Product Information
Deglycyrrhizinated licorice is well known for its ability to optimize mucus production by gastrointestinal mucosal cells and to promote a healthy GI tract.* Licorice root preparations have been used for many years for the nutritional support of the stomach and duodenum.* Glycyrrhizin is removed from the extract to prevent a rise in blood pressure that has been observed in some individuals taking whole licorice root.* Dried, unripe plantain banana powder (Musa paradisiacal) protects the mucosa of the upper digestive tract – the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine – from irritating substances and has been shown to impart soothing support to these sensitive tissues.* This enhancement of mucosal resistance may be due to plantain's ability to increase both mucosal thickness and the mucosal concentration of proteoglycans – essential components of a healthy mucus membrane.* Slippery elm bark (Ulmus fulva) and marshmallow root (Althea officinalis) contain mucilaginous components that are soothing to the digestive tract.*
To soothe esophageal irritation, GI-Encap can be taken out of the capsule and mixed with warm water for a soothing tea.*
Suggested Use:
Take 1-2 capsules with each meal or as recommended by a health-care practitioner.
