Peptisol Digestive Health Support - 90 Vegetable Capsules

Quality Of Life Labs - Peptisol Digestive Health Support - 90 Vegetable Capsules

Peptisol relieves symptoms of occasional indigestion, alleviates occasional heartburn, strengthens the stomach lining, and promotes daily regularity. Nothing can ruin a good meal like occasional indigestion and heartburn. Fortunately, Peptisol can help. Peptisol works in four specific ways to solve your most common digestive complaints.

• Relieves the symptoms of occasional indigestion, including pain, bloating, fullness, and nausea: Human clinical trials have found that artichoke leaf extract and GutGard, (a proprietary extract of licorice root) both relieve the abdominal discomfort, bloating, and fullness that come with occasional indigestion, while ginger has been shown to gently soothe nausea.
• Alleviates occasional heartburn: In a double-blind, placebo-controlled human study, GutGard slashed symptoms of occasional heartburn by more than half.
• Promotes daily regularity: A recent human study found that artichoke extract promoted a normal bowel pattern in people with occasional constipation and occasional diarrhea.

Peptisol Ingredients

• Artichoke leaf extract
  Artichoke is a member of the thistle family. Its large, scaly, edible buds are a popular food, but it has also long been used to treat occasional digestive problems. It works by increasing bile flow (which helps emulsify fats) and stopping the bowel spasms that frequently accompany dyspepsia. Artichoke leaf extract has been clinically shown to promote a normal bowel pattern in people with occasional constipation and occasional diarrhea.
• Ginger
  The familiar herb ginger comes from the root of the flowering plant Zingiber officinale, originally native to Asia, but now cultivated worldwide as a food, spice, and medicine. Ginger is often used by people who suffer from nausea, such as those prone to motion sickness. The key to ginger's efficacy is the compounds gingerols and shogaols, which gently ease nausea by inhibiting the receptors that cause these sensations.
• GutGardDGL (licorice root extract)
  Licorice is a legume native to Southern Europe and parts of Asia. The familiar candy can be made from an extract of the root, but the herb has medicinal uses. Licorice relieves symptoms of occasional indigestion and heartburn by increasing the secretion of protective gastric mucus and increasing the pH of gastric fluid. Gutgard is a proprietary, clinically validated licorice extract.

Quality of Life Labs CardioChol Frequently Asked Questions

How does this product differ to other probiotic supplements on the market?
In general, most research for probiotics has tested the effects on diarrhea and constipation — not on indigestion. However, Peptisol has been studied to offer benefits for indigestion as well as in other areas.

Are the products vegetarian?
Whenever possible. Quality of Life formulates their products to be vegetarian and provides them in vegetarian capsules made from vegetable cellulose. However, many of the most-researched nutritional ingredients are derived from animal products, such as vitamin D3, chondroitin, collagen, and Neptune krill oil. Because of their commitment to clinically efficacious products, when they have to choose between a vegetarian form of an ingredient (such as vitamin D2) or an animal-derived, yet more efficacious form (such as vitamin D3), they choose to prioritize the more scientifically validated form.

Can Quality of Life products be safely taken together?
In general, yes. Because their products are formulated for specific conditions, there is very little ingredient overlap among them. In some cases, where an ingredient has multiple functions (such as vitamin D), it may be included in several products, but rarely at the upper intake level (the highest level of a nutrient that can be taken ongoing with no side effects). For example, the upper intake level for vitamin D is 4,000 IU and the vitamin D content of Quality of Life products ranges from 400 to 2,000 IU per day.

Are Quality of Life products safe to use while pregnant/breastfeeding?
As with any nutritional supplement, you should always consult with a health care practitioner when assessing the safety of any Quality of Life product while pregnant or breastfeeding.

When is the best time to take Quality of Life products?
Some products are best taken on an empty stomach, while others are better taken with food. The very best time to take your supplements is when you remember to take them! When it comes to results, consistency is more important than timing.
