Clinical Research

Development

Digestive disturbances are affecting more individuals than ever, largely due to stress and dietary habits (eg: nutritionally lacking, as well as eating quickly, on the run). These factors combine to create a host of issues such as gas and bloating, acid reflux/heartburn, stomach griping, flatulence, diarrhea, cramps, and constipation. And, poor digestion leads to lack of energy, poor sleep, and overall malaise. Upper digestive ailments are also often caused by a bacterial infection, chiefly, Helicobacter pylori.

Over-the-counter remedies may work to reduce symptom severity, and prescriptions meant to take daily, regulate over-enthusiastic proton pumps in the stomach that eject the acid.

For Daily
Digestive Health

GutGard® is a clinically researched, flavonoid-rich, natural bioactive for daily digestive health derived from Glycyrrhiza glabra. GutGard® is standardized to >3.5% glabridin and >10% total flavonoids with glycyrrhizin level to be made <0.5%

GutGard® is the only of its class to offer the advantage of the cache of flavonoids found in licorice. More than 50 flavonoids including isoflavans (glabridin), Isoflavones (example: licoflavone A), Isoflavanones (example: glabrol), chalcones (example: isoliquiritigenin), etc, have been identified in GutGard® by using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Batch to batch consistency of the flavonoid profile is monitored with the help of high-performance liquid chromatography.

Traditional uses

Licorice has a long, rich use in cultures worldwide; it was even found in the tomb of King Tutankhamun. The dried root of licorice has been used by not only the Egyptians but throughout the populations and cultures of Asia and the Mediterranean regions. The Romans relied on it for numerous ailments. Licorice is recorded in the pharmacopoeias of nations throughout the world.

In the first century AD, the Greek physician Dioscorides used licorice to treat people with stomach and intestinal ulcers (it is known now that many ulcers are caused by Helicobacter pylori).

Dear Colleagues & Friends,

It is widely accepted that herbs and botanicals offer immense health benefits. Traditional systems and practices across the globe have played a key role in offering natural solutions for various health conditions. On the other hand, modern medicines - that are based on chemical drugs also have added significant value to healthcare. Herbs, unlike the chemical drugs, have a complex and largely unknown chemical composition that pose scientific challenges to conduct clinical studies, evaluate safety, decipher the mechanisms of actions and to define and control quality of commercial preparations. In addition, multiple other issues pertaining to herbs need scientific understanding and solutions. These include identification of plants, natural variations of chemical composition of medicinal plants, contaminants, adulterations, analytical challenges, impact of climate change, sustainability, etc. Consumption of herbal products is increasing globally with growing demand for botanical supplements and complementary medicine. At the same time, the scientific work on all the above-mentioned issues has also gained rapid pace during the last two decades. Purpose of this webinar series is to kindle thoughts and discuss the current updates and scientific knowledge available on above mentioned issues with experts.
