Gastriplex - 

Gastriplex has been used for more than 10 years to restore the digestive health of dogs and cats.
Its all natural ingredients include:  

• Probiotics to restore healthy bacteria
• Soothing herbs to reduce inflammation of intestinal lining
• Nutrients to strengthen the intestinal cells

Beneficial for pets with vomiting, chronic diarrhea, colitis, food allergies and IBD.

Don't just treat your pet's symptoms, treat the underlying causes of many GI disorders.

Each capsule contains:

Lactobacillus Sporogenes...25 mg.
Lactobacillus sporogenes is a safe, effective probiotic that survives in stomach acid and produces L(+) lactic acid in the intestine. Probiotics are successfully used to help maintain a healthy GI tract.

Folic Acid...50 mcg.
Folic acid is required for DNA synthesis for new cells. Folic acid is commonly deficient in many animals with chronic intestinal disorders.

L-Glutamine...100 mg.
Glutamine plays a key role in maintaining mucosal cell integrity and gut barrier function. Glutamine also enhances the gut's immune function, in part by increasing the production of secretory immunoglobulin a (sIgA), an antibody that promotes immunity.

Saccharomyces boulardii...25 mg.
Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic yeast that decreases intestinal permeability. Like glutamine, this beneficial yeast exerts its protective effect on the GI tract by increasing the production of sIgA.

Slippery Elm...100 mg
Slippery elm, a demulcent and emollient, provides soothing protection for the mucus membranes of the intestinal tract.

Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice (DGL)...25 mg.
Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) supports a healthy intestinal lining by helping to increase blood flow and maintain normal muscle relaxation.

N-Acetyl D-Glucosamine...125 mg.
N-acetyl D-glucosamine (NAG) also helps maintain normal intestinal permeability. It enhances mucus production and is involved in the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans, the building blocks of connective tissue.

Quercetin Chalcone...25 mg.
Quercetin, an abundant dietary flavonoid, has significant positive action in the intestinal tract. Gastriplex contains Thorne Research's patented quercetin chalcone, which, because it's water-soluble, makes it a highly bioavailable form of quercetin.

Calcium Pantothenate (Vitamin B5)...12.5 mg.
Pantothenic acid is converted to Coenzyme A in the colon. Coenzyme A is required for normal carbohydrate and fat metabolism. It is considered especially beneficial with food intolerance.

Other Ingredients: Natural bacon flavoring.

Water soluble Quercetin protected under U.S. Patent No. 5,977,184 for Quercetin Chalcone.

Contains ingredients derived from soy and from shellfish (crab and/or shrimp).

Each bottle contains 180 capsules.

Dosage for cats: 1 capsule daily.
Dosage for dogs:
Up to 40 lbs - 3 capsules daily
40-80 lbs - 5 capsules daily
more than 80 lbs - 6 capsules daily

Gastriplex is best given on an empty stomach, throughout the day if schedule permits. If gastric upset occurs, offer the Gastriplex with food. Capsules may be swallowed whole or they may be opened and mixed in with food.

How long will it take to see stools become formed instead of runny after starting Gastriplex?
Chronic conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease will take some time to respond to Gastriplex. Because many gastrointestinal conditions are multi-component, changes in diet are also crucial in helping decrease GI responses. It may take up to a month to see a response with chronic issues.

For use in dogs, cats, and horses only.

Consult with your veterinarian before using this product in animals: with clotting disorders; being treated with anticoagulant medications; diabetes, or any metabolic disorder causing hyperglycemia; history of urinary tract stones; known allergies to shellfish. If lameness worsens, discontinue use and contact your veterinarian. Administer during or after the animal has eaten to reduce incidence of gastrointestinal upset. Not to be used with blood thinners. Use cautiously in immuno-suppressed individuals, especially young animals.

For animal use only. Keep out of the reach of children and other animals. In case of accidental overdose, contact a health professional immediately.

Fasting, detoxification and diet are some of the first steps to take for many digestive disorders. For more information about treating specific conditions, see these webpages: Constipation, Diarrhea, and Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
