• Bulk-forming laxative
• Blend of high-impact fibre herbs and nutrients

GI Fortify provides far-reaching support for constipation. Psyllium or Plantago ovata is a valued source of soluble fibre. Soluble fibre absorbs water to form a gel increasing stool volume when taken with appropriate amounts of water to support larger and softer stools for healthy bowel movements. As the bulk moves through the intestine it also helps to collect and eliminate other waste and toxins from the intestinal walls. Soluble fibre is fermented slowly in the colon by intestinal microflora which further helps increase fecal mass. The fermentation process produces short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) which have protective effects for healthy colon cell function as they are extremely important energy sources for the colon and may regulate colonic transit. Furthermore SCFAs keep the intestinal environment acidic providing optimal conditions for a healthy intestinal microflora. Flax is an additional source of soluble fibre and also contains fatty acids and lignans. G.I. Fortify also contains the amino acid l-Glutamine plus a combination of deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) aloe slippery elm and marshmallow root. Additionally it includes an equal proportion of three fruit extracts Terminalia chebula Terminalia bellirica and Emblica officinalis which have a long traditional history of use in the Ayurvedic medicine Triphala literally translated as “three fruits”.
