What is the intestinal lining?
The intestinal system is made up primarily of the small
and large intestines. The intestinal system is where nutrients are
absorbed to feed the organs, tissues and virtually every cell of the body.
A properly functioning intestinal system is vital to overall health and
well-being. The intestinal wall secretes mucus which forms a “membrane” or
“lining” that coats the surface of the intestinal tract. This lining is
essential to proper digestion, immune functions and overall health.
Why is the intestinal lining so important?
This lining serves many functions. Three of the most
critical are:
1) Lubricating intestinal contents.
2) Helping with nutrient absorption by allowing
properly digested foods to pass into the bloodstream.
3) Serving as a protective barrier to prevent the
absorption of unwanted toxins, parasites and undigested foods.
Where does this lining come from?
Every 3-5 days the intestinal system sheds and renews
the cells that line the intestinal tract. The amino acid, L-Glutamine, is
the primary fuel for this process. L-Glutamjne is the most abundant amino
acid in the human body. When functioning properly, the body converts
L-Glutamine into N-Acetyl Glucosamine, an amino sugar that is found in all
tissues of the body. Much of the intestinal lining is composed of N-Acetyl
Glucosamine, which serves to hold the cells of the intestinal lining
together.
What can we do to achieve optimal intestinal lining
health?
Much of the literature today suggests that
supplementation with L-Glutamine and N-Acetyl-Glucosamine may be
beneficial in the maintenance of proper intestinal permeability. It
is suggested that as we age, we need more of these amino compounds to
properly maintain this mucosal lining. Gamma-Oryzanol is a natural extract
of rice bran oil. It is believed that Gamma Oryzanol helps maintain
gastrointestinal health because of the strong antioxidant properties it
exhibits.
“A
healthy intestinal lining helps determine the overall health of an
individual. A healthy digestive lining plays a critical role in the
absorption of beneficial nutrients and the blockage of unwanted compounds
into the bloodstream.”
