Gut Health and Immune Support

Healthy Gut, Healthy Body

Educated consumers are increasingly aware of the vital role that digestive health plays in overall wellness. When digestion is compromised, the body’s uptake of critical nutrients, vitamins, and minerals is affected, which can quickly lead to a multitude of health challenges throughout the body. Even more, digestive tract health is at the core of the immune system response.  Clearly, a healthy digestive system is the foundation of whole health throughout the body.

1) Healthy Gut = Needed Nutrients for the Whole Body
To absorb and properly utilize all needed nutritive building blocks, the upper and lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract need to maintain appropriate pH levels, a healthy probiotic population, a strong immune response, needed enzymes and digestive cofactors, and appropriate permeability of the digestive tract lining. When any of these areas are out of balance, digestion and overall health are compromised.

2) Healthy Gut = Immune Support for the Whole Body
Along with functioning at the core of nutrient assimilation, the digestive tract is also the body’s major gate-keeper in the immune response. About 70 percent of day-to-day immune system challenges are confronted in the GI tract. The intestines make up the largest exposed mucosal surface in the body, making this system vulnerable and in need of focused immune system protection.

Today, even people who eat the healthiest diets struggle with digestive challenges.  Chlorinated water, environmental pathogens and toxins, overuse of antibiotics, processed foods, certain medications, and stress all take their toll on digestive system balance and function.

Several proven natural supplements can help enhance digestive function and, in turn, boost overall health, wellness, and immunity. Good gut health begins with supporting a healthy probiotic (friendly bacteria) population in the intestines, enhancing the immune response, and providing needed fiber along with a diet rich in whole, minimally processed foods.*

Recommended Ingredients

D-Mannose, manufactured by Danisco, is a naturally occurring simple sugar that has an inherent ability to bind to E. Coli bacteria, thus supporting both gut and urinary tract health by limiting the ability of E. coli to bind to cell walls. Danisco, the only manufacturer of natural D-Mannose, is a leading supplier of specialty carbohydrates to the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food, and flavor industries.*

Dr. Shahani’s Probiotic strains produced by Nebraska Cultures stand on over 40 years of research culminating in the signature Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1 strain. All of Dr. Shahani’s probiotics demonstrate superior stability, viability, and efficacy in successfully colonizing the gut, due in large part to NCI’s proprietary cryoprotectant and stabilizer systems. Strains may be purchased individually or in custom formulated blends for both adults and children.*

Wilke sources only high-quality Inulin. This moderate length fructooligosaccharide is able to survive the digestive process without being absorbed in the upper GI tract, arriving in the colon intact.  It serves as a perfect food for the host of beneficial bacteria resident in the colon, helping to promote a healthy GI tract.  It is classed as a prebiotic and can be derived from chicory, Jerusalem artichoke, or the agave plant. Our inulin is specifically sourced from the Mexican agave plant.
