PepZin GI
by Georges M. Halpern, Ph.D.

PepZin GI® is a unique new dietary supplement product targeting optimum stomach health. PepZin GI is unique for two reasons: first it’s a patented complex of zinc and L-carnosine actually combined together that is chemically and biologically different than a simple mixture of zinc and L-carnosine. Second, PepZin GI has numerous human studies demonstrating its health benefits for stomach support and as a source of zinc.*

The natural defense mechanism of the stomach is a protective mucosal lining. This lining protects against strong acid, bacteria and stomach irritation. Under normal conditions most people have a good defense mechanism and can keep their stomach health in balance. When the natural mechanism fails or is overpowered by stress or lifestyle indiscretions (smoking, poor diet, excessive aspirin, or alcohol intake) we feel the problem is stomach upset and heartburn. By supporting the stomach lining, PepZin GI helps restore the balance in just a few short weeks.

There has been a major increase in the acceptance of natural products for digestive health. As an example, probiotics, fiber and colostrums are now used regularly by consumers for lower GI health. The success and acceptance of these products has created wonderful opportunities for other natural products. The problem is that most products for stomach health only neutralize or block stomach acid. Rather than suppressing stomach acid, PepZin GI works with the natural defense mechanism of the stomach to support the mucosal lining.

Chances are you or someone you know has heartburn or digestive problems. How we feel is critical to our everyday attitude and emotional state. Even minor health problems can be stressful. Because stomach and gastrointestinal problems can interfere with what we eat and our social lives, it’s fair to say digestive health plays a major role in our overall health and happiness. Try PepZin GI twice a day with or without food for four to eight weeks and then as needed for optimum stomach health. PepZin GI is new to the United States and only offered by a limited number of companies.

As an excellent source of zinc, PepZin GI has been shown to be safe and beneficial for stomach health. Adults should take 37.5 mg twice a day for four to eight weeks. PepZin GI has not been studied and is not recommended for children or pregnant and nursing mothers. Check with your health care provider when starting PepZin GI or any new supplement program.
