Gastrointestinal Support:
Relieving Symptoms from the Inside Out
The gastrointestinal (GI) system forms the very core of our bodies.
So it’s understandable that many common complaints take root in
the GI system and are among the leading reasons that patients seek
health care.
Certain Approaches Only Provide Temporary Relief
While common approaches may alleviate symptoms—such as occasional indigestion, occasional
heartburn, abdominal cramping, urgent bowel movements, or occasional constipation—they
may only temporarily mask the underlying issues and have potential adverse effects.
Addressing Core Issues: Healthier Approaches for Lasting Relief
Alarming GI Health Statistics
for U.S. Adults
Digestive-related symptoms
are among the most common
presenting complaints in a
clinical setting:
1 in 4 may have functional
GI complaints that affect
daily living.
The GI tract is a complex organ system easily influenced by factors such as microflora and microbial balance, digestive enzymes, or GI lining integrity. Microflora, or “friendly” bacteria in the GI tract,
play an important role in digestion, microbial balance, and immune function. Digestive enzymes
function to split proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, making them critical to adequate digestion of
foods for proper nutrient absorption. The GI mucosal lining, when healthy, provides a protective
barrier to inhibit the flow of ingested matter to other parts of the body.
Thus, promoting the health of the GI tract not only helps relieve digestive discomforts, it also

Introducing...
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.
Addresses underlying issues associated
with leaky gut syndrome
Designed for optimal patient compliance
• Promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria to address dysbiosis.
• Powder form for easy dosing.
• Supports gastrointestinal (GI) mucosal integrity.
• Naturally sweet, pleasant flavoXr.
• Nourishes the cells of the colonic mucosa.
• Easy-to-follow program guide with dietary plan.
• Formulated for easy digestion.
• Features low-allergy-potential, readily digestible macronutrients
to complement an elimination diet for patients with food intolerances and sensitivities.
