Protocols For Health GI Restore 5.3 Oz Powder

GI Restore is a distinctive formulation of soluble dietary fiber with prebiotic activities that stimulate the growth of colonic populations of beneficial bacteria and enhances gastrointestinal and systemic immune function in multiple ways. GI Restore combines chicory inulin, a highly effective prebiotic, with the immunomodulating actions of larch arabinogalactan and purified yeast beta-glucan.  Chicory-derived inulin is an inulin-type fructan best known for its ability to sustain increases in populations of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, and Eubacterium, an important butyrate-producing species indigenous to the bowel. By escaping digestion and absorption in the small intestine, inulin-type fructans arrive largely intact in the colon where they selectively feed beneficial gut microbiota. In addition, inulin-type fructans promote normal colon transit times, enhance absorption of calcium and magnesium, favorably modulate lipid levels, improve gut mucosal barrier and immune function, regulate intestinal epitheial cell growth, and reduce the number of potentially harmful bacterial species. Arabinogalactan, a polysaccharide derived from the Western Larch tree, is a highly soluble dietary fiber that enhances immune function by promoting cytokine production and increasing the number of natural killer cells. Indigestible by human enzymes, arabinogalactan exerts prebiotic properties including the ability to selectively stimulate Lactobacillus species. Arabinogalactan is metabolized to short-chain fatty acids acetate, butyrate, and propionate and reduces ammonia production.   Beta-glucan, a glucose polysaccharide prebiotic fiber, has a broad, beneficial effect on immune function through the enhancement of monocytes, macrophages, and natural killer cells. Beta-glucan stimulates an immune response to a wide spectrum of pathogens, including fungal (Candida albicans), Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus), and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) microorganisms. Gi Restore is recommended to nutritionally support optimal gasrointestinal function, promote populations of healthful colonic bacteria, and enhance gastrointestinal and systemic immune function.GI Restore works synergistically with probiotics to assure intestinal microflora balance. Available in both powder and vegetarian capsule form.   Suggested Use: 1 to 2 scoops daily. Mix powder in cold, warm, or hot foods or beverages as desired.   Warning: Do not use if shrinkwrap is broken or missing. Store in a cool, dry place (59F-85F) away from direct light.
