Gastriplex by Thorne Research

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 bottles contains 180 capsules

Each capsule contains:

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. N-Acetyl glucosamine is derived from the outer shells of shellfish. Pets (and people) with shellfish allergies are allergic to the meat of shellfish, not the shell and so N-Acetyl Glucosamine does not usually cause an allergic reaction.

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.

Slippery Elm...100 mg
An herb that contains mucilage which provides soothing protection for the mucus membranes of the gastrointestinal tract. Slippery elm neutralizes stomach acids and soothes inflammation.

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

Lactobacillus Sporogenes (Bacillus Coagulans)...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.

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.

Saccharomyces boulardii...25 mg.
Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic yeast that decreases intestinal permeability.  In numerous clinical studies, Saccharomyces boulardii was found to significantly reduce the symptoms and frequency of acute diarrhea and diarrhea related to colitis, inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome as well as antiobiotic-associated diarrhea.  

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.

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.

Inactive Ingredients: Hypromellose (derived from cellulose) capsule, Leucine, Natural Bacon Flavoring, Silicon Dioxide
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:  1 capsule for 15 lbs. body weight

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.
