Peptic-care Zc (60 Capsules)
Reduces GI discomfort by decreasing GI tract inflammation Supports wound healing & antioxidant defense Peptic-Care ZC provides patented support for reducing GI discomfort by decreasing inflammation in the GI tract. Zinc-carnosine has a slow dissociation rate and adheres to the stomach lining. Once dissociated, zinc and carnosine support GI comfort by maintaining healthy cytokine release and reducing inflammation in the gut. Studies have suggested this combination has greater effects on gastric mucosal integrity than either ingredient alone. Inflammation of the GI tract can lead to increased intestinal permeability and epithelial damage, affecting villi and tight junction integrity. In turn, this can result in microbial imbalance and GI discomfort. A double-blind, multicenter Japanese study of 299 subjects described a positive effect of zinc-carnosine on objective and subjective parameters of gastric health, particularly after eight weeks. Seven additional clinical evaluations with over 550 volunteers indicate similar results. Specifically, one study reported that zinc-carnosine maintained healthy intestinal permeability, which is positively associated with GI comfort. The antioxidant vitamin C is also included to promote wound healing by aiding in collagen formation.
