Formerly known as GI Guard AMGI Guard is a formulation for GI health using the clinically validated ingredient, PepZin GI, a proprietary form of zinc complexed with carnosine. PepZin GI is slowly absorbed in the stomach, where it promotes normal mucous secretion, combats free radicals, and supports stable cell membranes. PepZin GI thereby helps to maintain the integrity of the stomach lining and its proper immune responses to the typically harsh gastric environment. Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated that PepZin GI can help to support GI health and promote gastric comfort.

Support for gastrointestinal integrity and functionl-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 a 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 a component of glycosaminoglycans and glycoproteins found in the gut’s mucosal surface.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.

GI Support Products
At Vita Living, we know that good gastrointestinal (GI) health is the basis of good overall health. The GI tract comprises the stomach, intestines (large and small), Colon, and rectum. The Colon is essential for the absorption of nutrients and immune system support. An unhealthy Colon can cause problems with digestion, chronic fatigue, depression, and more. When the GI system does not work correctly, nutrients are not absorbed effectively, and vitamin and mineral deficiencies may result. Intestinal support supplements can help prevent and treat digestive disorders that can lead to acid reflux, colitis, irritable bowel system (IBS), constipation, and even Colon cancer. At Vita Living, we offer a full array of gastric support supplements.
Good nutrition and bowel function are the basis of good health. Vita Living's probiotic supplements support good digestion and a strong immune system while warding off bloating, gas, constipation, and other symptoms of poor GI health. The friendly bacteria that make up probiotics are natural to the GI system. They keep the Colon healthy and reduce inflammation. In the past, people ingested these bacteria in fermented foods; however, this is not common today, so supplementation is often necessary.
In addition to healthy, natural probiotics, a few other supplements are helpful in GI tract health. Among them is the amino acid L-glutamine, which helps repair damage to the intestinal tract and provides steady energy. N-acetyl glutamine is a protein that aids the digestive tract in forming mucin, which acts as an internal lubricant. This protein also supports the proper absorption of nutrients. Additionally, herbal supplements such as chamomile can provide relief from IBS, bloating, gas, cramps, and other forms of digestive distress. Proper use of GI support supplements, a healthy diet and good stress management can help fend off illness and the ravages of aging.
