Galectovid Q&A Section
What is Galectovid?
Galectovid is a proprietary medical food designed to support the body’s natural defenses by targeting Galectin-1 and Galectin-3 proteins. These proteins are involved in various health conditions, including chronic inflammation and immune system regulation.
What’s the best way to take Galectovid?
Galectovid comes in a convenient, tasty tablet form that should be dissolved in the mouth like a lozenge, making it an easy addition to your daily routine.
Who can benefit from Galectovid?
Galectovid is beneficial for:
- Individuals experiencing viral infections.
- Individuals experience viral persistence.
- Those with chronic inflammatory conditions.
What are Galectin-1 and Galectin-3, and why is reducing them important?
Galectin-1 and Galectin-3 are proteins that play essential roles in normal cellular functions. However, they can be hijacked by viruses or other invasive infections to promote cell attachment and entry. Excessive levels of these proteins can suppress immune response and are linked to various health challenges. Reducing Galectin-1 and Galectin-3 helps improve the body's ability to manage inflammation and support immune function more effectively.
How is Galectovid different from regular supplements?
Unlike general supplements, Galectovid is a medical food specifically designed to address the overexpression of Galectin-1 and Galectin-3 proteins. Developed under stringent quality standards, it is intended for use under a physician’s supervision to provide targeted support for immune and inflammation management.
Is Galectovid safe?
Galectovid is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) and it is made with high-quality, safe ingredients and manufactured under strict quality control. However, it is recommended to use it under a physician's supervision, as it is a medical food product.
How does Galectovid work?
Galectovid binds to Galectin-1 and Galectin-3 proteins in the bloodstream, helping the body naturally eliminate them. By reducing Galectins, Galectovid limits viral invasion, supports immune response, and reduces inflammation, enhancing overall health.
What ingredients are in Galectovid?
Galectovid contains a proprietary formulation including Guar Gum, Sorbitol, Peppermint Flavor, Magnesium Stearate, Malic Acid, Sucralose, and F melt. It is formulated to provide targeted support for reducing Galectin-1 and Galectin-3 proteins. Some of these ingredients are of grain origin (corn/rice).
How long does it take to see results with Galectovid?
It may begin to take effect in a couple hours or up to several days.
Can I use Galectovid if I’m currently on other medications?
If you are taking other medications or have existing health conditions, consult your healthcare provider before starting Galectovid to ensure it’s safe and appropriate for your needs.

Is Galectovid FDA-approved?
Galectovid is classified as a medical food and is not required to undergo FDA approval like pharmaceutical drugs. However, it is manufactured under stringent quality and safety standards, and is generally recognized as safe.
Galectovid Ingredients & Considerations for Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) Patients
1. Guar Gum
Generally safe but may affect gut microbiota. Those with MCAS should introduce it cautiously due to potential digestive sensitivity.
2. Sorbitol
As a sugar alcohol, it can lead to gastrointestinal issues like bloating or diarrhea, which may exacerbate MCAS symptoms. Monitoring for tolerance is advised.
3. Peppermint Flavor
Flavors, including peppermint, might trigger mast cell reactions in sensitive individuals. Confirm past reactions before use.
4. Magnesium Stearate
Commonly used as a flow agent in products and usually well-tolerated. Individuals with severe chemical sensitivities should proceed with caution.
5. Malic Acid A natural acid, typically safe, but high amounts might irritate sensitive individuals. Watch for any signs of intolerance.
6. Sucralose
Artificial sweeteners might irritate the gut or cause sensitivities. Use with caution if previous adverse reactions have occurred.
7. F Melt
This proprietary blend aids tablet disintegration. While excipients are usually harmless, those highly sensitive to additives should check its composition.
8. Corn Starch Derived Ingredients
May cause sensitivity. Consider starting with a very small dose to assess tolerance.
