Mucosagen is a comprehensive formula designed to help support the gastrointestinal mucosal barrier health and boost detoxification pathways.

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS

  • Supports GI Barrier Health
  • Boosts Liver Function and Detoxification Pathways
  • Promotes Inflammatory Balance and Mucin Production in the GI tract

OVERVIEW

Under healthy conditions, the gastrointestinal (GI) tract contains a semipermeable epithelial mucosal barrier which protects against the unwanted passage of food antigens, toxins, and microorganisms from crossing directly into the bloodstream. Several factors can affect the integrity of the epithelial barrier including medications (particularly NSAIDs) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), stress, alcohol intake, injury, trauma, microbial imbalance and poor nutrition. Reducing the impact of these factors and preserving a healthy GI tract is critical for maintaining long term health.

Mucosagen is a comprehensive formula designed to help support barrier function of the gastrointestinal GI lining. The mucosal epithelium serves multiple purposes including allowing nutrients from the diet to be absorbed and digested while simultaneously serving as a barrier that protects against unwanted food particles, toxins and microorganisms from passing directly into the body. Mucosagen includes a synergistic blend of ingredients that support the health of the GI lining while promoting inflammatory balance and liver detoxification pathways to support overall health.

Suggested Use:

2 capsules three times per day or as recommended by your health care professional

INGREDIENT BENEFITS

L-Glutamine

L-glutamine is an amino acid which serves as a primary source of fuel for the small intestines. Epithelial cells in the small intestines (enterocytes) use L-glutamine as their metabolic fuel which helps maintain mucosal growth, structure, and function. In times of stress, L-glutamine has been shown to become a conditionally essential amino acid, helping to regenerate and maintain a healthy mucosal barrier.

Gamma Oryzanol

Gamma oryzanol is a natural component of rice bran oil. It is a mixture of ferulic acid esters of sterol and triterpene alcohols. Rice bran oil includes about 1-2% gamma oryzanol, which functions as a highly effective antioxidant in the GI tract.

N-Acetyl Glucosamine

N-acetyl glucosamine is the acetylated form of glucosamine. N-acetyl glucosamine is a mucin precursor and has been shown to increase the production of mucus within the GI tract.

Lactoferrin

Lactoferrin is a glycoprotein that is naturally found in colostrum, a milky fluid produced by the mammary glands. Lactoferrin plays a major role in supporting immune health including both innate and adaptive immune functions. Lactoferrin helps support microbial and inflammatory balance.

Silymarin (Milk Thistle Seed Extract)

Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is an annual plant indigenous to Europe and the United States and has been used for centuries as an herbal medicine to support liver health. The extract of milk thistle has silymarin, the biologically active component found in the seeds and leaves of this plant. Silymarin provides liver- protective effects via several mechanisms of action, including inhibiting lipid peroxidation; supporting liver detoxification through enhancement of the liver’s glucuronidation pathways; and protection against glutathione depletion.

N-Acetyl Cysteine

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a sulfyhydryl containing amino acid that is commonly used to support liver and gut health. NAC is an effective precursor to the major antioxidant in the body, glutathione. Oral supplementation with NAC has been shown to increase intracellular glutathione levels.

Micronutrient Blend

Mucosagen includes the synergistic nutrient combination of zinc, vitamin A, and biotin, which are crucial form maintaining GI health. Zinc is an essential mineral that is widely recognized for its role in gut and immune health. Zinc has been shown to strengthen GI barrier function by supporting the structure of tight junctions. Vitamin A is crucial for supporting GI integrity, promoting inflammatory balance by reducing NFkB, and supporting mucus production. Biotin is an essential nutrient that is produced by several species of intestinal bacteria. Biotin deficiency is often present in individuals with GI challenges.
