The active ingredient in Stomach Lining Support, zinc-carnosine, has been a successful product in Japan since 1994 for stomach disorders such heartburn, indigestion, stomach irritation and ulcers, as well as inhibiting Helicobacter pylori, the bacteria associated with stomach ulcers. H. pylori is present in more than 50% of the global population and approximately 20% of the US population and is closely associated with stomach irritation and ulcerations.
Zinc-carnosine is a proprietary combination of L-carnosine — a naturally occurring dipeptide found in muscle and brain tissue — with elemental zinc, to form a powerful antioxidant, tissue-healing and mucosal-supportive complex. Animal studies have shown that this chelated molecule has biological activity that surpasses that of the either of the two ingredients used alone, or a simple mixture of the two ingredients. Human trials of zinc-carnosine demonstrate remarkable improvements in objective outcomes as well as subjective symptoms such as heartburn, nausea, vomiting, belching and bloating.
Stomach Lining Support can:
- Promote a healthy gastric bacterial balance.
- Provide antioxidant protection for gastric mucosal cells.
- Help maintain the integrity of the protective gastric mucosal lining by supporting healthy mucus secretion.
