When something doesn’t feel “right”, we feel it in our gut. That could be because 90% of the body’s serotonin resides in our gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and serotonin is the neurotransmitter most often associated with happiness.
But when emotional stress tears through the GI neighborhood like a tornado clearing everything in its path, it can send us running for the nearest restroom! GI Cell Support is formulated to stress-proof the GI tract, maintaining a stable home-base for serotonin.
As a gatekeeper to healthy, happy gut, GI Cell Support:
- optimizes the absorption of nutrients from food and supplements
- rejects unwanted bacteria, toxins and other pathogens
HOW IT WORKS:
VRP-formulated GI Cell Support contains ingredients known to strengthen the health and effectiveness of the barrier system known as the GI tract.
Ingredients include:
- L-Glutamine: although the most abundant free amino acid in the body, the greatest demand for this nutritional building block is in the GI tract.
- Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL): clinically demonstrated to lessen intestinal irritation and related symptoms.
- N-Acetyl-Glucosamine: supports the synthesis of the gastric and intestinal mucosa’s protective glycoprotein cover; deficient in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- Marshmallow: creates a protective layer rich in polysaccharides that soothe and protect mucous membranes.
- Berberine: helps control inflammation.
- Slippery Elm: gently stimulates nerve endings in the GI tract, prompting mucous secretion that coats and protects the delicate intestinal lining.
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH:
GI Cell Support was formulated based on numerous studies published in peer-reviewed medical journals such as The Journal of Ethnopharmacology, The American Journal of Gastroenterology, and the Alternative Medicine Review.
PRODUCT BENEFITS:
- Nourishes and soothes intestinal cells
- Promotes a healthy inflammatory response
- Repairs and maintains the mucosal barrier, the inner lining of the intestinal tract
Recommended Dosage:
