Bacillus coagulans (also known as Lactobacillus Sporogenes) is a lactic acid-producing bacteria that promotes GI function and bowel regularity. It is unique in probiotic supplementation because this beneficial bacteria is dormant in the bottle but reverts to a growing bacteria in the intestines. As a result, it resists being killed by stomach acid. In contrast, many Lactobacillus probiotics lose much of their potency before use and do not survive their transit through the stomach. Unlike many Lactobacillus probiotics, Bacillus Coagulans is heat stable and resistant to stomach acid.

Ginger (Zingiber Officinale) has been used for centuries as a folk remedy to alleviate nausea and soothe the GI tract. It is also used as a carminative, meaning it helps decrease gas production, and can also improve digestion by stimulating hydrochloric acid and bile.

One of the other ways ginger benefits the GI tract is by increasing the motility of the GI tract, which increases the rate the stomach empties. It encourages normal intestinal movement while inhibiting abnormal movements like GI tract spasms.

Several studies have also found that consuming ginger protects the stomach from ulcer-causing agents, such as aspirin, the anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin, and the bacteria Helicobacter Pylori.

Glutamine, the body’s most abundant amino acid, is used by skeletal muscles, the GI tract, kidneys, immune cells, and more. It is also the primary fuel source for enterocytes – the cells that make up the inner surface of the intestines.

Digesting food, absorbing nutrients, eliminating waste and resisting toxins, all result in considerable wear and tear, which is why significant nutrient support is required for these cells to regenerate every 4-5 days.

Increased exercise intensity can also cause the demand for glutamine by skeletal muscles to increase, decreasing the available glutamine in the body’s total amino acid pool and leaving the intestines and other glutamine-dependent tissues to compete for what remains.

L-Glutamine nourishes and soothes intestinal mucosal cells to heal and prevent conditions such as leaky gut syndrome.

Promotes the gut's normal mucus layer and the growth of desirable Bifidobacterium Bifidum.

An antioxidant flavonoid that supports balanced immune function, inflammatory response, and dampens histamine release.

Quercetin is a flavonoid found in many plant-based foods – onions having the highest amount. Other fruits and vegetables that contain significant amounts of quercetin include apples, berries, grapes, and green leafy vegetables. As ubiquitous as quercetin is in nature, it also has wide-ranging benefits in the body. One important actions is to strengthen mast cell membranes (a type of white blood cell), which down-regulates the release of histamine, providing nutritional support for skin sensitivity (like hives) and seasonal allergies. Quercetin also has important antioxidant activities and supports balanced immune function and inflammatory response – all of which provide benefit for respiratory health, athletic performance, healthy aging, and more.

New research is emerging that supports quercetin’s role in healthy aging. Quercetin is the first natural substance to be identified as a senolytic – a substance that clears worn out, dysfunctional cells (senescent cells) from the body. Senescent cells have been identified as a major contributor to the aging process.

Found in lychee peel and mangosteens, Saccharomyces Boulardii is a yeast species that enhances immune function in the gut by increasing sIgA, the first-line defense immunoglobin of the gastrointestinal tract.

In addition to enhancing immune function in the gut, this yeast species also supports the growth of beneficial intestinal flora, and it can also be helpful for mitigating occasional diarrhea.
