What is Gastro Guard?
Gastro Guard combines a clinically studied prebiotic fibre, Sunfibre, with the natural soothing power of Aloe Vera, and the potent antioxidant, SGS Broccoli (sulforaphane). This unique blend helps on multiple digestive fronts. The prebiotic fibre helps to grow healthy gut bacteria and manage blood sugar levels. The aloe vera helps to relieve stomach upset and inflammation, and the SGS Broccoli helps to mop up oxidative free radicals in the GI tract during times of gastric distress. Overall, this helps to “guard” your digestive tract from acute upset, as well as repair and protect the gastrointestinal system.
I personally bring a small amount of Gastro Guard with me whenever I travel since it can double as a maintenance fibre supplement if my diet is poor, as well as an acute gastric reliever if I get traveller’s diarrhea, stomach upset, gas or bloating. The aloe vera component can also help with mild to moderate acid reflux if I decide to have a night out of wings and beer. I often combine it with NutriChem’s shelf-stable probiotic, Nutridophilus, to help with any digestive issues I encounter while traveling.
Why Gastro Guard?
This is the beauty of Gastro Guard- it can be used as a daily fibre supplement long-term, and it can also be used acutely to soothe the digestive tract if you are having stomach upset right now. Plus, it can help reduce oxidative free radicals in the gut that can contribute to inflammation and indigestion. So, Gastro Guard can be added to a smoothie every day as part of your morning healthy shake routine, or you can use it only as needed if you eat something funky that is simply not agreeing with you. Or you can use it for both!
