LGR™ (LEAKY GUT REPAIR)
Size: 400 grams Powder (Berry Flavour)
Most researchers now believe that 90% of all diseases and health issues begin in the GI tract. The lining of the GI tract is susceptible to many forms of attack including:
- Chronic stress
- Infectious agents - viral, bacterial, protozoan
- Use of broad spectrum antibiotics - especially if taken for an extended period of time
- Chemicals in processed foodstuffs e.g .dyes, preservatives, peroxidised fats
- Excessive consumption of alcohol
- Significant consumption of highly refined carbohydrates
- Extended use of non steroidal anti inflammatory medication
- Poor diet/malnutrition
LGR is the product of choice of many practitioners, for comprehensive support and repair of the GI tract. LGR is specifically formulated to support the function and health of the GI tract.
LGR has been developed to fulfil the need for a low allergy, high nutritional component product to support correct GI function and enhance bowel wall integrity.
LGR includes a comprehensive range of amino acids, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to support and enhance bowel wall repair and function.
Glutamine plays a major role in repair and maintenance of intestinal wall cells. It has been proven that Glutamine supports the immune system and there is an increasing amount of evidence to suggest that glutamine also supports healing of the gastro intestinal mucosa thus supporting its function as a barrier to viral, bacterial and food antigen stimulating particles.
Dietary Fibre/Prebiotics ferment in the colon thus stimulating replication and growth of beneficial bacteria. Fructooligosaccharides, cellulose and guar gum are prebiotics in LGR which provide an effective source of indigestible dietary fibre and specialist prebiotic components to generate a supportive environment for the production and growth of helpful bacteria. These components also increase the binding of a variety of toxins in the GI tract so they can be excreted therefore reducing the need for the liver to process these toxins.
GE Free Soy Protein is a low allergy base for this formulation and is therefore well suited to patients with a tendency to alternating constipation and diarrhoea, bloating, cramping and related abdominal pain.
Proanthocyanidins from grape seed extract have been shown to increase abnormal cell apoptosis and inhibit abnormal cell development. Grape seed extract and quercetin benefit an inflamed bowel lining by their antioxidant and anti inflammatory actions.
Green Tea extract also has an anti inflammatory action and impedes the development of abnormal cells.
Patients with Leaky Gut Syndrome will benefit their GI tracts by thoroughly chewing their food, endeavouring to be relaxed at meal times and not rushing their meals.
We also recommend the use of Bowel Zone™, to remove compacted faecal matter, prior to taking LGR and then repopulate the gut with the Biomodulin™ probiotic, which provides the gut with a very powerful family of beneficial bacteria.
