Ingredients explained
Zinc (from PepZin GI)
Zinc is a cofactor for enzymes involved in tissue integrity and antioxidant defence, which may support the maintenance of the gastric mucosal barrier.
Caution: High intakes of zinc can cause nausea in some people; take as directed and avoid combining with high-dose zinc from other supplements.
L-Carnosine (from PepZin GI zinc L-carnosine complex)
L-Carnosine acts as a dipeptide antioxidant and metal chelator that may help stabilise gastric lining cells and buffer local oxidative stress.
Caution: Contains an amino acid derivative that may interact with other supplements providing carnosine or beta-alanine; avoid excessive combined intake.
Mastic gum powder (Pistacia lentiscus, sap)
Mastic gum contains terpenes and resin acids that may help calm the stomach environment and support a comfortable digestive feel.
Caution: Resinous botanicals may occasionally cause mild gastrointestinal upset; discontinue if sensitivity occurs.
Slippery elm (Ulmus rubra, bark)
Slippery elm provides mucilage that swells with water to form a soothing gel layer over mucous membranes, which may protect the stomach lining.
Caution: Take with adequate water because mucilage expands; separate from medicines by at least 2 hours to avoid affecting absorption.
Calcium (from calcium carbonate)
Calcium carbonate provides calcium ions that can temporarily neutralise stomach acid and contribute to normal digestive comfort.
Caution: Calcium carbonate may cause gas or constipation in some people, especially at higher doses.
How they work together
Zinc and L-carnosine from PepZin GI work together to maintain mucosal integrity and buffer oxidative stress at the stomach surface. Mastic gum offers resin compounds that complement this by calming the gastric environment, while slippery elm’s mucilage coats tissues for a physical soothing effect. A modest amount of calcium carbonate adds gentle acid-neutralising support.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Consult a doctor if you are pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
Who should be cautious: People with known sensitivity to mastic tree resin or to slippery elm should be cautious. Those taking calcium or zinc alongside thyroid medicines or certain antibiotics may need to separate dosing to avoid reduced absorption; discuss timing with a healthcare provider.
Storage: Keep the freshness packet in the bottle and do not consume it.
