Botanicals and nutrients that support a healthy gastrointestinal lining, providing protection against gastrointestinal injury and improving intestinal permeability. Ingredients stimulate intestinal repair and protect against damage, restoring healthy intestinal barrier function. Used in herbal medicine to help relieve inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract and mild digestive upset. Clinically relevant doses of each active ingredient. Powder allows for flexible dosing and administration. Delicious mango and passion fruit flavor. Suitable for vegetarians/vegans. GI Care is made with extensively researched botanicals and the neuroprotective agent zinc carnosine, designed to promote healing and support the integrity of the gastrointestinal tract. GI Care helps promote a healthy epithelium, protecting and restoring the cells that line the gastrointestinal tract through multiple complementary pathways, including reducing inflammation and complementary intestinal disturbances, including reducing inflammation and intestinal permeability. Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) has been used clinically primarily to protect the gastric mucosa from damage, through several mechanisms, including increasing antioxidant enzymes, inhibiting inflammatory compounds, inhibiting growth hormone, and inhibiting the growth of H. pylori. Chamomile and marshmallow also possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytochemicals. Experimental evidence shows that chamomile has a protective effect on the gastric mucosa, and marshmallow promotes epithelial regeneration through mucilaginous polysaccharides. Many experimental studies indicate that aloe vera gel improves wound healing and intestinal permeability, partly through the regulation of tight junction complexes. Aloe also promotes intestinal barrier function and the production of protective mucus, and alleviates intestinal injury in gastrointestinal diseases. Zinc carnosine has local anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects and promotes wound healing in response to various types of intestinal diseases.
