    Clinical Applications

    • Supports GI Barrier Health
    • Boosts Liver Function and Detoxification Pathways
    • Helps Maintain Normal Inflammatory Balance and Mucin Production in the GI Tract

    The mucosal epithelium serves multiple purposes, including allowing nutrients from the diet to be absorbed and digested while simultaneously serving as a barrier that protects against unwanted food particles, toxins and microorganisms from passing directly into the body. Gut Guard includes a synergistic blend of ingredients that support the health of the GI lining while maintaining normal inflammatory balance and liver detoxification pathways to support overall health.

    Under healthy conditions, the GI tract contains a semipermeable epithelial mucosal barrier that protects against the unwanted passage of food antigens, toxins, and microorganisms from crossing directly into the bloodstream. Several factors can affect the integrity of the epithelial barrier, including medications (particularly NSAIDs), stress, alcohol intake, injury, trauma, microbial imbalance and poor nutrition. Reducing the impact of these factors and preserving a healthy GI tract is critical for maintaining long-term health.

    L-Glutamine

    L-glutamine is an amino acid that serves as a primary source of fuel for the small intestines. Epithelial cells in the small intestines (enterocytes) use L-glutamine as their metabolic fuel, which helps maintain mucosal growth, structure, and function. Under times of stress, L-glutamine has been shown to become a conditionally essential amino acid, helping to regenerate and maintain a healthy mucosal barrier. 

    Gamma Oryzanol

    Gamma oryzanol is a natural component of rice bran oil. Rice bran oil includes about 1-2% gamma oryzanol, which functions as a highly effective antioxidant in the GI tract. Gamma oryzanol has been shown to protect gastric mucosa from free radical stress and maintain normal inflammatory balance by inhibiting NFkB in macrophages.

    N-Acetylglucosamine

    N-acetylglucosamine is the acetylated form of glucosamine. N-acetylglucosamine is a mucin precursor and has been shown to increase the production of mucus within the GI tract.

    Lactoferrin

    Lactoferrin is a glycoprotein that is naturally found in colostrum, a milky fluid produced by the mammary glands. Lactoferrin plays a major role in supporting immune health, including both innate and adaptive immune functions.

    Silymarin (Milk Thistle Seed Extract)

    Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is an annual plant indigenous to Europe and the United States and has been used for centuries as an herbal medicine to boost liver function. Silymarin provides liver protective effects via several mechanisms of action, including inhibiting lipid peroxidation; supporting liver detoxification through enhancement of the liver’s glucuronidation pathways; and protection against glutathione depletion.

    N-Acetyl Cysteine

    N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a sulfhydryl-containing amino acid that is commonly used to support liver and gut health. NAC is an effective precursor to the major antioxidant in the body, glutathione.

    Micronutrient Blend

    GutGuard includes the synergistic nutrient combination of zinc, vitamin A, and biotin, which are crucial for supporting GI health. Zinc is an essential mineral that is widely recognized for its role in gut and immune health. Zinc has been shown to strengthen GI barrier function by supporting the structure of tight junctions.

    Vitamin A is crucial for supporting GI integrity, maintaining normal inflammatory balance by reducing NFkB, and supporting mucus production. Biotin deficiency is often present in individuals with GI challenges.

    Dr Verma is hands down the best integrated practitioner. Have been a client for almost ten years. She kind and compassionate…yet stands strong in her convictions of treatment. My entire family uses her too. I trust her. So grateful to have Dr Verma in my life.

    R Drinkwater

    Dr. Verma is well versed in her field. She is one of the top doctors that I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for modern medicine and also holistic healing. She is very kind, she listens, and is understanding. She should be an exemplary of other doctor’s bed manners. She is very catering and very dedicated to her patients. I will never leave Dr. Verma. She is one of the best doctors in the Tampa Bay area and I would definitely recommend for any woman who is apprehensive to work with another female doctor, STOP; this is YOUR doctor. Any man who is skeptical about seeing a female doctor, STOP; met your match, she is just an overall proficient doctor for you or anyone. My family and adult children also work with her. She’s innovative and knowledgeable on all aspects. You’re missing out if you don’t go to Dr. Verma!

    Bipasha Patel

    It's refreshing to know that there are doctors like Dr. Verma that work tirelessly to find the root cause of a patient’s illness rather than just treating the symptoms indefinitely. Her knowledge as a double board certified physician in both family medicine and integrative medicine shows through in her advice and treatment to help patients find balance in mind, body, and spirit. I would recommend her practice to anyone who is tired of being on the medical and insurance hamsterwheel. Thank you Dr. Verma and staff for giving me some hope on my health revitalization journey.

    James Sellers

    I have been under Dr. Verma’s care for a couple of years now and I have never been to a doctor that gives as much personal attention as she does. She is incredibly accommodating and genuinely cares about the role she plays in your health journey. Definitely a 5-star experience as this practice.

    Dr Verma has helped me change my life! I am a better version of myself than I was when I started seeing her 18 months ago. I am on my way to optimal health with the help and guidance of Dr Verma! Highly recommend!

    Alana O'Hanlan

    Dr. Verma and her staff are always pleasant to work with. I’ve been a patient for several years through different stages of my life. Dr. Verma’s expertise and knowledge at getting to the root cause of what has been ailing me is always spot on. It may not always be what I want to hear but it is what is best for my health, both mentally and physically.
