Why Gut Nutrients Works

Gut Nutrients is a comprehensive formula designed to support the integrity and function of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The GI lining plays a crucial role in nutrient absorption, immune function, and overall health. Factors such as poor diet, stress, and environmental toxins can compromise gut integrity, leading to discomfort and systemic issues.

This supplement combines targeted nutrients and herbal extracts known to:

  • Strengthen the gut lining: Ingredients like N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine and Zinc L-Carnosine support mucosal integrity.

  • Promote healthy inflammatory responses: Herbal extracts such as Turmeric and Cat's Claw aid in maintaining balanced inflammation.

  • Support detoxification: Components like Milk Thistle Extract assist liver function, facilitating the removal of toxins.

  • Enhance digestive comfort: Aloe Vera and Slippery Elm provide soothing effects on the digestive tract.

By addressing multiple aspects of gut health, Gut Nutrients offers a holistic approach to maintaining digestive wellness.

Product Information & FAQ's

Who Needs Optimal GI

Your gut health sets the stage for your overall health. Ensuring healthy digestion and absorption of nutrients is also one of the most powerful things you can do for your immune function. Optimal GI provides a blend of herbs and nutrients that synergistically support healthy digestion, GI barrier, and immune system function.

Optimal GI was formulated by epigenetics expert Dr. Ben Lynch. This unique formula supports digestive tract function with a powerful blend of nutrients along with soothing and strengthening herbs.

Optimal GI supports the following health benefits:

  • An effective gut barrier
  • Normal intestinal motility
  • Digestive health and comfort
  • Healthy connective tissues in the GI tract
  • Healthy mucous membranes in the GI tract
  • Regular bowel movements and waste elimination
  • Healthy detoxification pathways
  • A healthy gut microbiome

An unhealthy gut can contribute to digestive issues such bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and malabsorption. Moreover, many diseases of modern society are thought to be rooted in a leaky gut. If intestinal barrier function becomes compromised, it can trigger the ongoing activation of the immune system and inflammation. With over 60% of the immune system located in the gut lining, a healthy digestive system is also critical for immune health.

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract requires more than probiotics to support healthy digestion. Optimal GI contains traditional herbs, including marshmallow root, licorice extract (DGL), milk thistle, cat’s claw, aloe vera, turmeric, and slippery elm. It also contains targeted nutrients like N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine and MSM that support gut lining health and function.

Each serving of Optimal GI provides 500 mg of citrus pectin. This natural fiber provides bulk to support healthy bowel movements. It promotes regular detoxification by binding to toxins. This formula is gluten-free and free of GMO-markers. Optimal GI is free from L-glutamine for those who do not tolerate it.

The convenient capsules provide a lower strength than our best-selling Optimal GI Plus powder. If you're ready to optimize your digestive and gastrointestinal wellness, talk to your healthcare team about Optimal GI.

What are the side effects of using Optimal GI Capsules?

Possible side effects include but are not limited to:

  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Increased bowel movements
  • Change in bowel consistency
  • Stomach upset
  • Absence of menstrual period
  • Water and sodium retention
  • Change in sexual function in men
  • Vomiting
  • Tingling of arms and legs
  • Bloating
  • Changes in energy levels
  • Itching
  • Worsening of allergy symptoms

In order to help reduce the instance of common side effects, consider consuming a lower quantity of capsules but more frequently throughout the day. According to Dr Lynch, this is a bit better tolerated than taking the full dose of capsules just once a day.

These side-effects are more likely if the recommended dosage is exceeded, if you are taking too high of a dose when first starting, or if taken on an empty stomach. Always take this product with food if you find that you may be sensitive to them on an empty stomach, and in divided doses throughout the day. Dr. Ben Lynch recommends starting with a small dose and only working your way up if needed.
