GI Sustain Medical Food
TM
Improved Formula for the Management of Leaky Gut Syndrome
GI Sustain (formerly UltraClear SUSTAIN® medical food) now contains the
prebiotic IMO (isomalto-oligosaccharides)—a gentle, naturally sweet fiber
that improves flavor but has a low glycemic index. IMO selectively nourishes
beneficial bacteria—such as lactobacillus and bifidobacteria—to promote
intestinal microbial balance. The blend of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and
inulin has been removed from this formula.

Leaky Gut Syndrome: a Risk Factor for Multiple Chronic Conditions
Leaky gut syndrome—or increased intestinal permeability—describes damage to the intestinal mucosal lining, causing leaks
in this protective barrier. Enlarged spaces between the cells of the gut wall allow undigested food and other potentially
harmful compounds (e.g., bacteria, toxins, waste) to enter the bloodstream. This can trigger digestive and other symptoms,
such as bloating, gas, bowel irregularities, increased food sensitivities, and compromised liver detoxification function.
Potential associations with leaky gut syndrome:
•Digestivedysfunction
•Poordiet
•Foodsensitivities
•Bacterialovergrowth •Immunefunction
•Certainmedications
GI Sustain: Formulated for Patients with Leaky Gut Syndrome
