What Is The Source?
l-Glutamine is manufactured from the fermentation of
vegetables. n-Acetyl-d-glucosamine is derived from crab
and shrimp. Gamma oryzanol is derived from rice bran.
Aloe vera is a 200:1 extract derived from the inner fillet of
Aloe barbadensis and standardized to contain 10%
polysaccharides. Ascorbyl palmitate is derived from corn
dextrose fermentation and palm oil.

Gastrointestinal Integrity and Function: l-Glutamine, the
most abundant amino acid in the body, promotes healthy
everyday tissue repair. In the gut, it maintains intestinal
integrity by supporting the protective mucosal lining and
maintaining healthy villous function. This helps to ensure
proper nutrient utilization while limiting the amount of
toxins that pass through the intestinal barrier. It is also the
principal metabolic fuel for the enterocytes and immune
cells in the small intestines. N-acetyl-d-glucosamine is
incorporated into glycosaminoglycans and glycoproteins
that comprise the gut's mucosal surface, maintaining
healthy intestinal tissue. Gamma oryzanol provides
beneficial support for gastric health and comfort. Aloe
maintains healthy prostaglandin metabolism and
immune mediator activity and promotes defense against
reactive oxygen metabolites. In one randomized, double
blind trial, volunteers reported positive intestinal
support with aloe compared to placebo.
