GI ResQ+ features four specialized ingredients for ideal gastrointestinal support. This powerful blend contains a concentrated extract of licorice that has been processed to remove glycyrrhizin—thus minimizing risk of licorice-based side effects for your most sensitive patients.
Glutamine serves as the predominant fuel and nitrogen source for the mucosal lining of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and is of major significance in this formula.

KEY INGREDIENTS
L-Glutamine, the most abundant free form amino acid in
the body, is very important for maintaining gastrointestinal
and stimulated immune cell functioning. It is an important
transporter of nitrogen (and carbon) in the body and
therefore, is vital in wound healing. Although glutamine
can be synthesized by the intestinal mucosa, during
periods of physiological stress when needs can not
likely be met by the body alone, gut epithelial atrophy,
ulceration and even necrosis are possible.[1] L-glutamine is
metabolized to ammonia and glutamate.
Arabinogalactan, a polysaccharide derived from the
Larch tree, contributes fermentable fiber to this formula
in addition to having immuno-stimulatory properties. It
minimizes ammonia synthesis and absorption, enhances
production of short chain fatty acids and increases the gut
microflora population.[2]
Licorice Root Extract 10:1 (deglycyrrhized) is a
concentrated extract that has been processed to remove
glycyrrhizin, thus eliminating any risk of licorice-associated
side effects. It is anti-inflammatory, antispasmotic and has
laxative and soothing effects. Aspirin-induced mucosal
damage has been shown to be reduced by administration
of deglycyrrhized licorice.[3]
Aloe Leaf Extract (standardized to 50% polysaccharides),
used for thousands of years, is perhaps most well-known
for healing of damaged epithelial tissue, including the
bowel lining. Despite the lack of scientific published
studies there is anecdotal evidence to suggest that aloe
vera helps inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal
tract. In some individuals it may increase G.I. transit time,
improve protein digestion and absorption, increase stool
bulk and normalize stool bacteria where high levels of
yeasts previously existed.[4] The aloe extract used in
GlutAloeMine® does not have a laxative effect because
the bitter principles have been removed.
