Ulcetrol With PepZin GI® & Mastic Gum: Gastric Protection, Digestive Comfort and Mucosal Support – Advanced Complex with Zinc-L-Carnosine, Mastic Gum and Slippery Elm for GI Tract Balance

Ulcetrol With PepZin GI® & Mastic Gum, NOW Foods is a specially formulated dietary supplement for supporting gastric comfort and digestive mucosal integrity, featuring a carefully selected combination of nutrients and herbs recognized for their role in protecting and soothing the gastrointestinal tract. The formula contains calcium (from calcium carbonate) 70 mg, zinc 8 mg from PepZin GI®, PepZin GI® (zinc-L-carnosine complex) 37.5 mg, mastic gum powder (Pistacia lentiscus) 100 mg and slippery elm (Ulmus rubra) – bark 100 mg. This combination aims to support both the mucosal protective barrier and the natural processes of tissue repair and gastric environment balance.

The digestive tract is exposed daily to factors that can irritate or sensitize the mucosa: stress, irregular meals, spicy or acidic foods, coffee consumption, periods of overexertion, but also dysbiosis or imbalances of digestive secretions. The gastric and intestinal mucosa functions as a biological "shield": it separates the internal environment from aggressions in the digestive lumen and simultaneously ensures efficient nutrient absorption. When this shield is weakened, sensations of burning, discomfort, bloating, post-meal sensitivity or reduced digestive tolerance may appear. Ulcetrol addresses exactly this type of needs, emphasizing protection, soothing and supporting mucosal restoration.

Detailed Benefits of Ulcetrol With PepZin GI® & Mastic Gum

• Gastric mucosal protection and digestive barrier integrity support

The gastric mucosa is a dynamic structure, composed of specialized cells and a protective mucus layer. Its role is to protect tissue from stomach acidity and digestive enzymes. In situations where the balance between aggressive and protective factors changes, the mucosa can become more vulnerable, and the body may experience discomfort.

Ulcetrol combines ingredients with complementary roles to support this barrier:
✅ supporting the protective layer of the mucosa
✅ maintaining a better tolerated gastric environment
✅ supporting digestive tissue resilience against irritating factors

This approach is especially useful for people with sensitive stomachs or recurrent episodes of digestive discomfort.

• PepZin GI® (zinc-L-carnosine) – supporting mucosal repair and local balance

PepZin GI® is a complex of zinc and L-carnosine used in formulas dedicated to gastric health. The particularity of this complex is that it can adhere to the gastric mucosa, offering local, targeted support, which makes it different from ordinary zinc sources. Zinc is an essential mineral involved in numerous cellular processes, including tissue repair, maintaining epithelial integrity and local antioxidant function.

Through the intake of 37.5 mg PepZin GI® (which provides 8 mg zinc), the formula can contribute to:
✅ supporting the natural regeneration processes of the mucosa
✅ maintaining the normal structure of the gastric epithelium
✅ supporting local defense against oxidative stress and inflammation

L-carnosine, the peptide component of the complex, is associated with antioxidant and tissue protection roles, complementing zinc's action in a synergistic manner.

• Mastic gum (Pistacia lentiscus) – gastric comfort and digestive balance

Mastic gum is a natural resin obtained from Pistacia lentiscus, traditionally used for stomach and digestion support. It is appreciated for its ability to contribute to gastric comfort, especially in situations of sensitivity, burning or "irritated stomach" sensation. Through its natural compounds, mastic is associated with supporting a more balanced gastric environment and maintaining post-meal comfort.

In the formula, 100 mg mastic gum powder can support:
✅ soothing gastric discomfort sensations
✅ maintaining better tolerated digestion, especially after demanding meals
✅ supporting local balance of the upper tract

This ingredient is valuable especially through its traditional nature and its targeted application to the stomach.

• Slippery elm (Ulmus rubra) – emollient and soothing effect for digestive mucosa

Slippery elm is recognized for its mucilage content – compounds that, in contact with liquids, form a gelatinous texture with an emollient role. This characteristic makes it useful for soothing irritated mucosa and supporting a "coating" sensation of the digestive tract, contributing to comfort.

Through 100 mg slippery elm bark, Ulcetrol can contribute to:
✅ supporting comfort at gastric and esophageal level (in the context of sensitivity)
✅ protecting the mucosa through a local emollient effect
✅ reducing the irritation sensation associated with dietary or environmental factors

The action of slippery elm is particularly appreciated for the soothing sensation it can offer in a sensitive digestive tract.

• Calcium (calcium carbonate) – mineral support and gastric environment balance

Calcium is known in digestive formulas also for its buffering role, depending on the physiological context, contributing to maintaining a better tolerated environment. Additionally, calcium is an essential mineral for neuromuscular function and bone health, but in this formula it also has relevance for gastric comfort, alongside protective ingredients.

The intake of 70 mg calcium can support:
✅ maintaining better gastric comfort, through contribution to local balance
✅ complementary mineral support in a formula oriented toward mucosa
✅ integration of a useful nutritional component, in addition to herbs and PepZin GI® complex

• Supporting digestion during periods of stress, irregular meals or increased sensitivity

Stress directly influences digestion through the gut-brain axis, modifying secretions, motility and perception of discomfort. Irregular meals or irritating foods can amplify sensitivity. Ulcetrol is formulated to offer support that targets both protection (slippery elm) and restoration (PepZin GI®), plus gastric comfort (mastic), which creates a complete strategy, oriented toward people who feel their stomach easily reacts to external factors.

Through this combination, the product can support:
✅ digestive tolerance in demanding contexts
✅ the sensation of "calming" and stomach stabilization
✅ maintaining more comfortable digestion from day to day

• Antioxidant balance and support for local defense

The digestive mucosa is exposed not only to acidity, but also to oxidative stress, especially during periods of inflammation or irritation. Zinc, along with L-carnosine, supports local antioxidant defense and cellular integrity, contributing to maintaining more resistant tissue that is better able to repair itself.

This support can be reflected in:
✅ maintaining normal function of mucosal cells
✅ reducing the impact of oxidative stress on sensitive tissues
✅ supporting a more balanced local response

Through the combination of PepZin GI® (zinc-L-carnosine), mastic gum, slippery elm and calcium, Ulcetrol With PepZin GI® & Mastic Gum, NOW Foods offers a complex formula for gastric protection, digestive comfort and mucosal support, addressing the needs of people who desire targeted support for upper gastrointestinal tract balance.
