The lining is irritated, and the fix is to coat it, feed it, and settle what's living on it. Gastro-ULC does all three. Apex builds it on deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) and L-glutamine, with mastic gum, bismuth citrate, bioflavonoid-rich citrus extract, chlorella, gamma oryzanol, and Chinese rhubarb root, to support a healthy gastric lining, a healthy pH balance in the stomach, and healthy microbial balance there.*\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho I Reach For This With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBurning or gnawing stomach discomfort that tracks with meals or stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatients who've been on acid blockers and are working with their prescriber to come off them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone whose stomach complaints flare under pressure, since Apex formulates it with stress in mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs a follow-on after a stomach microbial-balance protocol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes This Form Different\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDGL on its own is a chewable that works for some people. Gastro-ULC adds L-glutamine for the lining, mastic gum and bismuth for the microbial side, and rhubarb root, in a tablet you swallow once a day. For stomach microbial balance specifically, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/h-plr-k32\"\u003eH-PLR\u003c\/a\u003e is the targeted Apex botanical; \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pylori-plex\"\u003ePylori-Plex\u003c\/a\u003e is the Douglas option.
