally prevent bacterial and dietary antigens from entering systemic circulation.29 This ongoing inflammation further increases susceptibility to toxins and xenobiotics.30 Binders—which increase enterosorption—are therefore a key strategy in downregulating inflammation and facilitating detoxification, both daily and in more intensive, focused regimens. In fact, according to animal research, enterosorption increases general detoxification capacity and even results in a marked increase in lifespan.14 However, an array of toxins must be captured for true enterosorption, and different natural binders have different affinities and capacities.31 The innovative blend in Ultra Binder® offers comprehensive coverage. ### ACTIVATED CHARCOAL: A Universal Antidote Ultrafine, activated charcoal contains millions of tiny pores that capture and remove positively charged toxins in the gastrointestinal tract, and thus charcoal has long been considered a universal antidote in acute and chronic poisoning.32,33,34 Charcoal is effective at removing metals35, bacterial endotoxins36, plant toxins and alkaloids, pharmaceuticals37, and gasses and vapors38, among other substances. Activated charcoal also binds and adsorbs bile salts, which accounts for its capacity to lower cholesterol.39,40 Charcoal’s adsorbent properties can spare the kidneys by binding to urinary toxins such as urea and indoxyl sulphate, limiting kidney damage.41 Charcoal is well tolerated and easily excreted in the faeces. ### CHITOSAN: A Powerful Binder That Supports Friendly Flora and Immune Function Chitosan is a water-soluble polysaccharide derived from the hard outer skeleton of shellfish; the long-chain sugar is devoid of allergens and has been extensively studied for its ability to lower cholesterol, including LDL, and reduce obesity.42,43,44,45 Chitosan is polyfunctional and binds metals 46 and microbes.47 The positive charge of chitosan oligosaccharides binds with negatively charged microbial cell membranes, accounting for its antimicrobial and antifungal properties.48</p>

It also supports friendly flora such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, and may help reduce obesity by reducing the phylum firmicutes (associated with weight gain). It is immunostimulatory and anti-inflammatory.49 Chitosan oligosaccharides improve the function of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), and have been shown to support immune function as well, increasing molecules such as IL-6, TNF-α, and IgG.50 Chitosan is particularly useful in addressing chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS), which is often activated by conjugated toxins from mould and algae and has been extensively described by Ritchie Shoemaker, MD.51,52 ### BENTONITE CLAY: A Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Binder That Aids Digestion Bentonite clay made from volcanic ash, known as “Montmorillonite”, is a creamy grey colour with an extremely soft and fine consistency. Due to the small particle size, bentonite clay has a vast surface area capable of binding to multiple harmful substances. Clay has extraordinary adsorptive properties and is rich in minerals, including silica, magnesium, sodium, calcium, iron, and potassium.53 Clay is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that binds mould toxins, heavy metals, microbes54 and various chemicals.55 Clay has been shown to specifically bind endotoxins and lipopolysaccharides 56. ### IMD INTESTINAL CLEANSE: Natural Elimination Of Metals Through The Intestines Intestinal Metals Detox (IMD) is a proprietary thiol-functionalized silica that delivers insoluble thiol groups to bind and eliminate mercury and other heavy metals accumulated in the intestines, as well as quenching free radicals. IMD’s actions enhance Phase III Detoxification, the final system of transporters leading out of the body. IMD consists of highly purified silica with covalently attached thionic metal-binding groups. Both the silica base and the binding agents are GRAS (Generally Recognised as Safe) for use in food. The specific chemistry of the compound has several benefits over other detoxification remedies, and the active binding groups out-compete other compounds for metals in the intestines. IMD does not enter the bloodstream and thus will not lead to redistribution or surges of mobilised metals that can potentially lead to kidney/liver overload. IMD intercepts methylmercury and other metals trapped in enterohepatic circulation, binding them and escorting them out of the intestines. By doing so, this allows organ and tissue-bound mercury to safely drain into the blood at a natural rate. The local action of quenching free radicals and elimination of metals supports intestinal health as both of these factors can contribute to intestinal inflammation. This is particularly significant with mercury from corroding dental amalgams or dietary sources, for example, the corrosion of amalgam mercury results in mercuric mercury (HgII, also called inorganic mercury) release. When swallowed with saliva, HgII can slow detoxifying transport proteins 57, and cause intestinal inflammation 58 that further impedes detoxification. The continuous removal of metals is critical for a successful practitioner-directed detoxification program. ### ALOE VERA AND ACACIA GUM: Soluble, Fluidising Substances To Improve Gut Motility And Health Aloe vera contains a glucose-rich, mannose-containing oligosaccharide called acemannan that is soothing to the gastric mucosa, normalising gastric flora, and supporting the immune system and tissue repair.61,62,63 Aloe also contains other polysaccharides and phenols that function as antioxidants64 and reduce the side effects of constipation normally associated with binders.65 Acacia gum has a long history of use in normalising gut motility and function. It is packed with soluble fibre—95% and offers unique benefits.66 Daily consumption of soluble fibre has been shown to increase levels of beneficial gut bacteria, support healthy cholesterol levels, soothe sensitive stomachs, help normalise gut transit time and both ease constipation and improve diarrhea, as well as have a beneficial effect on blood sugar, blood pressure and weight.67,68,69 Many of these benefits are correlated with the ability of the soluble fibre, such as acacia, to attract water and form a soothing gel. Fermentation of acacia gum in the gut by resident flora yields health-promoting metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids, which can stimulate the growth of lactic acid bacteria (lactobacilli and bifidobacteria).70,71,72 Acacia gum improves leaky gut and the gut barrier function73 and is well tolerated even at higher doses. **Information provided by this website or this company is not a substitute for individual medical advice.**
