- Product Background
Nutrigut® – Science & Application
- Nutrigut, the proprietary Perilla frutescens leaf extract, contains a specific ratio of selected flavonoids, particularly Vicenin 2, in combination with rosmarinic acid; all active compounds naturally found in Perilla.
- Nutrigut uniquely combines prokinetic and antispasmodic as well as anti-inflammatory effects, leading to an immediate, perceptible relief of gastrointestinal discomfort.
- In vitro, ex vivo and human studies demonstrated that Nutrigut is able to balance bowel movement by interacting with the neurological system and therefore can counteract the effects of psychosocial factors, such as e.g. stress causing altered gut physiology leading to gastrointestinal discomfort.
- It has proven prebiotic effects, particularly to support growth of L. plantarum, _x000b_ B. lactis, B. longum infantis and B. longum longum. Due to its proven prebiotic effects it is an ideal candidate for blends with probiotic and / or other prebiotic ingredients.
- Nutrigut is the first non-probiotic, innovative ingredient that improves gastrointestinal discomfort and prevents disease linked to gut irregularity and inflammation, such as irritable bowel syndrome.
- Nutrigut is high quality, sustainable, IP protected, natural ingredient, approved to be used in food supplements in Europe and the U.S. It is a water soluble fine beige powder with a recommended daily dosage of 300 mg.
