Nutrition for the digestive tract
Nutritional supplements are intended to supplement a healthy and balanced diet.

Food that supports the gastrointestinal tract:
- Fiber-rich foods: whole grains, vegetables, fruit, legumes, nuts and seeds.
- Fermented foods: yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut and kimchi.
- Healthy fats: omega 3 fatty acids from oily fish, nuts and seeds.
- Proteins: chicken, fish, legumes, Greek yogurt, eggs, nuts and seeds.

Foods to avoid to maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract:
Processed foods: fast food, sugary drinks, ready-made meals, refined carbohydrates and sugars, fried products and processed meats.

Intestina is a balanced formula with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, probiotics, herbs and fatty acids. Thanks to this diverse composition, the complex can be used in different ways.

Unique: L-glutamine, N-acetyl-glucosamine and L-methionine
Intestina contains a powerful combination of L-glutamine, N-acetyl-glucosamine and L-methionine, a unique trio rarely found on the market. However, in the body these substances work together, a so-called synergy.

Glutamine: an important building block
L-glutamine is the most abundant non-essential amino acid in the human body. We can produce this amino acid ourselves, but this process does not work optimally in all circumstances. Glutamine is a building block for other amino acids and compounds including glutathione.

Glucosamine: a naturally occurring amino sugar
Glucosamine is an amino sugar that is important for the production of glycosaminoglycans such as hyaluronic acid. Because the substance is bound to an acetyl group, the intestine can absorb the molecule in its entirety.

Methionine: a sulfur-containing amino acid
The essential amino acid L-methionine is an important source of sulfur in the body. The substance is important for the formation of other sulfur-containing compounds, such as cysteine, taurine and S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe).

Bacillus coagulans: 15 billion living bacteria
Intestina contains no less than 15 billion colony-forming units per gram (cfu/g) of Bacillus coagulans. The cfu/g is a measure of the amount of viable micro-organisms per gram of product. Intestina is therefore a powerful source of this specific probiotic strain, which is not naturally present in our body.

Proper digestion of our food is essential before it reaches the intestines. The better the food is broken down, the less the intestines are burdened. After digestion, the body converts the broken down nutrients into energy. This is also called metabolism.

Vitamin A, for the mucous membranes in the intestines
Vitamin A, B2, B3 and biotin are good for the mucous membranes
Vitamin A, B6, B11, B12, C, selenium and zinc have a positive influence on the immune system
Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, biotin, calcium, iodine, magnesium and manganese help release energy from fat, carbohydrates and proteins
Vitamin B2, C, E, manganese, selenium and zinc help protect healthy body cells
Vitamin B6 plays a role in the construction and breakdown of proteins and carbohydrates
Biotin, chromium and zinc support the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, fat and proteins
Folic acid contributes to normal amino acid synthesis
Calcium supports the maintenance of healthy digestion and contributes to the normal functioning of digestive enzymes
Manganese helps in the normal formation of connective tissue
Molybdenum contributes to normal sulfur amino acid metabolism
Zinc plays a role in the construction and breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, proteins and nucleic acids
Zinc plays a role in a normal acid-base balance
