INGREDIENT BENEFITS

L-Glutamine L-glutamine is an amino acid which serves as a primary source of fuel for the small intestines. Epithelial cells in the small intestines (enterocytes) use L-glutamine as their metabolic fuel which helps maintain mucosal growth, structure, and function. Gamma Oryzanol Gamma oryzanol is a natural component of rice bran oil. It is a mixture of ferulic acid esters of sterol and triterpene alcohols. Rice bran oil includes about 1-2% gamma oryzanol, which it functions as a highly effective antioxidant in the GI tract. N-Acetyl Glucosamine N-acetyl glucosamine is the acetylated form of glucosamine. N-acetyl glucosamine is a mucin precursor and has been shown to increase the production of mucus within the GI tract. Lactoferrin Lactoferrin is a glycoprotein that is naturally found in colostrum. It helps maintain normal microbial and inflammatory balance in the GI tract. Silymarin (Milk Thistle Seed Extract) Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is an annual plant indigenous to Europe and the United States and has been used for centuries as an herbal medicine to boost liver function. N-Acetyl Cysteine N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a sulfyhydryl containing amino acid that is commonly used to support liver and gut health. Micronutrient Blend Mucosagen includes the synergistic nutrient combination of zinc, vitamin A, and biotin, which are crucial for supporting GI health.
