Dysbiosis​

Dysfunctional gastrointestinal processes vary widely. Chronic abdominal pain with persistent or recurrent tendencies may be associated with abnormalities in bowel function and structure. The prevalence of gastrointestinal problems presenting in this way ranges anywhere from 5 to 20% of people being affected. 

Depending on the symptoms presented, there are a variety of ways to help ameliorate symptoms. For example, antispasmodics such as peppermint oil can help with pain associated with digestive dysfunction. Both probiotics and fiber contribute to improving stool consistency through the mechanism of creating a healthy microbiota,  which can lend to easier passing as well as serving as an indicator for digestive health. Having integral intestinal permeability helps the body absorb nutrients and dispose of waste properly; the amino acid glutamine helps to improve this function and may contribute to better digestion. 

Imbalance in bacteria in the gut can cause many gastrointestinal symptoms, brain fog, fatigue, and overall lack of well-being. Using herbs and probiotics to reestablish balance is necessary.

Based on current research findings, the ingredients in the protocol below have demonstrated efficacy in improving a variety of factors associated with gastrointestinal upset or digestive dysfunction.
