Life Extension

Gastro-Ease™ 60 capsules Life Extension

$33.00

Stomach digestion supplement to promote health and comfort

Gastro-Ease™ is a stomach digestion supplement that contains zinc L-carnosine plus Pylopass™, a unique ingredient made from a stabilized Lactobacillus reuteri to support your delicate stomach lining.

What Is Gastro Ease?

Your stomach contains hydrochloric acid to help you break down the foods you eat. This acid would damage the delicate lining of your stomach wall if not for a protective coating of mucus. Gastro-Ease™ contains a unique form of zinc as well as Pylopass™, a unique, heat-treated, stabilized form of Lactobacillus reuteri that supports this protective stomach layer.

Studies show that zinc L-carnosine significantly reduces factors associated with gastric discomfort—in just 8 weeks.

Gastro-Ease™ Benefits

Promotes stomach health and comfort
Supports a healthy stomach wall at the cellular level
Protects and maintains the stomach’s mucosal lining
Helps maintain a healthy stomach environment

Carnosine + Zinc = Zinc L-Carnosine

The trace element zinc promotes stomach health. And when combined with the amino acid-derived carnosine (as zinc L-carnosine), the effects are even more pronounced. This comprehensive approach is just one of the reasons to trust the science-backed nutritional supplement from Life Extension®.

Zinc, a trace element essential for many functions in your body, also promotes stomach health in a variety of ways. And when combined with the amino acid-derived carnosine (as zinc L-carnosine), the effects are even more pronounced. This is because zinc L-carnosine offers a comprehensive approach to protect your stomach lining and promote gastric health.

A unique form of zinc promotes gastric health

Zinc L-carnosine gets delivered directly to the stomach wall, where it sticks much more tightly than either zinc or carnosine alone, so the beneficial effects of both components specifically target the site where protection is most needed. In pre-clinical studies, it also promotes a healthy inflammatory response, supports a healthy stomach wall and environment, and encourages the production of protective mucus. Zinc L-carnosine supplementation also promotes digestive comfort.

Several clinical studies showed that 150 mg daily of zinc L-carnosine significantly reduced factors associated with gastric discomfort in just eight weeks.

Pylopass™ promotes healthy stomach flora balance

Pylopass™ is made from heat-treated L. reuteri bacteria. Even though these bacteria are inert, they still have many health-promoting effects. Pylopass™ promotes healthy stomach flora by selectively binding with a specific strain that can affect the protective mucus layer and the health of your stomach.

Support a healthy and protective stomach lining and promote a balanced stomach environment with Gastro-Ease™!

What Are Zinc Caps?

Research shows that zinc deficiency is widespread, especially in the elderly. Supplementing with zinc is an effective way to support aging immune systems. Since absorption can sometimes be problematic, we’ve developed a low-cost formulation that combines the highly bioavailable OptiZinc® with zinc citrate to provide a potent 50 milligram dose of zinc in each capsule.

OptiZinc® contains one of the most absorbable forms of zinc, zinc methionate, which is prized for its superior bioavailability.

Zinc Caps Benefits

Provides immune system support
Supports cardiovascular & neurological health
Helps maintain vision

Beyond Immune Health Support

Zinc is well known for its immune health benefits, but it goes beyond that. For instance, zinc is an essential component of superoxide dismutase, one of your body’s most powerful natural antioxidants. It also supports cardiovascular and neurological health, and helps maintain vision in the elderly.

Zinc supports your body’s natural immune response. But zinc deficiency is common, especially in older people.¹ This can contribute to aging-related decline in immune function.^1,2 But zinc supplementation supports aging immune systems, as well as healthy inflammatory and antioxidant responses.^2-5

Other benefits of zinc

Zinc plays other crucial roles in your body as well. It is an essential component of superoxide dismutase, one of your body’s most powerful natural antioxidants. Zinc is required for the activity of over 300 enzymes that carry out essential biochemical reactions in your body.^6,7

Zinc-containing proteins are vital for hormone production and regulate protein and DNA synthesis, as well as thyroid and bone metabolism.^6,8 Zinc helps maintain cardiovascular, thyroid, neurological and vision health, especially for older people.^7,9,10

Powerful dose, low cost

Zinc absorption can be limited, and certain compounds in plant sources and grains can further inhibit absorption.¹¹ That’s why we’ve combined highly bioavailable OptiZinc® with zinc citrate to provide a potent 50 milligram dose of zinc.

OptiZinc® is a superior bioavailable form of zinc.^12,13 Preclinical studies indicate that it results in higher blood levels compared to other forms of zinc.
