Preferred Label : Amino Acid/Electrolyte Mixture-based Dietary Supplement;
NCIt synonyms : Proprietary Amino Acid Mixture; Amino Acid/electrolyte-Coupled Transport Supplement;
NCIt definition : A nutritional supplement containing a proprietary mix of amino acids and electrolytes,
with potential rehydrating and gastrointestinal (GI) supportive activities. Upon oral
administration of the amino acid-electrolyte dietary supplement, the electrolytes
are transported by amino acid-coupled transporters across the intestinal epithelial
barriers. This helps rehydrate the intestinal epithelial cells, helps restore normal
bowel function, prevents fluid loss and improves symptoms of diarrhea. In addition,
the supplement helps restore the size and functioning of the damaged villi and facilitates
the restoration of the intestinal cells, thereby helping to restore and increase nutrient
absorption, restoring normal bowel function and supporting healthy immune function.;
