Support Mucosa by BioMatrix
This dietary supplement offers support to the mucosal barrier of the GI tract or gut, accelerating repair, and restoring healthy function. It helps lower inflammation and prevents toxins from leaking through the gut, while also soothing the intestinal lining. Glutamine is the primary active ingredient in this formula and heals the mucosal barrier cells and tissue. It also helps reduce the volume of toxins that penetrate through the barrier into the bloodstream, thus strengthening the body’s immune function.
Support Mucosa Your First-Line Immune Defense
The mucosal barrier refers to all of the mucous membranes that comprise the primary interface between the external environment and the internal environment of the body. Support Mucosa targets the most critical barrier, which lines your intestines. When working effectively, this mucosal barrier lets beneficial things into your general circulation and keeps harmful ones out.
Support Mucosa Upgraded – August 2020
We removed ingredients which may be contraindicated for patients concerned with Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and replaced them with substances known to assist in healthy maintenance and repair of the intestinal barrier’s mucosa, without the potentially negative effects on bacterial balance.
We removed Licorice Root, Slippery Elm, and N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine. While valuable for numerous therapeutic purposes, these ingredients have the potential to feed the bacteria which contribute to SIBO.
We added Cat’s Claw Bark Extract (300 mg per serving) and Phosphatidylcholine (from sunflower seed, 300 mg per serving). These ingredients have recently increased in popularity for their broad health benefits, including specific benefits to the intestinal barrier.
While researching the Support Mucosa upgrade, there were several ingredients that rose to the top of the list – based on published studies as well as input obtained from customers, physicians, and manufacturing partners. Robust amounts of Cat’s Claw Bark Extract Phosphatidylcholine (derived from sunflower) were the best option.
Support Mucosa – Nourish and Restore
Healing of the mucosal barrier can occur when the causes are removed and targeted nutrition is delivered. Support Mucosa is specifically formulated to support the mucosal barrier of the gut wall, restoring healthy form and function to tissue. It plays several roles in soothing and restoring the intestinal lining.
A principal component in the formula is the amino acid Glutamine. Glutamines ability to support the mucosal barrier cells and tissue is well known in nutritional science.
Like each of the BioMatrix formulas, Support Mucosa’s formulation is the result of decades of collective clinical experience with virtually every major line of nutrition product available and his appreciation for the subtle interactions between botanicals. And given the array of ingredients, each with diverse contributions to health, its benefits extend far beyond the primary purpose of healing and strengthening the intestinal wall.
Gut Repair at the Cellular Level
Keeping the mucosal barrier of your small intestine is critical to the health of numerous processes, including digestion, immunity, and defense against toxic exposures. When your mucosal barrier is compromised, you are at risk of allergies, nutrient deficiencies, digestive intolerances, leaky gut, bacterial overgrowth, parasitic infections, and more. Each of these complications can irritate your mucosa even further and lead to a vicious cycle of intestinal inflammation and a wide array of symptoms.
A strong mucosal barrier relies on the combined efforts of several players, including healthy epithelial cells, mucus, and a vital immunoglobin called secretory IgA (sIgA). SIgA is an essential immune system gatekeeper that acts as your first line of defense against infectious organisms and toxins. Exhibiting a dual role in immunity, sIgA identifies and promotes the removal of harmful substances while also ensuring that your natural gut microbiome is protected. The nutrients specifically target your epithelial tissues. These tissues line the inner surfaces of cavities in many internal organs, including the intestines and play a key role in determining which substances are allowed into the bloodstream.
The Support Mucosa Advantage
Support Mucosa supports your mucosal barrier health with a blend of botanicals and the amino acid L-Glutamine, to nourish epithelial tissues, enhance the quality of mucus, promote sIgA production, and moderate inflammation. †
