About

Leaky Gut Support combines the mucosa-protective effects of L-glutamine with highly absorbable botanical complexes to provide a unique amino acid/botanical formula that supports overall intestinal health.* Curcumin and Indian frankincense (Boswellia) phytosomes, bound to phospholipids for enhanced absorption, help maintain a healthy inflammatory response in the GI tract.* Aloe vera soothes intestinal mucus membranes.* Partially hydrolyzed guar gum promotes healthy gut flora, normal butyrate levels, and bowel regularity.* L-glutamine is present to decrease intestinal permeability.* Leaky Gut Support is an orange vanilla flavored powder that's easy to mix in water.

Key Ingredients (per scoop)

• L-Glutamine: 2.5 g
• Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum: 1 g
• Aloe Vera (gel, dehydrated powder): 250 mg
• Indian Frankincense Phytosome (phospholipid complex from sunflower): 250 mg
• Curcumin Phytosome: 250 mg

Other ingredients: Citric Acid, Flavors, Rebaudioside A. 30 servings per container.

Boswellia phytosome is a unique Boswellia extract bound to phosphatidylcholine for enhanced absorption.* A study comparing Boswellia phytosome to the same Boswellia extract not complexed with phosphatidylcholine found 7-fold higher plasma levels of 11-keto-β-boswellic acid and 3-fold higher plasma levels of β-boswellic acid with consumption of the Boswellia phytosome.*

Curcumin phytosome is a unique curcumin extract also bound to phosphatidylcholine to significantly enhance the curcumin's absorption.* A randomized crossover study compared plasma levels of curcuminoids from curcumin complexed with phosphatidylcholine to a non-complexed curcumin. The total plasma curcuminoid level was 29 times higher in the curcumin phytosome group than the non-complexed curcumin group.*

Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum (PHGG) is included because the short-chain fatty acid butyric acid is the primary fuel for the colonocytes in the large intestine, and it's produced in the colon by the fermentation of fiber, particularly from guar gum. Butyric acid is essential to help maintain healthy colonic structure and function.*

L-glutamine, in addition to being the main fuel for the enterocytes in the small intestine, also joins butyric acid as a fuel source for the colonocytes lining the colon.* Similar to the small intestine, the large intestine can become hyperpermeable, and L-glutamine has been shown to ameliorate gut barrier dysfunction in the colonic epithelium.*

Because an athlete needs to know that his or her supplements are trustworthy and compliant, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of more than 200 substances banned by many major athletic organizations.

INTERACTIONS/CONTRAINDICATIONS
Curcumin has been shown to reduce the therapeutic efficacy of cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) in animal studies. In vitro research revealed that curcumin decreased camptothecin-induced death of cultured breast cancer cells. Curcumin might also interfere with the absorption and efficacy of the chemotherapy drug irinotecan, used to treat colon cancer. The concurrent use of curcumin with these agents should be avoided.
