Gastro Comfort with PepZin GI™ — 60 Veg Capsules

What's in Gastro Comfort? Gastro Comfort contains the patented compound PepZin GI™, a combination of zinc and the amino acid L-carnosine. This compound is stable and is slowly broken down in the digestive tract. Additionally, the supplement contains mastic gum, a natural resin derived from the Pistacia lentiscus tree, and aloe vera (in a concentrated 200:1 extract form) from the plant's inner leaf. Finally, it also contains slippery elm, derived from the bark of the red elm (Ulmus rubra). What is PepZin GI™? PepZin GI™ is a patented compound of zinc and L-carnosine, developed and registered by Hamari Chemicals, Ltd. This form of zinc is slowly broken down in the digestive tract and has a different chemical structure than standard zinc salts. In this formula, it is combined with botanical ingredients for a balanced product that fits well into a supplement regimen. Why mastic gum, aloe vera, and slippery elm? These three botanical substances originate from traditional uses: Mastic gum is a resin derived from Pistacia lentiscus and has been harvested for centuries in the Mediterranean region. Aloe vera is used here in a 200:1 concentrated extract from the inner leaf. No whole leaves or latex parts are processed. Slippery elm is the bark of the red elm (Ulmus rubra), traditionally used for the presence of mucilage. These ingredients are added in low doses and make this supplement a gentle formula for daily use.
