NOW Foods Gastro Comfort with PepZin GI is a specialized digestive formula featuring PepZin GI — a patented zinc-carnosine complex that has been clinically studied in Japan for over 30 years for supporting the integrity of the gastric mucosa (stomach lining). PepZin GI works by adhering to the mucosal surface of the stomach, providing a protective barrier effect and supporting the natural regeneration of the stomach lining. It has been studied specifically for H. pylori management support, gastric ulcer healing, and reducing gastric discomfort. NOW Foods combines PepZin GI with additional stomach-soothing botanicals including slippery elm, deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL), and ginger in a comprehensive gastric support formula. Ideal for those with chronic gastric issues, GERD, gastritis, or those seeking to support stomach health during or after NSAID use.
