Provides immense relief from leaky gut syndrome
I started using this product upon recommendation from a new (integrative) doctor I started seeing. I've been working on healing from rather severe gut dysbiosis and leaky gut for several months. I was seeing and feeling improvement with only a change in diet (GAPS diet), but it is very slow progress. Upon taking this supplement I noticed a difference after just a few days. I thought there was no way it could work so quickly and that I must have been experiencing a placebo effect, so I stopped taking it. I repeated this "experiment" twice, and each time I felt a very noticable worsening of both physical and psychological symptoms. Each time, within a day or two of starting up again, my symptoms improved significantly. It's sort of expensive, especially because I take more than the recommended dose of 1-2 tsp a day. But I feel such improvement and relief that it's worth the investment.
I should mention that I've tried taking some of these ingredients (NAG, l-glutamine, carnosine, etc) as individual supplements, because the GI Revive is so expensive. Unfortunately, I don't get the same results or anywhere close. This is truly the only leaky gut supplement I've found that has had any real results for me.
A brief note on the taste, for anyone who is interested: It is peach flavored and sweetened with stevia. It's a bit too sweet for my liking, but it's not something that bothers me terribly. All in all, it's a terrific product. The list of ingredients is impressive, and I highly recommend this for anyone suffering from any type of GI distress.
