What owners say about L-glutamine
4/5“My condition improved when I started to take Glutamine in the morning and one banana before bed.”
2/5 Side effects“Repair phase was GI revive but something in it gave me heartburn and nausea, so now I do the zinc carnosine and straight glutamine and it's been working well.”
4/5“L glutamine is good but it can be hit or miss for people with overgrowths, instead i'd focus on other tools for the gut lining like zinc l carnosine, quercetin, boswellia and a few others,”
What owners say about Bovine colostrum
4/5“I eat a very healthy high fiber diet (50g+) with a lot of prebiotics/probiotics/postbiotics both natural and in capsules, so I’m sure that’s helping a lot as well as the bovine and sheep colostrum I also take daily.”
1/5 Side effects“I tried sundiber, colostrum- made things worse.”
5/5 Bloating & gas“Organ meats, like pancreas, gallbladder, and also colostrum are so amazing for gut health.”
