Gut and Liver Detox Support
Ingredients in Gut Care for Kids have been clinically shown to or traditionally used to:
- Soothe the gut: Glutamine may supply a source of nutrients to the cells of the intestines, protecting the gut mucosa from damage and promoting repair. Gut Care for Kids also contains marshmallow, slippery elm and liquorice that are traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to soothe the gastrointestinal tract. Liquorice has been shown to soothe the gastrointestinal tract by inhibiting prostaglandin and lipoxygenase synthesis.
- Support healthy gastrointestinal and liver detoxification in children: Turmeric, St Mary's thistle, glycine and cysteine help to support liver detoxification. Gut Care for Kids may also enhance phase II detoxification via increases in glutathione by selenium and cysteine
- Once per day dosing for children under five years of age to assist compliance.
Children 2 to 5 years: Mix 1 level scoop (5 g) into 50 mL of water once daily.
Children 6 to 12 years: Mix 2 level scoops (10 g) into 100 mL of water once daily.
