Health Supplement for the GI Tract

GI & Muscle HelperTM is one of our top supplements for supporting the health of the GI tract. It contains glutamine, the primary amino acid that naturally occurs in the structure of the GI tract. It is also used by GI tract cells to produce energy. In fact, more GI tract energy is derived from the metabolism of glutamine than from glucose. As a nutrient glutamine is immediately available for digestive tract nutrition.*

Supports Muscle Repair

Glutamine is also a major component of muscle and is needed for muscle health.* GI & Muscle HelperTM can also be added to our Daily ProteinTM, if desired, to boost muscle recovery from exercise. As the kidneys metabolize glutamine, bicarbonate is produced, assisting in maintaining proper blood pH.*

N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (NAG)

GI & Muscle Helper also contains N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG), a key nutrient that helps form mucin within the digestive tract.* Mucin is a mucoprotein that acts as a lubricant, forming a natural barrier that helps protect the digestive lining.* Adequate mucin supports healthy intestinal permeability, assisting digestion and absorption of food and nutrients.* NAGs have been shown to interact with many cell receptors on organisms or food components existing within the GI tract, helping to support healthy digestive processes.*

As explained on the hyaluronic acid section, glutamine and NAGs are used to help make hyaluronic acid, an important nutrient for all body structures.*
