Every bite, sip, and breath exposes you to invisible microplastics, accumulating in the gut, bloodstream, brain, and even breast milk—at a weekly rate the size of a credit card. Quorum Innovations has announced the launch of Qi601™, the world’s first product, harnessing a patented Biofilm Shield™ that binds plastics in your gut and gets rid of it.
Developed over 12 years, Qi601™ uses a GRAS-certified probiotic strain to form a natural biofilm in the gut. This shield acts like a magnet, trapping up to 98% of micro- and nanoplastics for safe clearance through digestion. In laboratory studies on human gastrointestinal cell cultures, Qi601™ reduced microplastic adherence to intestinal cells by 83% compared to untreated controls. It also demonstrated 99% binding efficacy in simulated gastric conditions, with early animal models (C. elegans worms) showing plastics flushed from the gut— even extracting nanoplastics from the cells.
Rooted in Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) -funded research on microbial barriers against toxins, Qi601™ translates military-grade innovation into everyday protection. One easy-to-swallow capsule daily activates the shield, offering a practical defense in the Plasticene era.
Microplastics are an invisible threat, accumulating in our bodies with unknown long-term effects. Qi601™ transforms the human microbiome into a protective shield, giving people a practical way to fight back—starting with one capsule a day.
Qi601™ is a direct response to the Plasticene era. What began as a defense against battlefield toxins is now a tool to protect families at the dinner table.
Qi601™ is available at qi601.com.
