NOW Ulcetrol is a dietary supplement designed to protect and support a healthy
stomach lining. Ulcetrol contains the patented ingredient, PepZin GI, which has
been shown to provide a defense against damaging assault on the stomach's mucosal
cells. PepZin GI also has the ability to "seek out" and encourage the
repair of injured thinning tissue, NOW Ulcetrol has the additional benefit of
Mastic Gum, a natural resin from Pistacia lentiscus, a small evergreen tree native
to Greece, Mastic Gum similarly supports stomach health, having demonstrated it's
effectiveness at providing relief of digestive discomfort.
Stomach Lining Protection, Done Naturally
Here's a frightening thought. A growing percentage of our population is living
with frequent or even daily stomach discomfort. Unfortunately, many of these
same people become accustomed to these uncomfortable conditions. As a result,
their willingness to accept their situation and do absolutely nothing becomes
the norm. If not confronted during the early stages, however, the results can
be disastrous. Millions of Americans live with agonizing stomach discomfort.
It's just that simple. But what most of us fail to realize, is that overuse
of popular NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as Aspirin, Acetaminophen,
Ibuprofen and Naproxen Sodium often creates more problems than it resolves.
Over time, these popular, inexpensive and easily obtained NSAIDS can take a
toll on the lining of the human stomach. This results in a gradual erosion that
may permit acid and bacteria to penetrate into the most delicate layers of the
stomach.
Many believe that stress is a major culprit. And while it's true that stress
can aggravate previously ignored stomach lining challenges, it is not the only
factor responsible for the compromised integrity of this delicate tissue. Rather,
excessive and long-term consumption of NSAIDS in addition to an unhealthy buildup
of gastrointestinal bacteria can be far more threatening. Under episodes of
stress, normal immune function becomes less responsive, thus preventing the
body from warding off bacteria. One such bacteria of primary concern is Helicobacter
pylori. By weakening the protective mucous lining of the stomach, h. Pylori
allows acid to penetrate the stomach's mucous membrane and erode the sensitive
inner lining. Researchers are still trying to determine how this bacterial infection
is contracted, but do know that nearly 20% of people under 40, and almost half
of those over 60 carry it. Temporary relief often comes in the form of antacids
and antibiotics, but these can disrupt normal digestion and harm essential stomach
acids that serve as immune barriers in the support of beneficial bacteria.
New Ulcetrol from NOW includes PepZin GI from Lonza, a patented form of zinc-carnosine
that has shown great promise in enhancing normal digestive function. To increase
its activity, we've included a powerful base of synergistic compounds to help
provide superior stomach lining protection.
