The many herbs and nutrients within this blend work together to support healthy gastrointestinal function, which is a key part in overall health and well-being.

For the digestive system to function optimally, it needs more than a good balance of friendly bacteria. The intestinal mucosa has two very important roles, to absorb water and nutrients from the intestines and to take out waste that needs to be eliminated.

Supports:

• Healthy digestive function.
• Digestive comfort.
• Healthy intestinal tissue and mucous membranes.
• Immune system health.
• Healthy removal of waste.
• Healthy gut barrier function.

Optimal GI Capsules are designed to support healthy intestinal mucous membranes and gut connective tissue to promote healthy motility, digestive comfort and a healthy gut barrier. This formula contains the following key ingredients:

Citrus Fibre - pectin is a natural fibre which supports healthy bowel regularity and waste removal by bulking the stools.
Aloe Vera, Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice and Slippery Elm - help to protect and soothe the mucous membranes.
Molybdenum - this vital trace element supports normal waste processing in the kidneys.
Z L-Carnosine - supports the body's normal resistance against bacteria within the lining of the stomach and may help protect the small intestinal lining.
Cat's Claw - has a long history of use traditionally to support a normal inflammatory response and for overall digestive wellness.
N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine - supports the body's natural defences against bacterial intruders and supports healthy barrier actions of the gut.
MSM - provides sulfur to connective tissue in the gut and supports normal detoxification pathways and healthy inflammatory response.
Turmeric with 95% Curcuminoids - supports healthy immune and inflammatory activity.
Milk Thistle - this potent antioxidant liver herb supports healthy liver function and normal detoxification pathways.
Marshmallow Root - supports a normal histamine response.
Quercetin and Stinging Nettle - help to support the healthy release of histamine.
Superoxide Dismutase - support healthy detoxification pathways and against oxidative stress.
Glucoraphanin - helps to support against free-radical damage to the tissues.

Unlike the powder version of this product, the capsules contain no L-glutamine which while supporting a healthy gut lining, may not be well tolerated by some people. Additionally, the capsules provide half the dose per serving so it may be more gentle for those who are particularly sensitive.
