L-Glutamine 90 Capsules
An amino acid that promotes post-exercise muscle cell repair and supports gastrointestinal and immune system health* L-glutamine is an amino acid that supports a healthy intestinal lining and optimal immune function, in addition to assisting healing after injury or surgery and muscle cell repair.* L-glutamine, the most prevalent amino acid in the bloodstream, is found in high concentration in the gastrointestinal tract, which is the greatest user of glutamine. Many factors can play a part in the depletion of glutamine, such as food allergies, and various bodily insults like injury, infection, chronic stress, and being malnourished. Intense exercise can also adversely lower the blood level of glutamine and, if intense training is repeated without adequate recovery, then the level can remain low. What causes glutamine depletion: Prolonged exhaustive exercise Extended periods of physical stress Trauma or infection Being malnourished Chemotherapy Benefits of Thorne’s L-Glutamine: Benefits gastrointestinal health* Improves gut permeability and optimal gut barrier function* Supports wound healing* Helps maintain immune health* Restores plasma glutamine levels depleted after periods of physical stress, such as prolonged exhaustive exercise* Helps maintain a healthy stomach and intestinal lining* Who can benefit from Thorne's L-Glutamine: Athletes or individuals who undergo intensive athletic training* Individuals healing from surgery or injury* Anyone seeking support for a healthy GI lining and gut permeability* Individuals with food allergies* Helps restore plasma glutamine levels depleted after periods of physical stress, such as prolonged exhaustive exercise* This product has been third-party tested and certified to verify what's in the package matches what's on the label and to confirm it contains no unsafe levels of contaminants, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and microorganisms. Suggested Usage: Take 1 capsule three times daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.

Multi Enzyme 180 Capsules
A comprehensive digestive enzyme blend of HCl, pepsin, and pancreatin for supporting good digestion* Multi Enzyme combines HCl and pepsin with pancreatic enzymes to promote digestion and absorption of protein, carbs, and fats.* Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and the proteolytic enzyme pepsin that are secreted in the stomach, and the pancreatic enzymes (amylase, lipase, and protease) secreted from the pancreas into the small intestine are essential for digestion and absorption of nutrients from the food we eat. A supplement containing these enzymes can provide benefit in situations when less than optimal amounts are produced in the body – like during the natural aging process.* HCl facilitates the body’s absorption of multiple nutrients, including folate, vitamin B12, vitamin C, beta-carotene, iron, and various forms of calcium, magnesium, and zinc.* Pancreatic enzymes facilitate the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and K, CoQ10, and omega-3 fatty acids.* Benefits of Thorne's Multi Enzyme: Provides support for occasional indigestion* Minimizes gas and bloating* Helps maintain bowel regularity* Optimizes absorption of essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients* Benefits individuals after over-use of antacids* Supports individuals with food sensitivities* Features of Thorne's Multi Enzyme: Contains undiluted pepsin and pancreatin Does not contain lactose, which is often used to dilute pepsin and pancreatin This product has been third-party tested and certified to verify what's in the package matches what's on the label and to confirm it contains no unsafe levels of contaminants, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and microorganisms.

FloraMend delivers the five billion live cells stated on the label up to the date of expiration. This makes FloraMend a great probiotic option for travel, the office, or simply keeping it from getting lost in the fridge.

Betaine HCL & Pepsin 225 Capsules
Benefits individuals with occasional indigestion Betaine HCl & Pepsin promotes optimal stomach acidity, protein digestion, and enzyme activity. Indigestion can be caused by many things – including inadequate amounts of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach. HCl secretion in the stomach does several positive things. It assists protein digestion by activating pepsinogen to pepsin, it renders the stomach sterile against ingested pathogens, it inhibits undesirable overgrowth in the small intestine, and it encourages the flow of bile and pancreatic enzymes.* Hydrochloric acid also facilitates the absorption of a number of nutrients, including folate, vitamin B12, ascorbic acid, beta-carotene, iron, and some forms of calcium, magnesium, and zinc.* Numerous studies have shown that hydrochloric acid secretion in the stomach begins to decline with advancing age. Overuse of antacids or acid blockers can also lead to low levels of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which can result in poor protein digestion.* Thorne's Betaine HCl & Pepsin comes from a porcine source. Indigestion affects millions of people every day. For some, it's brought on by eating fatty foods. For others, simple carbohydrates (like bread and pasta) can cause gas and bloating. And for other individuals, spicy foods can cause them grief. Although what we eat greatly influences the frequency and severity of indigestion, this discomfort could also be related to an underlying problem – low hydrochloric acid (HCl) content in the stomach. Situations such as illness, gall bladder removal, overuse of antacids, and normal aging can contribute to insufficient secretion of stomach acid, which can adversely affect digestive enzyme activity and lead to occasional indigestion, gas, bloating, and other forms of gastrointestinal discomfort.* Maldigestion can also lead to digestive problems and poor absorption of nutrients, resulting in vitamin deficiencies (particularly fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, E, and K). Food allergies can develop when inadequately digested proteins are absorbed through a leaky gut. As large proteins are absorbed intact, the body might recognize them as foreign and create antibodies against them, resulting in an allergic response to the food. To ensure optimal digestion, an individual should make sure to have adequate HCl content in the stomach.* This product has been third-party tested and certified to verify what's in the package matches what's on the label and to confirm it contains no unsafe levels of contaminants, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and microorganisms. Suggested Usage: Take 1-2 capsules with each meal or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.

