HealthPod Alkaline Vitamin C Capsules

Benefits of taking an alkaline based Vitamin C:

✅ Gentle on the Stomach / Non-Acidic:

This is the primary distinction. For individuals who experience stomach upset, heartburn, or digestive discomfort with traditional acidic ascorbic acid, calcium ascorbate provides a much gentler alternative. Its buffered pH makes it more comfortable for sensitive digestive systems.

✅ Enhanced Bioavailability:

Calcium ascorbate is often considered to have improved bioavailability compared to regular ascorbic acid. This means the body can more effectively absorb and utilize the Vitamin C, potentially leading to more efficient delivery of its benefits to cells and tissues.

✅ Dual Nutrient Support (Vitamin C + Calcium):

As calcium ascorbate, your product provides two essential nutrients: Vitamin C and calcium.

Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, collagen formation for healthy skin, bones, cartilage, and gums, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It also acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative stress.

Calcium is essential for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and contributes to normal muscle function and neurotransmission.

✅ Powerful Antioxidant Protection:

Like all forms of Vitamin C, calcium ascorbate is a potent antioxidant. It helps neutralize harmful free radicals in the body, protecting cells and tissues from oxidative damage and contributing to overall health and well-being.

✅ Supports Collagen Formation:

Vitamin C is crucial for the synthesis of collagen, a vital protein that provides structural integrity to skin, blood vessels, bones, cartilage, and teeth. This contributes to healthy skin appearance, wound healing, and connective tissue strength.

✅ Contributes to Immune System Function:

Vitamin C is widely recognized for its role in supporting a healthy immune system, helping the body’s natural defenses function optimally.

✅ Reduction of Tiredness and Fatigue:

Vitamin C contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and can help reduce feelings of tiredness and fatigue.

GI Restore is a comprehensive gut support supplement designed to promote intestinal healing, reduce inflammation, and support digestive health through a synergistic blend of targeted nutrients:

Glutamine

Fuel for Intestinal Cells: Glutamine is a primary energy source for enterocytes, the cells lining the small intestine. This helps them function properly and maintain the gut barrier.

Supports Gut Cell Proliferation: It plays a role in the growth and repair of the cells lining the intestine, aiding in the healing process.

Reduces Inflammation: Glutamine can help modulate the inflammatory response in the gut, which is often elevated in leaky gut syndrome.

Marshmallow Root

Marshmallow root contains polysaccharides that can act as prebiotics, feeding beneficial bacteria in the gut.

Leaky gut is often associated with chronic inflammation in the gut. Marshmallow root possesses anti-inflammatory properties that may help to calm this inflammation. Marshmallow root may help to support and enhance this mucus layer, further protecting the intestinal lining and preventing the “leakiness” associated with the syndrome. By reducing inflammation, it can contribute to the healing of the intestinal lining and the restoration of its proper barrier function.

Slippery Elm

Forms a Protective Coating – Similar to marshmallow root, slippery elm bark is rich in mucilage, a gel-like fiber that swells when mixed with water. This creates a soothing and protective coating over the irritated mucous membranes of the digestive tract, including the lining of the intestines. This barrier can shield the gut lining from further damage and irritants.

Provides Prebiotic Effects – Slippery elm contains polysaccharides that can act as prebiotics, feeding beneficial gut bacteria. A balanced gut microbiome is important for overall gut health and can contribute to the healing of leaky gut.

NMN

Supports Intestinal Cell Health: NMN is a precursor to NAD+, a crucial coenzyme involved in cellular metabolism and energy production. By boosting NAD+ levels, NMN may support the energy needs of intestinal cells, aiding in their repair and function.

Reduces Intestinal Permeability: By strengthening tight junctions and improving the overall structure of the intestinal wall, NMN has been shown to reduce the passage of harmful molecules from the gut into the bloodstream with people suffering with gut dysfunction and aging.

Reverses Age-Related Intestinal Dysfunction: Studies in older mice have shown that NMN can restore the structure of the intestinal wall, suggesting improved nutrient absorption and reduced gut permeability associated with aging.

MSM

Antioxidant Effects: MSM is known to have antioxidant properties and can help increase the levels of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant produced by the body. Glutathione is essential for protecting cells from damage, including the cells lining the gut, and supports the immune system within the gut. Reducing oxidative stress in the gut can contribute to a healthier gut barrier.

Supports Tight Junction Integrity: Some research suggests that MSM may help to rebuild the lining of the digestive tract and could reduce the permeability associated with leaky gut. This is thought to be due to the action of sulfur, a key component of MSM, which is important for the structural integrity of the gut lining

Aloe Vera & Liquorice

Soothing and Anti-inflammatory: Both Aloe vera & Liquorice are well-known for their soothing properties. They contains compounds that may help reduce inflammation in the gut lining, which is a key factor in leaky gut.

Aids Digestion and Nutrient Absorption: By promoting a healthy balance of gut bacteria and soothing the digestive tract, aloe vera & Liquorice may improve overall digestion and nutrient absorption.

Antioxidant Properties: Aloe vera contains various antioxidants, including vitamins A, C, and E. These can help combat oxidative stress in the gut, which can contribute to inflammation and damage to the intestinal lining.

Ginger & Digestive Enzymes to aid digestion and elimination of toxins.
