G.I. Fortify Powder

• Bulk-forming laxative
• Blend of high-impact fibre, herbs and nutrients

Description

G.I. Fortify provides important support for constipation. Psyllium, or Plantago ovata, is an important source of soluble fiber. Soluble fiber absorbs water to form a gel, increasing stool volume when taken with an appropriate amount of water, thus promoting larger, softer stools for healthy bowel movements. As the feces move through the intestine, they integrate and eliminate other wastes and toxins present on the intestinal walls. In the colon, soluble fiber is slowly fermented by the intestinal microflora, which also helps to increase fecal mass. The fermentation process produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which have a protective effect on the healthy functioning of the colon cells, as they are a very important source of energy for the colon and can regulate the transit in the colon. In addition, SCFAs preserve the acidity of the intestinal environment, thus creating optimal conditions for healthy intestinal microflora. Flax is an additional source of soluble fiber that also contains fatty acids and lignans. G.I. Fortify also contains the amino acid L-glutamine and a combination of deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL), aloe, slippery elm and marshmallow root. In addition, it includes, in equal proportions, three fruit extracts (Terminalia chebula, Terminalia bellirica and Emblica officinalis) that have long been traditionally used in the Ayurvedic remedy Triphala, which literally means "three fruits".
