NeuroScience, Gut Brain Align 21 Sachets
Delivers dispersible powdered ingredients to promote gut wall integrity, GI cellular health and replication, microbiome diversity, balanced immune responses, and emotional stress resilience*
"Gut-Brain Align" is a professional-grade nutraceutical formulation by NeuroScience designed to support the bidirectional communication network between the gastrointestinal system and the central nervous system (the gut-brain axis).
Science Behind Gut Brain Align
Dysfunctions in gut-brain interactions are found in 40% of people worldwide
- 60% first experienced stress-related mental health issues
Physical or perceived stress impacts gut physiology via:
- GI motility and secretion
- Increases in intestinal permeability
- Increases in visceral perception (gut discomfort)
- Negative effects on microbiota composition, function
- Decreased regenerative capacity of GI mucosa, mucosal blood flow
Balancing the role of GABA in the gut
GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that balances the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate (synthesized from glutamine). CRH influences the colonic gut barrier by disrupting tight junction proteins and increasing permeability, cytokines, and mast cell degranulation
- GABA inhibits CRH | Glutamate promotes CRH
GI cellular health
Stress modulates peptides (i.e., tissue-repairing CGRP) that negatively impact the health and regeneration of GI tract cells
- Uridine downregulates the enzyme (SA bgal) associated with stagnant cell replication, thereby reducing intestinal cellular age*
- Aloe upregulates the PI3K-AKT pathway, a signaling pathway for biological processes like cell survival, proliferation, and angiogenesis*
- DGL is shown to prolong the life span of surface cells in the stomach, while research shows glutamine supports intestinal cell proliferation*
Gut serotonin and SERT
- In the intestinal epithelium, serotonin modulates secretion,
motility, immune signaling, and nociception
- Enterochromaffin cells (EC) produce serotonin while
SERT recycles it (Fig. 2)
- Immune mediators decrease SERT function, leading to excess
serotonin in the colon and plasma
- Research found downregulation of TPH1 and increased SERT
function reduces motility
Saffron is shown in patients with gut issues to
- Reduce diarrhea events, decrease gut immune markers, and aid
bacteria that increase mucin expression (tight junction health)*
- Balance serotonin secretion and SERT function*
- Promote BDNF levels, dopamine release, mood stability, and
feeling calm*
