GastroOne™

Patient One GastroOne™ supplies comprehensive nutrition for gastrointestinal (GI) health and function. Combining over 10 science-backed ingredients, this formula supports the body’s natural defense mechanisms by stimulating the mass, quality and production of mucous, a major component of the stomach’s protective lining. Presented in a pleasant natural orange flavor, this nutritional protocol is ideal for promoting the body’s natural GI repair process. GastroOne is formulated to be shellfish free and vegetarian.

Key Ingredients

L-Glutamine is the foundation ingredient in our formula, as it plays a critical role in the metabolism, structure, and function of the entire GI tract. The most abundant free form amino acid in the body, l-glutamine acts as the major fuel source for the intestines. The intestinal mucosal cells use glutamine as a transporter of nitrogen for the biosynthesis of many important compounds.

During times of physiological stress, the intestinal tract uses large amounts of glutamine, causing blood glutamine levels to fall. Many clinical studies support the use of dietary glutamine in maintaining healthy function of the GI tract—normal intestinal permeability mucosal cell regeneration, and intestinal structure.

N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (nAG) is a naturally occurring aminoglycan found in large amounts in intestinal mucus, secretory IgA, and other immunoglobulins. It nutritionally supports the intestinal mucosa’s protective glycoprotein cover, which provides
a barrier against toxins, allergens and certain microbes in the gut lumen. Research has shown that in cases of intestinal irritation, nAG is often deficient. nAG supplementation may help restore healthy mucin levels. GastroOne supplies vegan-sourced nAG making it ideal for those who wish to avoid shellfish.

Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice extract (DGL), considered a demulcent herb, is soothing to the lining of the stomach and small intestine. It increases blood supply to mucosa, increases the
number of mucous-producing cells and enhances their mucin production capacity, which protects intestinal epithelium and extends the life span of intestinal cells. Our licorice root extract has been processed to remove the glycyrrhizin, thus eliminating risk of licorice-associated side effects.

Aloe Vera is well-known for supporting healthy epithelial tissue, including bowel lining. Aloe vera promotes a normal inflammatory response and helps to maintain healthy prostaglandin metabolism and immune mediator activity.

Slippery Elm, Marshmallow Root and Fenugreek are all mucilaginous herbs and these botanicals have a long history of use in GI support. They coat and soothe tissues of the GI tract, creating a protective mucous lining to promote gut integrity and lower the instance of GI distress.

Methylsulphonylmethane (MSM) is an organic sulfur compound that acts as an important cell builder and binder of soft tissues in the body. It has been found to increase immune system function by providing support for an overly permeable gut, coating the lining of the GI tract and enhancing intestinal barrier function. Chamomile is rich in certain essential oils that help soothe the walls of the intestines, helping to ease GI discomfort. Its mildly bitter qualities help stimulate liver function, increasing the secretion of bile – aiding the digestive process. Ginger calms and soothes the intestinal tract and supports digestive function. Quercetin has been shown to enhance intestinal barrier function in human intestinal cells. This flavonoid provides support by inhibiting histamine release from intestinal mast cells. 

FiberAid® is a branched polysaccharide extracted from western larch and tamarack larch trees. Larch tree arabinogalactan is an excellent source of fiber and stimulates immune function. It acts as a prebiotic supporting beneficial gut microflora while protecting against endogenous pathogens.

Zinc L-Carnosine supports the healthy ecology, natural defenses and integrity of the stomach lining. It has been shown to support a healthy gastric environment.
