Discussion

CIB offers a functional approach to achieving and maintaining balance in gastrointestinal flora, a primary component of GI health.[1] The complementary blend of ingredients is formulated to support antioxidant activity, microbial balance, and gastrointestinal function.*

Origanox™†WS The water-soluble form of Origanox (Origanox WS) is a natural plant extract from the edible herb Origanum vulgare (oregano). Essential oils and phytonutrients from oregano, including rosmarinic acid and quercetin, have been studied closely for their role in supporting antioxidant mechanisms and healthy microbial balance in the body.[2,3] The ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) value of Origanox is 5,800 units per gram.[4] The ORAC scale, developed by scientists at the National Institute of Aging, is a measure of the scavenging capacity of antioxidants against free radicals that cause oxidative stress.*

Sodium Caprylate, a derivative of caprylic acid, is a medium-chain fatty acid with a long research history. Research indicates that it has the potential to support healthy microbial balance in the intestines without adversely affecting beneficial GI flora. Studies also suggest that it may have direct effects on cellular integrity and growth, further supporting gastrointestinal health.*[5,6]

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) plays an important role in CIB, offering support for gastrointestinal, immune, and antioxidant systems.[7-9] Ginger has been used for centuries for support of normal gastric function and activity.*

Turmeric Extract Turmeric (Curcuma longa) has been used historically to support normal muscular contraction/relaxation and digestion. This ancient herb is rich in curcumin, which has been researched considerably for its protective effects,[10,11] as well as its ability to support healthy cytokine balance.[12,13] The addition of turmeric to CIB provides additional support for GI function and balance.*
