The Importance of Secretory IGA in Gut Health
Secretory IGA, also known as Secretory Immunoglobulin A, plays a crucial role in gut health and overall immune support. It is the main antibody in our gut mucus, saliva, tears, and other bodily fluids. Secretory IGA helps to protect against pathogens, maintain balance in the microbiome, and prevent sensitivities to food. Low levels of Secretory IGA can result in a compromised immune system and increased susceptibility to infections. On the other hand, high levels of Secretory IGA may indicate an active trigger, such as a pathogen or a food reaction. Mindset and belief work can play a significant role in supporting and increasing Secretory IGA levels. Positive emotions, self-compassion, and reducing exposure to negative images can all contribute to improved Secretory IGA levels. These practices have been shown to increase Secretory IGA, reduce cortisol levels, and improve overall health. While supplements, probiotics, and functional medicine modalities are also important, addressing mindset and emotions is crucial for long-term gut health and immune support.
