L-GLUTAMINE SAP
L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the human body. Glutamine is metabolized in the small intestine and serves as an important fuel source for intestinal mucosa. Glutamine plays an important protective role in the intestinal tract, and is crucial for patients with increased permeability of the intestinal system, which can be seen in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases including, Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, as well as in irritable bowel syndrome and allergies. This amino acid plays an important role in nutrient metabolism, the immune system, protein turnover, and acid-base balance. With infection, severe burns, cancers, and some other pathologies, both intracellular and extracellular concentrations of glutamine are markedly reduced. This leads us to believe that glutamine supplementation may play an important role in the body’s ability to recover from illness. Glutamine has also been studied for use in patients after gastric surgery and may act as a motility-recovery agent after gastrectomy. Patients receiving treatment for cancer often experience malnutrition and cachexia, which may be improved with glutamine supplementation.

Canadian Bitters®
- Soothing relief of uncomfortable digestive symptoms such as heartburn, indigestion, constipation, bloating, and gas
- A unique spectrum of herbs with bitter compounds that help reduce sugar cravings and optimize nutrient absorption, critical to many bodily systems, including a strong immune system
- Helps retrain the body’s digestive system, encouraging it to function more efficiently on-going instead of merely providing a temporary solution.
- Not habit-forming, like other laxative-heavy bitters formulas, or some over-the-counter options
Who It’s For: Adults
Use For: Digestive problems such as gas, bloating, stomach upset, or any kind of dyspepsia. Canadian Bitters also makes for perfect day to day balance and support for your digestive health and overall wellness
How It Works: Heartburn, indigestion, constipation, and bloating are all common symptoms of sluggish or compromised digestion. Digestive prompting can come from something today’s diets often lack: bitter flavours. These stimulate the vagus nerve in the mouth, which ultimately results in the production of saliva, gastric juices, enzymes, and bile–crucial elements of healthy digestion.
Bitters also help the nervous system to shift into “rest and digest” mode (rather than “fight or flight”), which allows for optimal digestion.
Improving the digestion in this way has numerous benefits:
-helps eliminate digestive upset such as gas, bloating, and heartburn
-greater absorption of critical nutrients
-support for the immune system
-reduction in sugar cravings
+
-retrains the digestive system to function more efficiently on-going, instead of merely providing a temporary solution.

