How Ortho Molecular GlutaShield Works
In a healthy gastrointestinal (GI) tract, the epithelial mucosal barrier blocks food antigens (proteins), toxins, and microorganisms from entering the bloodstream, ultimately preventing leaky gut syndrome. However, myriad lifestyle factors, from stress and excessive alcohol use to food intolerance, microbial imbalance, and poor nutrition can affect the integrity of the epithelial barrier.
Ortho Molecular GlutaShield helps preserve the health and functionality of the gut barrier, featuring a formula with nutrients that support gut mucosal epithelium. In terms of digestion and how your body absorbs nutrients, this supplement:
- Enhances gut barrier health and integrity, limiting permeability and preventing toxins and other harmful substances from entering your bloodstream and affecting your health on a broader scale.
- Assists with balancing inflammation in the gut, supporting a healthy epithelium and intestinal mucosal barrier in the process.
- Delivers nutrients directly to the gastrointestinal tract’s cells.
Ingredients:
The ingredients in GlutaShield help regenerate and maintain GI enterocytes while supporting the health of the intestinal mucosal barrier. GlutaShield includes a high dose of L-glutamine (4 g), which serves as nutrition for the gut lining. It provides 500g of deglycyrrhized licorice root extract (DGL) and 75mg of aloe vera extract, both of which protect and promote the health of the gut mucosa. N-acetyl glucosamine and zinc boost GI integrity.
Suggested Use: Mix one scoop of GlutaShield with water or beverage of your choice, once daily or as recommended by your health care professional.
