The Importance of Glutamine in Our Body

L-Glutamine is the bodys most plentiful free-form amino acid, and is central in sustaining gastrointestinal function. Glutamine is a significant carrier of nitrogen within the body, which is essential in the cellular healing. Even though glutamine can be manufactured by the intestinal mucosa, during periods of physical stress the body may not produce enough of this on its own. The deficit of glutamine can result in epithelial atrophy, necrosis and ulceration of the gut. Glutamine and intestinal barrier function.

What is Leaky Gut

Leaky Gut Syndrome happens when outsized particles of food or bacteria leak into the bloodstream through the cell membranes of the gut that have weakened and become permeable. The weakening of the gut walls can be caused by our diets, stress, side effects from medicine, hormonal imbalance, or from infection.

When leaky gut occurs a person may experience an almost allergic-level response to these offending food particles or bacteria that have leaked through the gut wall into the bloodstream. The result can be uncomfortable gastrointestinal symptoms such as cramps, gas, extreme food sensitivity, bloating, abnormal bowel movements, and inflammation. A leaky gut can also manifest itself in other ways. Your body may react by breaking out with eczema, suffering from depression, joint pain, and general aches, fatigue and fogginess.

Unmanaged Leaky Gut Syndrome actually progresses in stages. Leaky gut usually begins with minor gastrointestinal inflammation. This can be lead to a food intolerance, in which you notice that one of your favorite foods gives you digestion problems. This can then trigger an immune system reaction and then ultimately autoimmunity.

Good health really does start in the gut. Poor gut health can even lead to a bad mood, depression, and other imbalances that effect the quality of our lives. Maintaining good gut flora and balance is essential for proper digestive health and gut integrity. Inside your body, the gut wall houses many cells that comprise your immune system. Keeping your gut healthy is essential to maintaining a healthy immune system. A healthy gut lining supports nutrient delivery, and a well-balanced digestive tract is essential to achieving good nutrient delivery. An imbalanced gut can lead to complications bloating, IBS, constipation, diarrhea, cramps, or gas. A poorly functioning gut can also disrupt the balance and harmony of our body, sometimes leading to a bad mood, depression, anxiety, or stress.

Arabinogalactan

Arabinogalactan is a polysaccharide that gives fermentable fiber to GutAssist and it also offers immuno-stimulatory benefits. It supports gut microflora production, helps produce short chain fatty acids, and reduces ammonia synthesis and absorption.

Licorice Root Extract 10:1 (deglycyrrhized)

Our licorice root has been treated to remove glycyrrhizin, which successfully reduces the risk of unwanted licorice-related complications. Licorice root offers both anti-inflammatory and relaxing properties. Deglycyrrhized licorice has shown to reduce the negative affects of Aspirin-induced mucosal damage.

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is an ancient remedy that helps support the healing of epithelial tissue, in particular that of the gastrointestinal tract. The bitter elements have been removed from the aloe in GutAssist, and therefore the laxative effects have been removed.
