GI Select 120 G

GI Select® contains a unique and effective blend of ingredients researched to help support the repair and restoration of a healthy gastrointestinal lining. It is provided in a tasty lemon-flavored powder to enable effective dosing and compliance. GI Select® is designed to help optimize intestinal permeability function (leaky gut issues) and to nourish, heal and soothe irritated mucosal cells within the GI tract. Key ingredients include the following:

L-GLUTAMINE, the most abundant amino acid in the body is the lead ingredient in GI Select®. Glutamine is critical to intestinal health because it serves as the primary metabolic fuel for the rapidly dividing cells of intestinal epithelium. L-glutamine can help to support the structural repair of gastrointestinal mucosal linings and has been well researched for helping to promote healthy intercellular tight junctures and optimize intestinal permeability.

N-ACETYL GLUCOSAMINE is an acetylated derivative of glucosamine, the well-known amino sugar which serves as a building block of joint and cartilage tissue throughout the body. In the GI tract, glucosamine acetylation is a key step in the synthesis of protective glycoproteins found in healthy gastric and intestinal mucous membranes. Intestinal inflammation is associated with reduced acetylation activity and a breakdown of glycosaminoglycans at the mucosal surface.

MSM (METHYLSULFONYLMETHANE) is found naturally in the human body where it provides sulfur atoms to enzymes, cells and tissues. Sulfur is a critical mineral for many biological activities, including helping to promote the structural integrity and repair of connective tissue lining the intestinal tract. For this reason, inadequate sulfur in the gut may contribute to the pathology of gastrointestinal diseases.

GUT-GARD™ DEGLYCYRRHIZINATED LICORICE (DGL) is a premium, high potency and safe licorice root extract from which almost all the glycyrrhetinic acid (a potential blood pressure stimulant) has been removed. Deglycyrrhizinated licorice has been researched to support the body’s output of protective mucus to help protect and heal the stomach and gastrointestinal lining. Licorice also contains glabridin, a compound suggested in animal studies to help significantly reduce inflammation within the GI tract.

QUERCETIN DIHYDRATE is an anti-inflammatory bioflavonoid that has been researched to help enhance gut barrier function.

C3 REDUCT® is a high quality, well-absorbed curcumin extract made from fresh turmeric roots. Curcumin has been researched to help promote a healthy immune response in people with inflammatory digestive disorders.

GI Select® also contains a superior blend of three soothing mucilaginous herbs: ALOE, MARSHMALLOW and SLIPPERY ELM. These natural botanicals have been used since ancient times to help soothe and protect irritated mucosal linings throughout the entire GI tract.