Bacillus Coagulans Probiotic 60 Capsules
An everyday, all-ages probiotic that promotes GI function and bowel regularity A stable probiotic bacteria that survives stomach acid and retains its potency in the intestines, where it can support GI upset, such as occasional gas, bloating, constipation or diarrhea. The intestinal tract contains trillions of bacteria that, when a person is healthy, coexist with us in a beneficial, symbiotic relationship. The beneficial bacteria help digest food, produce vitamins, regulate the metabolism, and facilitate a normal immune response.* Probiotic bacteria promote a healthy intestinal environment by producing lactic acid and by secreting fatty acids that are helpful to the growth of other beneficial microorganisms.* Bacillus coagulans (also known as Lactobacillus sporogenes) is a lactic acid-producing bacteria that is unique in probiotic supplementation.* While this beneficial bacteria is dormant in the bottle, it reverts to a growing bacteria in the intestines.* As a result, it resists being killed by stomach acid; in contrast, many Lactobacillus probiotics lose much of their potency before use and do not survive their transit through the stomach.* This product has been third-party tested and certified to verify what's in the package matches what's on the label and to confirm it contains no unsafe levels of contaminants, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and microorganisms. Suggested Usage: Take 1 capsule two to three times daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.

These enzymes are all essential for digestion and absorption of nutrients from the food we eat. By providing all of them, Advanced Digestive Enzymes offers a complete solution for digestive support. Suggested Usage: Take 1-2 capsules with each meal or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.

Gut Support - Healthy Digestion + Nutrient Absorption Liquid
This all-natural daily wellness supplement strengthens the gut lining, supporting healthy digestion, improved nutrient absorption, and overall wellness. All-natural and backed by science, ION* Gut Support works at the foundation of health so you can live your best life. Healthy Digestion: Proven to seal cells in the gut lining, ION* Gut Support strengthens the terrain upon which your microbiome can diversify. Soil-derived humic extract helps tight junctions to keep toxins out while improving nutrient absorption and hydration. With tight junctions intact and a strong gut lining, ION* Gut Support can help to combat indigestion, gas, and bloating. Nutrient Absorption: Our soil, and thus our food, isn’t as nutrient-dense as it once was. And the nutrients that exist in food today have trouble getting into our cells without proper delivery methods. ION* Gut Support acts as a carrier molecule, binding to nutrients to help deliver them to the cells. This helps to optimize cellular function, support energy, and improve overall health and wellness. Overall Wellness: Immune Function: Tighter cellular junctions mean a better terrain for your microbiome to diversify, a better environment to support good gut bacteria, and thereby an improved immune response. A stronger gut also means fewer toxins and inflammatory particles getting through that can spark an immune response. Gluten Defense: The humic extract molecules that make up ION* Gut Support help to activate the enzyme, DPP4, which works to remove the toxic peptides found in gluten. By sparking this initial enzyme production, ION* Gut Support can maintain low levels of zonulin and combat tight junction damage. Toxin Protection: ION* Gut Support is proven to seal cells in the gut lining within minutes. With a strong gut lining, the body can work better to defend from toxins. Further, by acting as a carrier molecule, ION* Gut Support works to move toxins out of the body, improving overall wellness. ION* Gut Support contains an optimal balance of just a few simple, natural ingredients: humic extract, purified water, and a dash of sea salt. By focusing on the inherent support that nature can offer - instead of adding a bunch of things to your body that you may have difficulty absorbing - ION* Gut Support is built for everyone, intelligently adapting to the unique needs of your unique body. Our humic extract is derived from ancient soil (roughly 60 million years old!) rich in beneficial metabolites. These metabolites help create the dynamic family of carbon molecules that is at the heart of our science, facilitating cell to cell communication, nutrient absorption, chelation of metals, and tight junction integrity in the gut lining. ION* is not a prebiotic, a probiotic, or a direct source of enzymes. It contains zero bacteria. We need a much more diverse microbiome than one can achieve by replicating the same strands of bacteria over and over (this monoculture can happen when we take probiotics). ION* is unique in that it naturally enhances the diversity of your individual microbiome. It works as a communication network that gives our bodies the tools to create their own bacterial ecosystem again - that ecosystem that has been wiped out by environmental toxins such as antibiotics and pesticides. Without the communication network, there will always be overgrowth of certain species and underrepresentation of others. Suggested Usage: The best use of ION* Gut Support: Morning, noon, and night, ION* Gut Support is your daily wellness ally. In an easy-to-use liquid formula, take ION* straight up, or add it to purified water, a smoothie, or your morning coffee. But most of all, just remember to take it. Daily Dosage: 1 teaspoon 3x per day Step 1: Add 1 teaspoon into8oz. of filtered water Step 2: Enjoy 30 minutes before every meal
