Hypoallergenic formula, 100% of protein from free amino acids, especially L-glutamine, an essential fuel for intestinal cells. Contains easily assimilated and tolerated carbohydrates. All nutrient needs are met, while requiring little to no digestive function for macronutrient breakdown. Excellent taste for better compliance ElementAll Biological Diet is an elemental diet formula that provides complete, hypoallergenic, and easily digestible nutrition for individuals with impaired digestive function. The therapeutic efficacy of elemental diets has been partly attributed to the elimination of all allergens (while providing nutrients requiring minimal digestion). This promotes healing of the gastrointestinal mucosa, normalization of intestinal permeability, and improvement in clinical symptoms in participants with Crohn's disease (as determined by the lactulose/L-rhamnose permeability ratio). In individuals with newly diagnosed Crohn's disease, a complete elemental diet induces remission in over 80% of patients, while a "semi-elemental diet" significantly reduces relapse rates when followed long-term. Elemental diets target the gut microbiota as well as inflammation; in addition to suppressing NF-κB levels (a critical regulator of inflammation), they significantly reduce the population of Bacteroides fragilis, a species linked to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer. Among individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and abnormal lactulose breath tests (indicating small intestinal bacterial overgrowth [SIBO]), 85% had their breath values normalize and their symptoms improve after following an elemental diet. Elemental diets have also resulted in improvement similar to corticosteroid therapy in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis, as well as immunopathologic and clinical improvement in individuals with refractory celiac disease. ElementalAll Biological Diet provides all essential micro- and macronutrients optimized for easy assimilation and is designed to be the sole source of nutrition for individuals with impaired digestive function.
