More about IntestiCom™

IntestiCom™ is Energique's strongest herbal extraction to date, formulated to support healthy stool consistency, digestive comfort, and intestinal barrier integrity.  Alongside other herbal blends which focus on maintaining bowel movement frequency, IntestiCom™ rounds out Energique's line by offering support for the opposite end of the spectrum. This potent blend of intestinal tonics and classical astringents promotes healthy stool formation and consistency by tonifying intestinal tissues and supporting normal water balance in the bowels.

Blended from highly concentrated spagyric extracts, IntestiCom™ maximizes the availability and delivery of such active constituents as tannins, gallic and ellagic acids, to directly support the health and function of the intestinal mucosa.  These astringents work to tonify the tissue
and regulate fluid loss, in both the short and long term. IntestiCom™ is formulated as an option to provide support in acute, sub-acute, and chronic situations, with an emphasis on supporting healthy clearance and circulation through the intestinal lymphatics.

About the Formulation

IntestiCom™ was created by Energique's Naturopathic Doctors, to offer the most traditionally effective herbs in a comprehensive blend of concentrated spagyric extracts, to offer a potent dose of the most trusted herbs, from the teachings of clinical herbalists, including the American Eclectics. 

The extensive wisdom and writings of these traditional healers guided the selection of the herbs Cranesbill and Meadowsweet, as among the most dependable and heavily praised fortifiers for the intestines.  Blending traditional knowledge with a modern understanding of active constituents, a synergistic blend of supporting herbs was carefully selected to provide a full array of important astringent compounds. Tannins, from White Oak bark, and Ellagic Acid, from Blackberry leaf, provide proven benefits at the cellular level, to complement the formula’s main action.  Finally, Wild Indigo and Mugwort provide tissue-specific lymphatic support, while helping to maintain a healthy microbiome, with Yarrow chosen as an aromatic synergist to support immune health and digestion.

The Role of Astringents in Gut Health

IntestiCom™ brings together herbs with a long tradition of strengthening the intestinal lining itself.  Cranesbill and White Oak have both been valued for their ability to tonify tissues and support the integrity of the mucosal surface.  Meadowsweet offers additional soothing benefits to the gastric environment, while contributing compounds that help maintain a healthy inflammatory response.  Blackberry leaf, with its natural ellagic acid content, has been recognized for supporting healthy barrier function in the gut and helping the intestinal wall maintain its resilience.  In combination, these botanicals address, not only comfort and function, but also promote healthy permeability and protect the intestinal lining from undue stress.

The Spagyric Extraction Process

IntestiCom™ is the first blend to showcase Energique's updated extraction capabilities, elevating their Spagyric herbal liquids to a new level of concentration and potency.  While the core of their process remains the same, their new equipment delivers herbal products with increased strength and activity, in support of innovative blends, combining traditional herbal energetics with the evidence-based benefits of specific active constituents:

• Salicin (from Filipendula ulmaria) protects the intestinal mucosa, and helps to modulate pro-inflammatory cytokine activity.
• Tannins (from Quercus alba) is converted by gut flora into secondary metabolites that support the microbiome by increasing immuno-modulatory strains.
• Gallic Acid (from Geranium maculatum) increases antioxidant defense and exhibits cellular protective effects in the intestinal mucosa.
• Ellagic Acid (from Rubus fruticosus) enhances intestinal barrier function, and shifts the microbiome towards beneficial species.

Combining the activity of botanical constituents with the energetic properties of herbs backed by centuries of tradition, IntestiCom™ addresses the root causes of intestinal health at the microscopic and functional level, targeting not simply the microbiome, but the tissues themselves, expanding herbal support options for gut health in clinical practice.
