Microgard

Restore Your Gut. Rebuild Your Microbiome

Microgard by Botanical Biohacking is an Imperial-grade herbal formula designed to restore and maintain a healthy, diverse gastrointestinal microbiome. It promotes healthy digestion, dissolves phlegm and mucus, regulates fluid metabolism, breaks down biofilm, and inhibits adverse fungal overgrowth — all while gently stimulating the body’s own digestive enzyme production and intestinal motility.

For those living with chronic illness, fibromyalgia, autoimmune conditions, chronic Lyme, or long COVID, gut dysfunction is rarely just a digestive issue. Dysbiosis, biofilm, and pathological dampness create systemic effects — brain fog, fatigue, food sensitivities, and immune dysregulation — that Microgard addresses at the root.

Microgard is the maintenance formula — most patients begin with Microgard Plus for 1–2 months, then transition to Microgard for ongoing gut health support.

Who Microgard Is For

Traditionally used for relief from:

• Bloating, cramping, or fatigue after eating — especially in those with chronic illness or dampness patterns
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) — restores microbiome diversity and calms hypersensitive gut response
• Brain fog — clears the phlegm-dampness that clouds mental clarity in chronic illness
• Candida & fungal overgrowth — decreases candida yeast species and restores microbial balance
• Biofilm accumulation — breaks down the protective matrix that shields chronic pathogens from immune clearance
• Food sensitivities — including gluten sensitivity, greasy food intolerance, and alcohol sensitivity
• Poor nutrient absorption — stimulates amylase, lipase, and protease enzyme expression for better breakdown of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates
• Chronic digestive overload — “For when you eat something you shouldn’t have, or if your GI system is overloaded with the effects of chronic digestive problems.”
• Ongoing microbiome maintenance — ideal for long-term gut health support after completing a course of Microgard Plus

How Microgard Works

In TCM, chronic gut dysfunction is rooted in spleen qi deficiency with pathological dampness and phlegm accumulation. When the spleen and stomach are overwhelmed, they fail to transform and transport fluids and nutrients properly — feeding pathogens, clogging channels, and producing the systemic symptoms common in chronic illness.

Microgard works by:

• Strengthening spleen and stomach qi — restoring the body’s core digestive capacity
• Dissolving phlegm and dampness — clearing the accumulation that drives brain fog, fatigue, and bloating
• Breaking down biofilm — exposing hidden pathogens to immune clearance
• Inhibiting fungal overgrowth — restoring microbial balance without harming beneficial flora
• Stimulating natural enzyme production — amylase, lipase, and protease for complete nutrient breakdown
• Gently increasing gastric motility — supporting regular elimination and reducing post-meal discomfort

Microgard vs. Microgard Plus — Which Is Right for You?

• Microgard Plus is the better starting point for most people — especially those who feel cold easily or have significant dampness, phlegm, and biofilm accumulation. Start here.
• Microgard (Regular) is the maintenance formula — after 1–2 months on Plus, most patients transition to Regular for ongoing gut health support.
