LGUT Leaky Gut Supplement

Gastrointestinal permeability (leaky gut) severely impacts the normal, healthy human immune functions. Some 70% of the human immune system is centered in the intestines. Research reveals that key botanical nutrients help the normal regulatory processes and help restore tissue integrity to the intestinal epithelium and microbiome processes. Some nutrients provide protective molecules by up-regulating the tight junction protein claudin and down-regulating the protein zonulin. Other studies reveal that short chain fatty acids (SCFA), flavonoids, growth factors, phytotherapeutics such as berberine and quercetin are powerful influences for healthy G.I. tract integrity. Preserving the integrity of the epithelial barrier and supporting the normal maintenance processes are of paramount importance and foundational to health and healing programs.

Clinical Dose of Quercetin, Bioferrin, Turmeric and L-Alynyl Glutamine in an herbalomic support blend. Lab studies have demonstrated the ability of Quercetin to support the intestinal mucosa by up-regulating the tight junction protein claudin and down-regulating the protein zonulin. Other studies reveal that short chain fatty acids (SCFA), flavonoids, growth factors, phytotherapeutics such as berberine and quercetin are powerful influences for healthy G.I. tract integrity. Supporting an already healthy epithelial barrier is of paramount importance and foundational to health.

Lion’s Mane Mushroom – Provides beta glucan polysaccharides, fatty acids, and polypeptides in support of normal intestinal endothelial maintenance activity. Oleanolic acids and adenosine support immune modulatory processes such as the induction of interferons necessary for intestinal integrity. Supports normal mucous barrier function.

L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine – Supports the normal exchange of nitrogen between tissues and aids normal glucose metabolism and cellular hydration. Supports the glucose-alanine cycle. Glutamine is the primary transporter between cells of nitrogen derived from protein breakdown, and it stimulates glucose-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Supports normal glycogen synthesis.

Quercetin – A flavonoid found throughout nature in the bioflavonoid parts of citrus fruits. Studies demonstrate the positive effects of quercetin in vitro using G.I. cells. Tight junctions are maintained through what seems to be linked to the up-regulation of the tight junction protein claudin-4.

Gogi Berry – A nutrient dense food featuring phytonutrients and antioxidants that help support healthy intestinal functions.

RNA/DNA Duodenum Tissue Factors – Supports the integrity of the duodenal intestines.

Acetic Acid – (Apple Cider Vinegar) Assists normal digestion and mobilization of sugars needed for energy and maintenance.

Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) – The plant alkaloid, berberine, is one of many alkaloids found in Goldenseal Root. Recent research shows berberine can help protect against TNF - a mediated barrier defect in a human colon cell model. Berberine is also a powerful supporter of immune relations with many bacterial and fungal species.

Genistein – Strong antioxidant, removes damaging free radicals and reduces lipid peroxidation. Genistein increases the activity of other antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione reductase. Studies show that genistein also influences the growth of cells which are not hormone-dependent and helps maintain proper cellular function.

Rhubarb – Alkalizing food, contains lutein, vitamin k, and antioxidants (incl. lycopene). A bowel tonic and supporter of normal purification processes. Provides vitamins, K, C, A, and B complexes. Helps regulate intestinal health

Black Radish – A food frequently cited as supportive for the entire gastrointestinal tract and liver. Contains antioxidant properties that eliminate the free radicals that are often responsible for causing oxidative damage to cell membranes. Helps support normal purification processes.

Turmeric – Extremely well researched and is a valuable herb that helps the secretory processes of digestive fluids. Antioxidant.

Bioferrin – A unique, low-iron form of lactoferrin, a protein clinically proven to benefit the G.I. tract’s normal, healthy activities. Supports the immune system in its normal viral vigilance.

Aloe Vera Leaf – Provides healing mucopolysaccharides for intestinal repair and integrity.

Fructooligosaccharides/Inulin – A prebiotic that promotes proliferation of probiotic species that help maintain normal gastrointestinal flora.
