Thorne Research GI-Relief 180 vegcaps

GI-Relief supports the health of the esophagus and stomach. Its mucilaginous botanical ingredients help soothe the mucous membranes of the GI tract. Although aloe vera has significant gastroprotective efficacy, some forms of aloe vera can produce a laxative effect. GI-Relief's aloe vera ingredient comes from the inner fillet of the aloe vera plant, which avoids this effect. Similarly, licorice root preparations, which support the stomach and duodenum, can cause blood pressure to rise in some individuals when given in higher amounts. Therefore, the licorice in GI-Relief has had its glycyrrhizin removed, which prevents increases in blood pressure. GI-Relief also contains slippery elm bark (Ulmus rubra) and marshmallow root (Althea officinalis), both of which contain mucilaginous components that can help soothe the digestive tract. GI-Relief can be taken out of the capsule and mixed with warm water to drink as a tea.
