G.I. Fortify (capsules)* are a blend of high-impact fiber, herbs and nutrients to support overall gastrointestinal function and health. G.I. Fortify (capsules)* specifically support the function, microflora balance, cellular health and detoxification of the G.I. tract.*

Supports G.I. function, motility and detoxification*

√ Supports short chain fatty acid (SCFA) production to promote a healthy G.I. environment, microflora balance, and colon cell health*

√ Promotes healthy intestinal cellular integrity and enhances the protective mucosal lining with l-glutamine, an important energy source for the G.I. tract in times of stress or increased metabolic demand*

√ Enhances healthy G.I. detoxification with fiber and chlorella*

√ G.I. Fortify (capsules)* is designed to support a healthy G.I. environment, bowel regularity, colon cell function and detoxification.*
Supports the function, microflora balance, integrity, tone, comfort, cellular health and detoxification of the gastrointestinal tract*
This product is a blend of high-impact fiber, herbs and nutrients, supporting overall gastrointestinal function and occasional constipation. Psyllium is a valued source of soluble fiber, helping to promote larger and softer stools for healthy bowel movement frequency.
It is fermented in the intestines, producing short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that provide an energy source for the colon to maintain healthy colon cell function and promote beneficial microflora.
Flaxseed provides a source of lignans, fatty acids, and both soluble and insoluble fibers, enhancing the gut health potential of this complex. In times of stress or increased metabolic demand, glutamine is an especially important source of energy for the G.I. tract.
It also maintains gut integrity and enhances the protective mucosal lining to ensure proper nutrient utilization while limiting the amount of toxins that pass through the intestinal barrier.
G.I. Fortify* provides a combination of deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL), aloe, slippery elm and marshmallow root to support gut integrity and provide a soothing effect.
Triphala is a standardized blend of three fruit extracts, Terminalia chebula, Terminalia belerica, and Emblica officinalis. It is an Ayurvedic blend prized for supporting intestinal detoxification, occasional constipation, and overall colon health.

What Is It?

GI Fortify is a blend of high-impact fiber, herbs and nutrients, providing far-reaching support for gastrointestinal function and occasional constipation.
By combining psyllium with Nutra-Flax™ high-lignan flax seed, glutamine, DGL Plus® and triphala, this formula is designed to promote function, microflora balance, integrity, tone, comfort, cellular health and detoxification of the gastrointestinal tract.*

Uses For G.I. Fortify (capsules)

G.I. Motility: Psyllium, Plantago indica or blond psyllium, is a valued source of soluble fiber. Soluble fiber increases stool volume when taken with appropriate amounts of water, supporting larger and softer stools for healthy bowel movements. As the bulk moves through the intestine, it helps to collect and eliminate other waste and toxins from the intestinal walls. This helps to minimize the amount of exposure of the gastrointestinal tract to toxins. Flaxseeds provide a source of lignans, fatty acids, and both soluble and insoluble fibers, enhancing the gut health potential of this complex.*

G.I. Integrity: l-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body. In times of stress or increased metabolic demand, glutamine is an especially important source of energy for the G.I. tract.

In the gut, glutamine maintains healthy integrity of the intestinal tract and enhances the protective mucosal lining. This helps to ensure proper nutrient utilization and absorption while limiting the amount of toxins that pass through the intestinal barrier.*

G.I. Cell Health: Soluble fiber is fermented in the large intestines by intestinal microflora, producing short chain fatty acids (SCFAs).

SCFAs are extremely important energy sources for the colon and have protective effects for healthy colon cell function. Furthermore, SCFAs keep the intestinal environment acidic, providing optimal conditions for lactobacillus and other beneficial bacteria to thrive.

The fiber content of flax seed provides additional support for healthy intestinal function, microflora balance, and overall colon health.

The ability of lignans to support colon cell health has been reported in numerous studies and may be due in part to antioxidant protection and the ability to promote healthy beta-glucuronidase activity and detoxification.

Chlorella, the most studied “green food”, is traditionally celebrated for its digestive and cleansing properties. Furthermore, its nutrient rich matrix includes vitamins, minerals, protein, carotenoids, and flavone compounds to support cellular health.*

Each serving of G.I. Fortify typically provides 3 grams soluble fiber, 1 gram insoluble fiber and 11 mg lignans from psyllium and flaxseed.

Recommendations

Pure Encapsulations recommends 3-6 capsules daily, in divided doses, with a meal and 8-12 oz. water. Are There Any Potential Side Effects Or Precautions?

Are There Any Potential Side Effects Or Precautions?

Not to be taken by pregnant or lactating women. Psyllium and flaxseed may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, including bloating, flatulence, addominal pain or diarrhea. In rare cases, psyllium has been associated with headache, backache, rhinitis, increased cough, and sinusitis.
Psyllium should be consumed with adequate water, as case reports indicate a potential for bowel obstruction when it is consumed without water.
Rarely, individuals can have an allergic response to psyllium, with symptoms including runny nose, sneezing, conjunctivitis, skin rash, itching, flushing, chest and throat tightness, congestion, hypotension or anaphylactic shock. Consult your physician for more information.
