GI Sustain is a medical food formulated to provide specialized nutritional support, including amino acids and prebiotic fiber, combined with readily digestible, low-allergenic-potential macronutrients for patients with leaky gut syndrome. Featuring L-glutamine and isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMO), this formula supports intestinal mucosal integrity and promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria to address dysbiosis associated with leaky gut syndrome. This product supports microbial balance and nourishes the cells of the colonic mucosa. It features low-allergy-potential rice protein concentrate supplemented with L-lysine HCl and L-threonine for an improved protein source. It provides rice syrup solids as a natural energy source and a readily absorbed and metabolized lipid source. It provides the prebiotic IMO to selectively nourish beneficial bacteria, including lactobacillus and bifidobacteria. IMO is a gentle fiber that is naturally sweet but has a low-glycemic index. GI Sustain is formulated with nutrients such as zinc gluconate and L-glutamine to nutritionally support gastrointestinal mucosal integrity.
