Ultra G.I.™ supplied by Douglas Laboratories is a formula containing beneficial amounts of dietary constituents
such as L-glutamine and N-Acetyl Glucosamine specifically designed for the strength, permeability, and
support of intestinal tract.†
FUNCTIONS
The amino acid glutamine plays a key role in the metabolism, structure, and function of the entire
gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and its extensive immune system. Glutamine is perhaps the major energy source for
intestinal cells, and under conditions of physiological stress the GI tract benefits greatly from extra dietary
glutamine. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found in blood, and is a vehicle for nitrogen transport.
Glutamine-consuming tissues, such as the GI tract, the liver, and the immune system, use glutamine for the
synthesis of nucleotides, proteins, and amino sugars.
Intestinal mucosal cells produce large amounts of mucous that are constantly secreted into the intestinal
lumen. This mucous protects the mucosal cells, and helps propel digested food throughout the GI tract. Just
like glucosamine, N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (NAG) is a naturally occurring amino sugar. NAG is found in
glycosaminoglycans which are major structural components in intestinal mucous secretions as well as
connective tissues. Supplementation with these amino sugars can help maintain normal glycosaminoglycan
synthesis and intestinal mucous production.
FOS (fructooligosaccharides) can selectively feed the beneficial symbiotic bacteria, such as Lactobacillus
acidophilus, Bifidobacteria, and other acid-producing bacteria. Regular consumption of FOS has been shown
to support healthy levels of these beneficial bacteria in the colon.
The other nutritional ingredients of Ultra G.I., including Vitamin E and gamma oryzanol, can also play a role in
maintaining a healthy digestive system.
INDICATIONS
Ultra GI may be a useful dietary supplement for those who wish to provide dietary support for a healthy GI
tract.
