Description
The G.E.M.M. Protocol is a clinical strategy to prevent and treat acute and chronic disease at its cellular origins and aims to re-establish each patient's unique gut ecology, by supporting the growth, development and diversity of the microbiota.
The gut is now widely considered to function as a metabolic organ which plays a primary role in human immunity. A major contributor is the close interrelationships among five key elements ‐ the Intestinal Epithelium and its overlying mucous membranes (IEFC), its underlying Immune cells, the Gut microbiota, the Capillary bed and the Neural networks that enable communication from the gut to other body systems.
Integra Nutritionals BCP-B is a key component of the G.E.M.M. protocol in its role in improving intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction and is derived from pure collagen to support bone health and related connective tissues. Bioactive Bovine Collagen Peptides are partially-digested collagen protein, BCP-B contains all the amino acids naturally-occuring in collagen but with peptide combinations that specifically target bone tissue. BCP-B is:
- Highly soluble
- Easily digestible
- Rapidly-absorbed
- Neutral taste and colour
- Stable to heat and acid
- Nutrigenomically-active
Integra Nutritionals BCP-B acts nutrigenomically to stimulate bone osteoblasts in increasing production of the extracellular matrix. In addition, BCP-B regulates degenerative processes by reducing protease production in osteoclasts.
A 12 month placebo-controlled study of 180 post-menopausal women with reduced bone mass took 5 grams of BCP-B daily. BoneMineral Density of the spine and femoral neck increased significantly.
