Science & Research:
Gamma oryzanol has a history of use for supporting the health of the stomach lining. Its mechanism has yet to be clarified, but may involve the autonomic nervous system, which regulates gastric secretory activity.1, 2 DGL, marshmallow and slippery elm are traditionally recognized for their value in soothing the gastrointestinal tract and maintaining the integrity of the mucosal lining.3-5 Artichoke helps to stimulate the digestive process.6 Plant enzymes further promote the digestive process by assisting in the breakdown of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
