How Intestamine Works

Intestamine is from the Douglas Labs Gastrointestinal Support product line.

Intestamine provides significant amounts of L-glutamine, an amino acid that plays a key role in the metabolism, structure, and function of the entire gastro-intestinal (GI) tract, and its extensive immune system. Glutamine is the major energy source for intestinal cells, and under conditions of physiological stress the GI tract benefits greatly from extra dietary glutamine. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found in blood, and is a vehicle for nitrogen transport. Glutamine-consuming tissues, such as the GI tract, the liver and the immune system, use glutamine for the synthesis of nucleotides, proteins and amino sugars. Glutamine carries potentially toxic ammonia to the kidneys for excretion, and participates in supporting normal acid-base balance.

NutraFlora FOS is a carbohydrate that passes through the small intestine into the colon without being digested or absorbed. Once in the colon, FOS selectively feeds the beneficial symbiotic bacteria, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacteria, and other acid-producing bacteria. Regular consumption of FOS has been shown to support normal levels of these beneficial bacteria in the colon. This in turn creates a slightly acidic environment in the colon that is unreceptive to potentially harmful bacteria and other microorganisms.

Acacia fiber is not digested in the upper intestine, but extensively fermented by the beneficial colonic microflora. The fermentation products are short chain fatty acids, such as acetic, propionic and butyric acid. These short chain fatty acids have several functions in the normal colon. They provide an acid environment that favors the growth of the acid-loving beneficial Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria. Also, short chain fatty acids are important for colonic water absorption and a normal stool consistency. Lastly , they are utilized as an energy source by the cells of the colonic mucosa. Adequate amounts of fermentable dietary fiber appear to be necessary to support normal structure and function of the colonic mucosa.

N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (NAG) is a naturally occurring amino sugar. NAG is found in glycosaminoglycans which are major structural components in intestinal mucous secretions as well as connective tissues. Supplementation with these amino sugars often helps support normal glycosaminoglycan synthesis and intestinal mucous production.
