Lectin Shield
Lectins are a protein present in many plant-based foods we eat. They can interfere with your digestion, energy, and overall health. Lectin Shield is a unique blend of potent compounds designed to help your body eliminate these toxic proteins.
- Promotes regularity and pleasant bathroom visits
- Helps reduce feelings of gas and bloating
- Aids against out-of-control food cravings
Suggested Use
Take 2 capsules, twice a day, with 2 of your largest meals.
What’s in Lectin Shield?
Product Description
This groundbreaking new formula was created to offset the discomforting effects of proteins commonly found in plants that make them harder to digest. These foods pervade the typical American diet and it can be difficult to maintain a completely lectin free diet. This is where Lectin Shield comes in. Lectin Shield works to support your body from a pile-up of lectins and to promote full-body comfort.
- Supports intestinal health.
- Helps reduce instances of gas and bloating.
- Helps curb cravings for lectin foods and encourages digestive strength.
SHIELDING YOUR BODY FROM HARMFUL PLANT PROTEINS
The 9 potent ingredients in Lectin Shield act together to give your body full anti-lectin support making it easier for you every time you eat lectin foods.
Several of the components found in Lectin Shield help counteract the distressing effects of lectins. Some of the ingredients even have useful antioxidant and anti-fatigue properties.
AND NOW YOU CAN ACCESS THE POWER OF THESE INGREDIENTS IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN KITCHEN.
Simply take two capsules, twice a day, with two of your largest meals. That’s all you have to do to start easing the discomfort of digestion.
GUNDRY MD LECTIN SHIELD: 9 LECTIN-BLOCKING INGREDIENTS
Now, let’s look a little closer at each of the 9 ingredients in Lectin Shield and how they work on certain foods containing lectins…
N Acetyl D-Glucosamine
N Acetyl D-Glucosamine binds to harmful lectins from wheat.1 Since wheat lectins have been associated with joint problems, this wheat lectin blocker is also a popular ingredient in joint health supplements.2
Bladderwrack
Bladderwrack, a powerful seaweed, has been shown in studies to bind to dangerous, inflammatory lectins.3
D-Mannose
D-Mannose is a potent natural compound that binds to specific lectins in legumes, a lectin rich food.4
Okra (Fruit)
Okra is your source for raw polysaccharide (RPS), a powerful compound that binds to multiple toxic lectins.7 As a concentrated source of polyphenols, okra extract has been shown to have powerful antioxidant and anti-fatigue properties.8
Mucin
Mucin helps to form a slippery protective barrier inside your digestive tract.9 Not to mention, the sialic acid in mucin binds to multiple sources of foods containing lectins, including those found in wheat and several types of berries.10
Sodium Alginate
When you’re dealing with lectin-based digestive problems, sodium alginate can be your best friend. It also acts as a “fecal bulking agent,” which can help make bathroom visits much more pleasant and less frantic.11
Vegetable Peptase
When you eat lectins they inhibit peptidase, an important enzyme your body uses to break down proteins in your food, spelling trouble for your digestive tract.12 So, I’ve included vegetable peptase in Lectin Shield to assist your protein digestion and counteract the digestive effects of lectins.
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM)
I mentioned earlier that foods containing lectins, particularly wheat lectins, have been tied to joint discomfort.13 MSM has been shown to be a powerful agent for helping to reduce joint discomfort — especially if you use it in combination with N-Acetyl D Glucosamine above.14
Larch Arabinogalactans
Arabinogalactans have been shown to increase butyrate production in gut bacteria.15 Butyrate nourishes your gut lining, which is your first line of defense against lectins and other harmful substances you unknowingly eat.16
A NOTE FROM DR. GUNDRY…
I formulated Gundry MD Lectin Shield with these 9 cutting-edge ingredients specifically to…
- nourish your gut lining (helps prevent “Leaky Gut”)
- form a protective barrier in your GI tract
- help make bathroom habits more “regular”
- support your immune system
- help your body process protein for energy
- reduce your overall appetite
- help relieve joint discomfort
…and help you get the body you want, the energy you deserve, and the vitality you know is inside – just waiting to break free*.

For many years now, understanding the effects of lectin toxicity has been a passion project of mine. I’ve seen the damage lectins have done to my patients firsthand – and I know what’s at stake.
But since I developed this product and began encouraging a lectin free diet, I’ve seen so many patients at my clinic experience incredible breakthroughs in weight loss, heart health, and immune function.
I’d like to let you hear from just a few real Lectin Shield users…
“…. Within 2 weeks of using Lectin Shield I have been able to walk 3-4 miles and I have noticed the increase in energy. I almost feel like my overall attitude has changed as well. I can tackle more house chores and don’t have to nap for hours at a time. If this is just cutting the surface to better health down the line, these products will be staples in my home like toilet paper and toothpaste, a necessity not a want.” *
— Christy V.
“I haven’t felt this good in maybe 10 years. I wake up feeling refreshed and full of energy, sleep so much better, I have lost 5 lbs (with) no dieting… The past 5 weeks have me feeling incredible. Thank you Dr. Gundry for this super product.” *
— Brian B.
“I can tell the difference, if I forget to take (Lectin Shield), my digestive tract is very upset. When I do take it, I feel satisfied and full, no digestive issues. Thank you Dr. Gundry for helping those of us who thought our days of sharing a meal in public was over.” *
— Julie Anne M.
Based on extensive user group data – as well as reviews from hundreds of verified customers – the results are clear…
Lectin Shield helps you suppress your appetite, maintain a lectin free diet, support your digestive system and reduce those feelings of occasional joint aches.
In fact, Gundry MD Lectin Shield is the most significant medical innovation I’ve developed to date.
I feel very strongly about that, and now I want to put it in your hands.

Lectin Shield great for my life
Spencer –
With a busy life style, it’s hard to eat right all the time. And to have a Lectin free diet is impossible for me. So it’s nice to know that with Lectin Shield I can still balance my digestive system.
