GI-Encap® Details
Although aloe vera has significant gastroprotective efficacy,* some forms of aloe vera can produce a laxative effect. GI-Encap's aloe vera ingredient comes from the inner fillet of the aloe vera plant, which avoids this effect. Similarly, licorice root preparations, which support the stomach and duodenum,* can cause blood pressure to rise in some individuals when given in higher amounts. Therefore, the licorice in GI-Encap has had its glycyrrhizin removed, which prevents increases in blood pressure.* GI-Encap also contains slippery elm bark (Ulmus rubra) and marshmallow root (Althea officinalis), both of which contain mucilaginous components that can soothe the digestive tract.* To soothe esophageal irritation, GI-Encap can be taken out of the capsule and mixed with warm water to drink as a tea.*

INTERACTIONS

Because I didnft want to take a prescription med, I wanted to see if this supplement would help me. It sure did, just two weeks into it.
I use this product for acid reflux, and it works pretty good for a supplement. I was unable to tolerate any of the prescriptions my GI doctor gave me.
My doctor told me about GI-ENCAP for soothing my stomach when I was having anxiety and it works very well. I did not want to use over-the-counter medications. This helped tremendously. That was 4 years ago and I still use as needed. Thank you, Thorne!
I keep GI-Encap in my purse, at my desk, in my kitchen, and in my car. This is the first thing I take when I get an upset stomach. It works really well for when I have too much spicy food. I empty a few capsules into water and drink it to get the work done faster. It tastes good, too.
This works really well for me! I usually open the capsules and add to water or a smoothie. So soothing!
