G.I. Fortify provides important support for constipation. Psyllium, or Plantago ovata, is an important source of soluble fiber. Soluble fiber absorbs water to form a gel, increasing stool bulk when taken with an appropriate amount of water; it thus promotes the formation of larger and softer stools for healthy defecation. As it moves through the intestine, feces incorporates and eliminates other wastes and toxins present on the intestinal walls. In the colon, soluble fiber is slowly fermented by the intestinal microflora, which also contributes to increasing fecal mass. The fermentation process produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which have a protective effect for the healthy functioning of colon cells, as they represent a very important source of energy for the colon and can regulate transit through the colon. In addition, SCFAs preserve the acidity of the intestinal environment, creating optimal conditions for healthy intestinal microflora. Flax is an additional source of soluble fiber that also contains fatty acids and lignans. G.I. Fortify also contains the amino acid L-glutamine as well as a combination of deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL), aloe, slippery elm and marshmallow root. In addition, it includes, in equal proportion, three fruit extracts (Terminalia chebula, Terminalia bellirica and Emblica officinalis) which have been traditionally used for a long time in the Ayurvedic remedy Triphala which, literally translated, means "three fruits".
