What Is Pepzin GI?
When you talk about PepZin GI, you have to talk about two elements: zinc and carnosine. Let’s start with zinc. It is an essential trace element and a cofactor of over 300 enzymes (sometimes referred to as metalloproteins). Zinc plays a significant part in many bodily functions, like —
- Cell division
- Immune system support
- Protein synthesis
- DNA synthesis1
Carnosine is what is known as an endogenous dipeptide, which is said to inhibit food intake. Furthermore, carnosine is relatively small and also water-soluble. It exists naturally in many organisms throughout the planet like fish, mammals, and humans. You can find carnosine in your skeletal muscles, your stomach, kidneys, heart, and brain.2
Zinc-L-carnosine is also called polaprezinc or PepZin GI. Basically, PepZin GI is a chelated compound that contains both L-carnosine and zinc and can be found in various supplements.3
Zinc is an essential mineral found in various animal proteins, like meat, eggs, dairy, and shellfish. In terms of benefits to the human body, zinc is critical to help with cell proliferation and cell repair.4
PepZin GI has been known to help support more comfortable digestion. In fact, in a recent randomized, double-blind study, nearly 300 patients suffering from gastric distress issues were given PepZinGI for a period of 8 weeks. It turned out that a majority of the participants experienced an improvement when it came to digestive comfort.8,9†︎
The mineral zinc is used in PepZin GI and works as a critical component of a number of physiological processes in your body. For instance, PepZin GI may help support:
- Cell health†︎
- Skin health†︎
- The regulation of lipid metabolism.10†︎
Zinc also exhibits excellent antioxidant activity. This means it may assist your body’s natural defense against free radicals.11†︎
Though iron’s importance to human health has been recognized and studied since ancient times, zinc wasn’t recognized as biologically significant until centuries later. But in the 20th century, researchers began to identify and examine zinc deficiency in mammals.5
Finally, in the 1950s, zinc was recognized as a necessary micronutrient for human biophysical function.6
As far as carnosine goes, it wasn’t discovered until the early years of the twentieth century by a Russian biochemist named V.S. Gulevich. He found there were unidentified nitrogen-containing compounds in muscle. When he finally isolated the compounds from muscle, he came up with carnosine.7
The question you might be asking now is where to buy PepZin GI. Gundry MD Total Restore is one of the supplements containing PepZin Gi, and you can read more about it on the Gundry MD Total Restore website.
The site will take you on a virtual tour of Total Resore’s ingredients. You will also be able to peruse a great selection of Total Restore product reviews. Read through them to learn more about PepZin GI and Total Restore. You can also review other Gundry MD supplements like our prebiotic drink and travel to their ingredient pages. As always, consult your doctor before giving any new supplement a try.
