Zinc carnosine, slippery elm, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, aloe, gastric mucin and eight more botanicals in a glutamine-free five-capsule serving that supports the lining of the digestive tract.

What it is Gut Balance Capsules is a glutamine-free blend of nutrients and botanicals for the lining of the digestive tract. Five capsules supply zinc as zinc L-carnosine (16 mg of zinc), slippery elm bark, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, a 200:1 aloe vera leaf-gel extract, porcine gastric mucin, green kiwifruit standardized for its actinidin enzyme (Actazin®), marshmallow root, a licorice root extract standardized to 3.5% glabridin (GutGard®), quercetin, prune, chamomile flower extract, cat's claw bark and okra pod. The capsules are vegetarian, but the formula contains pork-derived mucin. It is the capsule counterpart of Gut Restore powder for someone who wants the same idea without glutamine.

Who it's for The label describes a custom blend of botanicals traditionally used to soothe the gastrointestinal tract, targeted to support membrane integrity and overall digestive health. Zinc carnosine, mucin, slippery elm, marshmallow and aloe are the ingredients practitioners reach for when the goal is a comfortable, well-lined gut. It suits an adult on a practitioner-guided gut program who prefers capsules to a powder and who does not want glutamine. The label states that the product is not intended for use by children.
