Q: What is GP-Shield?

A:  Since lactoferrin is a protein, it can lose its potency during its transit through the acidic stomach environment. Abrexin™ tablets feature a special coating called GP-Shield™, that insulates lactoferrin from acid breakdown and safely delivers the Abrexin™ tablet to your intestines where it begins to work.

Q: If the tablet coating does not break down in the stomach, how does it break down in the intestines?

A:  A critical feature of Abrexin is its GP-Shield™ coating, which escorts Abrexin’s lead active ingredient through the otherwise degrading, unfriendly stomach acid compartment. GP-Shield™ is acid-resistant, and yet when it enters the alkaline compartment of the upper small intestine, it breaks down and delivers Abrexin’s natural bioactive duo of lactoferrin and Bioperine.
