GI-MaxAid features four specialized ingredients for enhanced gastrointestinal support. This unique formula contains a concentrated extract of licorice that has been processed to remove glycyrrhizin—thus reducing risk of side effects associated with licorice. Glutamine serves as the predominant fuel and nitrogen source for the mucosal lining of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

Discussion
L-Glutamine, the most abundant free form amino acid in the body, is very important for maintaining gastro intestinal and stimulated immune cell functioning. It is an important transporter of nitrogen (and carbon) in the body and therefore, is vital in wound healing. Although glutamine can be synthesized by the intestinal mucosa, during periods of physiological stress when needs can not likely be met by the body alone, gut epithelial atrophy, ulceration and even necrosis are possible. L-glutamine is metabolized to ammonia and glutamate.
Arabinogalactan, a polysaccharide derived from the Larch tree, contributes fermentable fiber to this formula in addition to having immuno-stimulatory properties. It minimizes ammonia synthesis and absorption, enhances production of short chain fatty acids and increases the gut microflora population.
Licorice Root Extract 10:1(deglycyrrhized) is a concentrated extract that has been processed to remove glycyrrhizin, thus eliminating any risk of licorice-associated side effects. It is anti-inflammatory, antispasmotic and has laxative and soothing effects. Aspirin-induced mucosal damage has been shown to be reduced by administration of deglycyrrhized licorice.
Aloe Leaf Extract (standardized to 50% polysaccharides), used for thousands of years, is perhaps most well known for healing of damaged epithelial tissue, including the bowel lining. Despite the lack of scientific published studies there is anecdotal evidence to suggest that aloe vera helps inflammatory conditions of the gastro intestinal tract. In some individuals it may increase G.I. transit time, improve protein digestion and absorption, increases tool bulk and normalize stool bacteria where high levels of yeasts previously existed. The aloe extract used in GI-MaxAid does not have a laxative effect because the bitter principles have been removed.
