The formula is designed around stomach-lining support. PepZin GI is the centrepiece because zinc carnosine is commonly used for gastric comfort and for supporting the integrity of the stomach lining, while mastic gum, aloe and slippery elm add extra soothing digestive support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good example of a formula where the added ingredients genuinely matter. Mastic gum has a long history of use for stomach health, and aloe vera with slippery elm are both commonly used when you want a gentler feel in the upper digestive tract. Research on zinc carnosine is one reason this ingredient is so often used in stomach-support products, so Now Gastro Comfort makes most sense when upper digestive comfort is the main priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is PepZin GI in Now Gastro Comfort with PepZin GI?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePepZin GI is a zinc-L-carnosine complex.
