Highlights
- 30 servings • Net wt 245 g • Vanilla Hibiscus flavor
- Gut lining core: L-glutamine + zinc carnosine + colostrum (dairy)
- Prebiotic fibers: arabinogalactan, glucomannan, prune, fenugreek
- Enzyme blend: protease, amylase, bromelain (pineapple), papain (papaya), serrapeptase + more

- Manufactured in a U.S. FDA-inspected, GMP-compliant facility with testing at multiple stages
Who it’s for
- People who want one powder that combines lining nutrients + enzymes + prebiotics for day-to-day GI support‡
- Those who want meals to feel lighter and more comfortable with broad-spectrum digestive enzymes‡
- Anyone building a “gut reset” routine focused on barrier support + microbiome nourishment‡
- People who prefer a mixable powder they can use with water or smoothies
Who should be cautious
- Contains colostrum (dairy): avoid if you need a dairy-free product
- Botanical enzymes: bromelain (pineapple) and papain (papaya) may not be suitable for some sensitivities
- Includes mushroom/beta-glucan ingredients (consider if you have sensitivities)
- If you have food allergies, are pregnant/nursing, under 18, or use medications, check with your clinician first
Why it matters
Your gut does more than digest food - it influences mood, cravings, metabolism, and immunity. When the gut lining is irritated or the microbiome is off, you feel it. This formula supports the places that matter most:
- Barrier/lining support to help you feel soothed and regular‡
- Microbiome nourishment so beneficial bacteria can thrive‡
- Digestive enzymes for comfortable meals - less heavy, less gassy‡
- Immune & inflammatory tone so your gut stays calm under stress‡
Allergy & diet notes
Contains colostrum (dairy) and botanical enzymes (bromelain from pineapple; papain from papaya). Includes mushroom/beta-glucan ingredients. If you have food allergies or are on medications, check with your clinician before use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a probiotic?
No - it’s prebiotic + lining + enzyme + immune support. You can pair it with your favorite probiotic (separate timing if you’re sensitive).
When will I feel a difference?
Many notice gentler digestion within 1–2 weeks; microbiome and lining support build with consistent daily use.
Can I take it with meals?
You can mix it with water with or between meals. If you’re using it mainly for enzyme support, many prefer it before or with food.
Any ingredients I should know about?
Contains colostrum (dairy) and plant-based enzymes (bromelain, papain). If you’re allergic to dairy, pineapple, or papaya - or have a sensitivity to cat’s claw or mushrooms - consult your clinician.
Is it okay with medications?
Enzymes and botanicals can interact with certain meds (e.g., anticoagulants). Check with your healthcare professionalif you take medications or have a medical condition.
Who is this best for if I’m sensitive?
Start low: many sensitive users begin with 1/2 scoop once daily, then increase gradually as tolerated.
Should I use this daily or in cycles?
Both work. Many use it daily for baseline support, while others run it in 2–4 week phases during higher-stress seasons, travel, or when digestion feels off.
Can I stack this with other gut products (enzymes, probiotics, glutamine)?
Often yes, but avoid duplicating the same category. If you add extra enzymes or extra glutamine, adjust based on your goals and tolerance.
