Ultra Leaky Gut Support

• Skullcap Root Extract – an extract of the root of Scutellaria baicalensis, this popular Chinese botanical possesses potent antioxidant properties, and it has been shown to modulate the immune system and support cardiovascular health.1
• Bee Propolis Extract – bees create propolis by collecting a resinous sap from trees and then mixing it with wax within the hive. Propolis contains a diverse variety of potent terpenes and benzoic, caffeic, cinnamic, and phenolic acids. It is also high in flavonoids, which may account for many of its health benefits. Propolis helps maintain normal inflammatory balance, protects against oxidative stress, and helps balance the immune response.4
• Turmeric – the complete turmeric matrix includes compounds from the entire turmeric root, all working together as nature intended to deliver better results. The complete turmeric matrix supports a healthy GI tract, creates a healthy microbiome, and helps maintain normal inflammatory balance. Studies have also shown it supports the health of the GI tract, and promotes both gastrointestinal mucos and bowel health. Curcumin has been shown to provide cardiovascular protection, and to help modulate low mood and fatigue by supporting a normal immune response, normalizing oxidative stress, and preventing intestinal hyperpermeability. It has also been shown to hold promise in supporting respiratory health.
