Introducing Our Latest Innovations in Digestive Health

At Provita Nutrition, we are dedicated to developing advanced, science-driven formulations that address critical aspects of health and wellness. Our latest product innovations, Gut Immune and Heavy Metal Detox, expand our Digestive Health category by supporting gut integrity, microbiome balance, and detoxification. 

Gut Immune – Targeted Gut-Immune Axis Support 

The gut serves as the foundation of immune resilience, metabolic regulation, and systemic inflammation control. Gut Immune is a precision-formulated blend designed to strengthen the gut-immune axis, enhance microbiome diversity, and support intestinal barrier integrity. 

• Haritaki (Terminalia chebula): A well-documented Ayurvedic botanical, Haritaki has been shown to exhibit prebiotic, anti-inflammatory, and gut-modulating effects, promoting microbial balance and digestive health (Agarwal et al., 2020). 
• Lactobacillus fermentum: A probiotic strain studied for its role in enhancing mucosal immunity, reducing gut permeability, and supporting microbial balance (West et al., 2019). 
• L-Glutamine: An essential amino acid that serves as a primary fuel source for intestinal cells (enterocytes), playing a critical role in gut lining repair and reducing intestinal permeability (Kim et al., 2013). 
• Zinc & Copper: These trace minerals are essential for immune signalling, gut barrier function, and enzymatic activity, with zinc playing a role in tight junction integrity and wound healing (Read et al., 2019). 

By addressing gut microbiota balance, immune modulation, and barrier protection, Gut Immune is an advanced solution for those seeking to optimize gastrointestinal health and systemic resilience. 

Heavy Metal Detox – Advanced Chelation and Liver Support 

Heavy metals accumulate in the body through environmental exposure, dietary intake, and industrial pollutants, disrupting metabolic function and oxidative balance. Heavy Metal Detox is a precision-formulated blend designed to support the body's natural detoxification pathways, utilizing clinically studied compounds that facilitate metal binding, mobilization, and excretion. 

• EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid): A widely used chelation agent that binds to toxic heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury, promoting their excretion through urine (Barceloux et al., 1999). 
• N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) & L-Cysteine: These precursors to glutathione enhance the body's antioxidant defense system and hepatic detoxification processes, helping to neutralize heavy metal-induced oxidative stress (Forman et al., 2009). 
• L-Malic Acid: Plays a role in aluminum detoxification and supports cellular energy production through its involvement in the Krebs cycle (Krasnikov et al., 2020). 
• Cilantro Extract: Known for its ability to mobilize heavy metals from tissues, making them more bioavailable for excretion (Omura et al., 1996). 

By integrating multi-pathway detoxification mechanisms—including chelation, glutathione conjugation, and hepatic processing—Heavy Metal Detox offers comprehensive support for metal clearance while safeguarding cellular integrity.
