Ingredients explained
Zinc (from PepZin GI)
Zinc is a cofactor for enzymes involved in tissue maintenance and may support stomach lining integrity and mucosal defenses.
Caution: High zinc intake can compete with copper absorption, so avoid combining with high-dose zinc from other supplements for long periods.
Zinc-L-Carnosine (PepZin GI)
Zinc bound to L-carnosine adheres to the gastric mucosa and slowly releases zinc and carnosine, which may support mucosal protection and repair processes.
Caution: May cause mild nausea in some people; taking with food can improve tolerance.
Mastic Gum (Pistacia lentiscus) sap powder
Mastic gum provides resin compounds that may support a comfortable stomach environment and normal digestive function.
Caution: Resins may cause digestive upset in sensitive individuals; start with the suggested serving to gauge tolerance.
Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra) bark
Slippery elm bark forms a soothing mucilage that may coat the gastrointestinal lining and support comfort.
Caution: Take away from medications by at least 1–2 hours because mucilage can reduce absorption.
Calcium (from calcium carbonate)
Calcium carbonate can help neutralize stomach acidity short term and contributes to overall mineral balance.
Caution: May cause constipation in some people, especially at higher intakes.
How they work together
Zinc-L-carnosine supplies zinc and carnosine directly to the stomach lining, while zinc also supports normal tissue maintenance. Mastic gum offers resin compounds that support a comfortable gastric environment, and slippery elm adds a soothing mucilage layer. Together they address both mucosal nourishment and surface comfort.
