Stress, overconsumption of alcohol, food intolerance, microbial imbalance and poor nutrition can affect the integrity of the epithelial barrier. The health of the GI tract is dependent on the modulation of these factors. The ingredients in GlutaShield help regenerate and maintain GI enterocytes while supporting the health of the intestinal mucosal barrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unique formula in GlutaShield includes nutrients that support the gut mucosal epithelium. The purpose of the epithelium is to allow the digestion and absorption of dietary nutrients while keeping unwanted toxins, microbes and food particles from passing directly into the body. GlutaShield is available in delicious chocolate and vanilla flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix  1 scoop  of GlutaShield with water or  beverage  of your choice, once daily or as recommended by your health care professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeglycyrrhized Licorice Root Extract (DGL)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDGL is a form of licorice root that has been specially processed to contain only biologically active flavonoids, without glycyrrhizin. This allows for higher dosing of the active ingredient, which helps maintain a healthy mucosal surface. Traditionally used to support GI-related complaints, DGL has been shown to promote bacterial balance, protect the intestinal lining, and maintain normal inflammatory balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAloe Vera Leaf Gel Extract\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA demulcent that has been used throughout history, aloe vera has long been known to maintain normal inflammatory balance.
