Healthy Gut

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS? 

A healthy gut is essential to overall health. “Leaky gut” or a compromised digestive system can be the cause of a myriad of health problems such as food sensitivities, IBS, depression, poor immune system function, and fatigue, just to name a few. When we have a “leaky gut”, bacteria and foreign substances, which should not be able to enter the bloodstream, do just this, causing many health issues. Unfortunately, in today's society it is very easy to compromise our digestive health through poor diet, stress, pain-killers (NSAIDs like ibuprofen), antibiotics, alcohol consumption, and smoking. This drip is created to assist with gut healing. 

​

WHO IS IT FOR? 

Any adult with Leaky Gut or any inflammatory GI conditions will benefit from this drip. 

​

WHAT'S INSIDE? 

Our Healthy Gut drip is designed to reduce inflammation and strengthen the intestinal lining of the GI tract. Zinc and L-glutamine both reduce intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”) closing the tight-junctions between intestinal cells and thus protecting us from over-activating our immune systems and setting off inflammation. 

​

L-Arginine is included in this IV because it raises the levels of IGF-1 (the active form of Growth Hormone) a critical component in maintaining GI integrity. 

Glycyrrhizin has been added to this IV as it is a strong anti-inflammatory with cortisol modulating properties. The other ingredients are antioxidants such as vitamin C and glutathione which are important protectors of the mucous layer and cells of the intestinal tract, shielding against the damage done from intestinal inflammation. 

​

HOW OFTEN? 

For best results, a Healthy Gut drip should be repeated once a week for at least 3-4 weeks or as needed.
