L-alanyl-L-glutamine

This dipeptide is the preferred form of glutamine when aiding in the transfer of water from the intestinal lumen into the bloodstream. Alanylglutamine is safe for consumption in moderate amounts.

Aloe Vera

The active ingredients in this plant have been known to possess amazing antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing properties for centuries. Aloe has even been shown to be able to fight off dental bacterial growth and cold sores. Aloe has been used topically and orally in many different forms.

Marshmallow

Althaea is a genus of perennial plants that has proven to be an effective antibacterial and wound-healer. Due to its high amount of mucilage content, marshmallow may be advantageous for people with gastritis due to its slippery nature soothing irritated mucus membranes of the digestive tract.

Sunfiber®

Tradename for partially hydrolyzed guar gum, these saccharide fractions have been known to improve symptoms for both constipation-dominant and diarrhea-dominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Sunfiber also acts as a prebiotic, thus enhancing the number of friendly bacteria present in certain regions of the intestines.

FOS

Fructooligosaccharides are fractionized portions of fructose polymers that act in a similar manner to Sunfiber, especially in acting as a prebiotic – giving certain strains of friendly flora in the intestines food to multiply themselves and provide extra defense and protection against bad bacterial invaders.

Probiotics

Probiotics is a term used for bacteria that resides in the human gastrointestinal tract that provides health benefits to us in a symbiotic manner. Especially some of the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains, these friendly bacterial cultures digest and metabolize the food we ingest and in return excrete byproducts that kill the bad bacteria that reside in our intestines.

Postbiotics

As described in the probiotic explanation, postbiotics are metabolites of the food we eat produced by the good bacteria (probiotics) that kill the bad bacteria. Some of these metabolites (caprylic and butyric acid) also have shown to possess some other gastrointestinal health benefits.
