Thorne Research EnteroMend Stomach Health Supplement, (Orange Vanilla), 5.9 oz (168 g)

Description

EnteroMend® combines the mucosal protective properties of L-Glutamine with highly absorbable botanical complexes to provide a unique amino/botanical formula that supports overall gut health. Meriva® and Casperome® (curcumin and boswellia phytosomes for improved absorption) help support a healthy inflammatory response in the gastrointestinal tract. DaltonMax 700®, a unique 200:1 potency aloe extract, soothes the intestinal mucosa. Sunfiber® promotes healthy intestinal flora, normal butyrate levels and regular bowel movements. L-glutamine is present to reduce intestinal permeability. EnteroMend is an orange and vanilla flavored powder that mixes easily with water or other beverage.

Boswellia Phytosome (Casperome®) is a unique Boswellia extract that is linked to Phosphatidylcholine for enhanced absorption. A study comparing Casper with the same boswellia extract not complexed with phosphatidylcholine found 11-keto-β-boswellic acid plasma levels to be 7-fold higher and a 3-fold increase in plasma β-boswellic acid levels with boswellia phytosome consumption .

Curcumin Phytosome (Meriva®) is a unique curcumin extract that is also linked to Phosphatidylcholine to significantly increase curcumin absorption. A randomized crossover study compared plasma levels of curcuminoids from curcumin in a complex with phosphatidylcholine (Meriva) and curcumin not included in the complex.Total plasma curcuminoids were 29 times higher in the Meriva group than in the uncomplexed curcumin group.

In an animal study, curcumin phytosome (Meriva) had a relaxing effect on the muscles of the ileum and colon. Curcumin has been shown to help maintain normal neurotransmitter levels to support healthy gastrointestinal function.

Aloe Vera (DaltonMax 700®) is a unique 200:1 potency aloe extract that is non-laxative. Organic DaltonMax 700 is extracted from the internal gel of the aloe plant and does not contain the upset stomach parts of the aloe plant. or have a laxative effect. It does not contain solvents, and its low temperature dehydration preserves its bioactive ingredients. Research confirms the protective effect of aloe vera on the gastrointestinal tract.

Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum (PHGG) – Sunfiber® – is included because short-chain fatty acid butyric acid is the primary fuel for colonocytes in the colon and is produced in the colon by fiber fermentation, especially from guar gum. Butyric acid is essential for maintaining healthy structure and function of the colon.

In a study comparing PHGG with wheat bran, both substances significantly improved bowel habits in people who had less than ideal gastrointestinal health, although patients preferred PHGG and fewer side effects were reported. Another PHGG study reported an improvement in quality of life in a similar patient. population.

L-glutamine, in addition to being the primary fuel for enterocytes in the small intestine, also attaches to butyric acid as a fuel source for colonocytes lining the colon. Like the small intestine, the colon can become hyperpermeable, and L-glutamine improves intestinal barrier dysfunction in the colonic epithelium.
