Jarrow PepZin GI is a combination of the mineral zinc and the amino peptide L-carnosine that provides protection to all areas of the stomach including the Stomach Lining.
- Helps relieve occasional gastric discomfort
- Maintains a healthy GI environment
- Supports the health of gastric cells
- Promotes a Healthy Stomach Lining & Environment
- Science-Based Nutrition
- PepZinGi Patented Zinc-Carnosine
The lining of the stomach is protected from its own caustic gastric juices by a thin layer of of gel-like mucus. Evidence suggests that the combination of ingredients in PepZin GI isn't easily broken down by these harsh gastric juices, so it is able to strengthen the mucosal barrier by adhering to the stomach wall. PepZin GI may well promote healthy mucus secretions from stomach cells therefore maintaining a healthy bacterial balance in the GI tract.
- Strengthens the mucosal lining of the stomach
- Zinc & L-carnosine chelated to survive stomach acid
- Unique patented formula
PepZinGI is a 1:1 molecular combination of L-Carnosine (B-Alanyl-L-Histidine) and Zinc. PepZinGI enhances stomach lining integrity by stimulating the production of mesenchymal IGF-1 and by suppressing gastric epithelial NF-kB and IL-8 expression. Also, PepZinGI exerts antioxidant effects which directly reduces cellular damage caused by reactive oxygen species. The actions of PePZinGI are based on the molecular combination of L-Carnosine and Zinc, which has an affinity to adhere to and coat gastric mucosa. Because of their fast diffusion rates, non-molecular combinations (admixtures) of L-Carnosine and Zinc are far less effective.
