Gut Gard

Botanical Name: Glycyrrhiza glabra

Common Uses: Gut health, H. pylori management, indigestion, heartburn

GutGard is a clinically researched and tested, flavonoid-rich bioactive for daily digestive health derived from the licorice plant.

Traditional Use: 

GutGard is derived from Glycyrrhiza glabra, commonly known as licorice root. This plant is native to the Mediterranean, India, Russia, and China, and its name is derived from the Greek words "glycos" and "rhiza" meaning "sweet root." It has a long history of use in ancient Roman and traditional Chinese medicine for treating gastric conditions, coughs, and arthritis.

Research Overview: 

With more than 50 identified flavonoids, GutGard is a powerful extract supporting daily digestive health through various mechanisms. These processes include reducing inflammatory markers, increasing gut motility and integrity, and balancing the gut microbiome. GutGard's gastroprotective profile makes it an effective addition to your daily gut health regimen. 

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in the Journal of Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine: eCAM evaluated the efficacy of GutGard in reducing dyspepsia symptoms. The results showed that GutGard was well-tolerated and significantly improved dyspepsia symptoms compared to the placebo. 

In the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine: eCAM, researchers conducted another study to examine the effect of GutGard on H. pylori infection. Participants with H. pylori were given a dose of GutGard before breakfast and monitored. According to the study, individuals who received GutGard had a 41% reduction in H. pylori compared to the placebo group. These results indicate that incorporating GutGard aids in the recovery of gut conditions.

Interesting Fact: The manufacturing and processing of GutGard is powered by hydro and solar energy.
