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:
- Lubricating intestinal contents.
- Helping with nutrient absorption by allowing properly digested foods
to pass into the bloodstream.
- 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-Glutamine 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.
