An estimated 20 million Americans suffer stomach discomfort caused by erosion of the protective mucosal lining. A healthy mucosal lining is required to prevent acidic digestive juices from corroding the stomach wall. The presence of the Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) bacterium exerts proinflammatory effects in stomach tissue, further exacerbating stomach discomfort. Protecting against known factors that damage the gastric lining is essential to ensuring optimal stomach health. CarnoSoothe combines three remarkable nutrient compounds that naturally inhibit the growth and damaging effects of H. pylori while protecting and restoring the health of the gastric lining. The recommended daily dose of two capsules of CarnoSoothe supplies 50 milligrams of PepZin GI zinc L-carnosine. This novel chelated compound of zinc and L-carnosine works synergistically to support delicate stomach tissue while exerting inhibitory effects against H.pylori.1 In combined human clinical trials, 70 percent of patients reported that the chelated zinc-carnosine compound relieved symptoms of stomach discomfort, while 65 percent demonstrated visible evidence of healing in gastrointestinal imaging tests.1 CarnoSoothe also contains 500 milligrams of a standardized deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) extract. Licorice extract inhibits proinflammatory molecules, spurs the formation of prostaglandins that support health stomach tissue, and contains flavonoid compounds that can block the growth of even antibiotic-resistant strains of H. pylori.2-5 The formula also supplies 750 milligrams of NutriCran GI, a patented blend of cranberry, blueberry, and grape seed extracts. Rich in proanthocyanidins and other antioxidant compounds, cranberry and other plant-based extracts have been shown to retard the growth of H. pylori via several mechanism.6-7 References Biochemistry (Mosc.). 2000 Jul;65(7):817-23.
