Gut Supplement

aguulp for gut can help to tackle many aspects of IBS since it contains ingredients that have been shown to help address some of the most common underlying causes of IBS such as dysbiosis (imbalance of gut bacteria) and increased gut permeability.

The prebiotics in the product will help to encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut, helping to address any issues of Dysbiosis but also we know that the gut microbiota can have a positive effect on mental health, including anxiety.

This product is designed to offer overall gut support and can be taken as a maintenance product as opposed to aguulp for biome product which contains high levels of both pre and probiotics and is designed to be taken as a ‘boost’ product to the gut microbiome. aguulp for gut is better taken daily and over the longer term as a maintenance product.

Since Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory condition, the main areas of focus from a nutritional perspective are both the implementation of anti- inflammatory strategies to help reduce inflammation in the digestive tract and to help relieve symptoms, and the correction of potential nutrient deficiencies due to malabsorption issues.

aguulp for gut contains ingredients that have been shown to help support gastro- intestinal function and minimise inflammation in the gut. Whilst the aguulp product is not a multi vitamin and mineral product, it does also contain a number of important vitamins and minerals that are often found to be deficient in Crohn’s disease such as vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc and selenium.  Further details of the ingredients can be found below:

• L-Glutamine is the most abundant non-essential amino acid in human muscle. Glutamine supplementation has been shown to protect against inflammation, improve intestinal barrier function and help to reduce intestinal permeability.
• Collagen – low levels have been associated with inflammatory bowel disease and digestive imbalances. One of the key amino acids in collagen is glutamine which is believed to help prevent inflammation and play a part in the repair and healing of the gut wall.
• Zinc encourages healing and reduces gut inflammation. Zinc has also been shown to reduce gut permeability via actively having a positive effect on tight junctions.
• Antioxidants – such as vitamin C, can increase collagen synthesis and can help reduce inflammation.

Whilst aguulp for gut would be deemed suitable for those suffering from Crohns, for anyone with an underlying health condition it is important to discuss the use of any new supplements with your GP who will have access to your medical records. This is especially important if you are currently being medically treated or are taking any medications.

According to the literature available, there would be no reason why any of the ingredients in aguulp for gut would be unsuitable following gallbladder removal.

In fact, whilst the supplement has not been designed specifically to address some of the complications as a result of gallbladder removal, some of the ingredients would be expected to provide some benefit from this perspective. Research has shown that gallbladder removal may result in alterations in the composition of gut bacteria.

The prebiotic fibres in aguulp for gut act as a food source to the healthy bacteria residing in the gut and therefore can encourage the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and help to rectify any imbalances in the gut.

Furthermore, one of the complications of gallbladder removal is the reduced capacity to digest fats, since certain vitamins are fat soluble such as vitamin D, deficiency of this vitamin (and other fat soluble vitamins such as A, E and K) may be more likely in those who have undergone this procedure. aguulp for gut product provides 400IU vitamin D and so will help to contribute to vitamin D intake.

It would be advisable however to discuss the suitability of any new supplements with your GP or healthcare provider who will have access to your medical history and medical records.

aguulp for gut contains several nutrients that have been shown to help with gastro- intestinal complaints, including acid reflux problems (GERD).

Firstly, collagen has been found to be involved in the regulation of secretory gastric fluids and for this reason collagen is thought to aid digestion. Excess stomach acid can lead to digestive problems such as heartburn and stomach ulcers, the regulating action of collagen can help to prevent an over acidic environment and conditions like this.

Furthermore, collagen also aids digestion- collagen is reported to help move food through the GI tract more smoothly, assisting with the breakdown of other proteins and carbohydrates in the intestines due to its ability to attract water and acidic molecules, attributed to its hydrophilic nature. This action helps to facilitate the digestion process.

Vitamin D is vital for the proper functioning of muscle cells, a deficiency may impair functioning of muscle cells, including within the digestive tract, contributing to potential reflux issues. Low vitamin D levels also impair absorption of magnesium and calcium and since calcium is helps with muscle contraction, this may also be a contributing factor which may impair proper muscle functioning in the digestive system, leading to potential conditions such as GERD. For this reason, correcting a vitamin D deficiency may be of considerable importance in in addressing symptoms of GERD (acid reflux).

Prebiotics in aguulp for gut help encourage a healthy gut environment by acting as a food source to probiotics found naturally occurring in the digestive system.

Kefir milk contains live active, growing cultures of strains of normal flora that repopulate the gut. These would be expected to work synergistically alongside the prebiotics in aguulp for gut.