Research from the University of Toronto has recently revealed that the amount of probiotics present in probiotic yogurts is too low to experience the claimed benefits.
Certain clinical trials have found probiotics to be effective for a host of things, from stomach issues to cavity-causing bacteria. However, the probiotic content in yogurt can be up to 25 times below the minimum of effectiveness. This means that consumers would have to eat more yogurt to have even a chance of achieving the advertised benefits; more could mean 2 servings or 25 servings, depending on the yogurt. Kefir contained the highest dosage of probiotics and the greatest variety of probiotic strains compared to yogurt, but because the specific strain combinations have not been studied, determining the benefits is difficult. It should also be noted that the products used in the study were typical grocery store brands, not health food store brands.
The researchers concluded that probiotics are important for health, and probiotic products still have some value; however, they emphasized that a good probiotic product should have at least 10 billion bacteria per serving.
Our Laktokhan® probiotic contains 10 billion CFU (colony-forming units) of four human strains of “friendly” intestinal microflora: Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, and Bifidobacterium longum. These friendly bacteria help keep harmful bacteria from multiplying in our intestines. Antibiotics can kill off healthy bacteria and lead to weakened immunity and intestinal disorders. Laktokhan® restores the balance of good bacteria, thus helping to normalize digestive function and boost immunity.
Another feature of Laktokhan® is our packaging. Oxidization kills live bacterial cultures. Oxidization begins to occur the moment the probiotic is exposed to oxygen; when the product is first opened, all capsules begin to lose their potency. To prevent this from happening, each Laktokhan® capsule is blister packed individually and hermetically sealed to keep out oxygen: when one capsule is taken, the others remain fully active, no matter the time difference between dosing. It is shelf stable with full potency for 3 years, and if kept out of direct tropical sunlight, Laktokhan® is fully active up to 30+ Celsius, which makes it the perfect travel companion.
While human strains are the best strains, not all human strains are equal. The microflora in our GI tract is a very complex community. Human sourced probiotics are adapted to the gut environment. They are genetically mutated to adapt in the human gut environment due to the changes in lifestyle, nutrition, and environmental toxins.
We have learned from science that the adaptation process evolves continuously during one’s lifetime due to many environmental factors, such as climate changes, lifestyle, and nutrition.
Most of the strains in Laktokhan® can survive intestinal acid and bile, and they implant themselves on specific intestinal receptors, thus contributing to a longer-lasting, consistently beneficial effect. Laktokhan® also contains the prebiotic inulin, feeding only the beneficial bacteria, not the harmful organisms. Probiotics are live bacteria and in order for them to continue living they need to feed, and they do on prebiotics mixed with the probiotics. There are mainly two prebiotics on the market, FOS and Inulin. We use Inulin.
In one study, hamsters were fed semipurified diets containing 20 g/100 g fat, 0.12 g/100 g cholesterol and 0 (control), 8, 12 or 16% inulin for 5 weeks. At the end of that time, researchers found that plasma total cholesterol concentrations were significantly lowered by 18, 15 and 29% in hamsters fed 8, 12 and 16% inulin, respectively.
Laktokhan® is completely vegan, the prebiotic is sourced from chicory root; depending on how chicory root is processed (naturally or chemically), it can be either FOS or Inulin directed. An “all-natural” means of extraction is what Laktokhan® uses. It produces by fermentation long-chain fatty acids in the form of inulin. If a chemical extraction is used, a short-chain fatty acid is produced in the form of FOS. FOS can contribute to undesirable bacterial and yeast overgrowth.
By maintaining a balance between beneficial and harmful bacteria, Laktokhan® helps to manage acute infectious diarrhea and reduces the frequency of gastrointestinal disorders, such as diarrhea and nausea, during antibiotic use.

The Science
What are enzymes and how do they work?
Enzymes do digestion. They are naturally occurring proteins that speed up reactions. Enzymes act like tiny scissors, cutting up the food we’ve eaten into smaller components. This helps our body more easily and fully absorb nutrients.
Without enough enzymes, our body can struggle to break down troublesome foods, leading to occasional gas, bloating, indigestion and irregularity. With all-natural enzyme supplementation, your body gets an extra boost to the digestive process, helping maximize energy and contributing to whole-body health.*
If my body and food already produce enzymes, why do I need supplements?
Not only can an enzyme deficiency come from diet and lifestyle, but our bodies naturally produce fewer enzymes as we age. It can be hard to get what we need through diet alone because the process of cooking destroys the enzymes contained within food. Taking an enzyme supplement can help fill in the gap.
What is different about Digest Gold™ enzymes versus others?
Not all enzyme supplements are created equal, and Digest Gold has the most potent formula on the market. It contains powerful enzymes like amylase, lipase, cellulase and protease. These enzymes break down complex foods like carbohydrates, fats, fiber and protein.*
Enzymedica's proprietary Thera-blend™ technology means that the enzymes found in Digest Gold will work throughout the entire pH spectrum found along your digestive tract. When other brands' enzyme formulas may fall short, in almost all acidic or alkaline environments, Digest Gold will be effective.
What is ATPro®?
Blending ATPro with Digest Gold boosts energy by giving the body’s cells what they need for nutrient absorption.* ATP, which is found in every cell, allows nutrients to pass through the cell wall so that the all the processes that keep us alive and well can occur. However, through aging, lack of exercise or eating cooked and processed food, our bodies may begin to need more ATP than they can naturally produce.
To help the digestive process go full circle, the ATPro in Digest Gold™ is a special blend of ATP, Magnesium Citrate, Phytase and CoQ10. Not only does ATP help boost nutrient absorption, but it’s also a supercharger for enzymes, assisting your body break down food even better.* All of this leads to you having more energy to do what you love.
