GI Motility

GI Motility is a prokinetic complex that stimulates the cleaning wave or migrating motor complex (MMC), the “housekeeper” of the small intestine, sweeping away debris and bacteria.

Poor functioning of the migrating motor complex is associated with constipation, bacterial dysbiosis such as SIBO

Acetyl-L-Carnitine supports autonomic neuronal health and contributes acetyl groups for the synthesis of acetylcholine, supporting neurotransmission of signals to encourage healthy motility. It supports cell membrane health, mitochondrial activity, enhances energy production and has neuroprotective properties. Vagus nerve issues can impact digestion. This nerve is an acetylcholine based nerve and has a critical role in gut/brain axis. Acetyl-L-Carnitine to help heal nerve damage in the small intestine.

Ginger contains several compounds among which is a mixture of zingerone, shogaols, gingerols and volatile oils. There are many other constituents but one in particular, galanolactone appears to be a potent 5-HT3 antagonist that might explain its anti-emetic properties and ability to accelerate gastric emptying. It modulates serotonin signaling by stimulation and binding receptors in the enteric nervous system and brain stem, supporting gastric emptying, intestinal transit, healthy visceral sensation and upper GI comfort.

Chamomile - known as “Mother of the Gut” as one of its key actions is to relax the smooth muscle of the intestine and provide relief from colic, stomach cramps and bloating. It also has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties indicated for colds, flus, infections, Candida and SIBO.

Cinnamon is a very important herb when it comes to improving digestive health and in many GI conditions like SIBO, upper gut overgrowth, diabetes, ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Cinnamon reduces inflammation, helps to regulate the immune system and reduce bacterial overgrowth. Cinnamon in studies seems to have many very potent antimicrobial properties.

Triphala is an Ayurvedic herbal combo that increases gastric emptying, gut peristalsis and increases gut muscle tone. Triphala combines three extracts: emblica officinalis, terminalia chebula and terminalia belerica. It is a mild laxative‚ can encourage regularity and healthy bowel movements as well as reducing gas and flatulence.

P5P is the cofactor in the conversion of 5-hydroxytryptophan to serotonin
