With scientifically studied ButyraGen® (with tributyrin and fiber), Lipase Thera-blend®, PepZinGI® zinc carnosine and organic golden kiwi
GI + Biome Complex™ promotes a healthy balance in the small and large intestine microbiome, while supporting the epithelial lining’s integrity.* Prebiotic fibers in ButyraGen® work synergistically to promote butyrate-producing bacteria in the gut, while reducing occasional gas.* Lipase supports butyrate’s release, Livaux® golden kiwi provides dietary fiber and PepZin GI® zinc carnosine helps rebuild mucosa.* Formula also promotes healthy motility.*
Recommended Dose: 2 capsules, once a day. More may be taken as recommended by a health-care practitioner.
The Science
Maintaining an optimal balance of healthy bacteria in the small and large intestine is imperative for digestive function and comfort. However, imbalances are more common than once thought and can cause unnecessary discomfort and a lower quality of life.
When dietary fibers are fermented by microbes in the lower intestinal tract, butyrate is produced. It serves as the primary energy source for colonocytes, which are the epithelial cells lining the colon. Butyrate promotes both the immune function of the mucosa and the function of the intestinal barrier.*
Having been evaluated in pre-clinical studies, with future studies planned, ButyraGen® includes the active ingredients of tributyrin, which is a butyrate generator, and partially hydrolyzed fiber, which serves as a prebiotic and helps generate butyrate. Gut enzymes break down tributyrin to generate butyrate, a postbiotic.
Lipase releases butyrate from tributyrin (in ButyraGen®), by hydrolyzing the glycerol. Lipase Thera-blend® can release butyrate throughout the entire digestive tract due to its broad activity range. Butyrate modulates mucus production and promotes thickness of layers in the cells lining the gut.
Thera-blend® technology ensures the lipase enzymes remain active throughout the diverse pH levels found in the digestive tract.
PepZin GI® is a chelated Zinc-Carnosine that combines trace mineral zinc and L-Carnosine. It has been well researched and shown to support indigestion and maintaining healthy mucosal integrity.*
The digestive health benefits of kiwifruit are well-documented. Livaux® golden kiwi naturally provides vitamin C and polyphenols, in addition to dietary fiber.*
