About this supplement
What Is Digestive Comfort + PepZin GI?
A zinc-carnosine complex with three plant materials beside it. PepZin GI is zinc bound to L-carnosine, a dipeptide of beta-alanine and histidine. Mastic gum, aloe inner leaf and slippery elm bark fill out the formula.
How It Works in the Body
Zinc L-carnosine is not zinc and carnosine mixed together. It is one chelated compound, built as a repeating chain, and that structure holds up in stomach acid rather than coming apart at once. It clings to the mucosal surface and lets go of its two halves slowly. Zinc itself is a cofactor in hundreds of human enzymes, including those of protein synthesis.
Slippery elm bark and aloe inner leaf are mucilage materials: long polysaccharides that swell in water into a gel. Mastic is a resin tapped from the trunk of Pistacia lentiscus.
What It Supports
- Mucosal lining: Supports the lining of the stomach and gut, where the zinc-carnosine complex settles and releases zinc locally.
- Protein synthesis: Zinc contributes to normal protein synthesis and wound healing.
- A gel-forming coat: Slippery elm and aloe inner leaf are mucilage plants, and their polysaccharides thicken in water.
- A traditional resin: Mastic gum has been tapped, chewed and used across the eastern Mediterranean for a very long time.
Who It May Suit
A serving is one capsule, which suits anyone keeping the count down, and the formula is short and gut-directed rather than a broad digestive blend. The capsule is hypromellose and the filler rice flour, so vegetarian and vegan eating are both covered.
Good To Know
The zinc here is bound, not free: 37.5 mg of the zinc-carnosine complex supplies 5 mg of zinc per serving. Mastic comes from a tree related to the pistachio, which matters if you avoid tree nuts. Talk with your healthcare provider before use, especially if you are pregnant or nursing, or if you take an antibiotic that zinc can bind in the gut.

FAQ
Common questions
What is it?
A one-capsule formula built around PepZin GI, a zinc-carnosine complex, with mastic gum, aloe inner leaf and slippery elm bark beside it. Zinc L-carnosine is a single chelated compound rather than two ingredients blended, and the three botanicals are long-standing digestive materials.
How does it work?
The zinc-carnosine complex is built as a repeating chain, so it holds together in stomach acid instead of dissolving away at once. It settles on the mucosal surface and releases zinc and carnosine slowly. Slippery elm and aloe are mucilage materials, and their polysaccharides swell in water into a gel.
What makes this formula different?
The zinc is not a plain zinc salt. One capsule carries 37.5 mg of the zinc-carnosine complex, which supplies 5 mg of zinc per serving, alongside 100 mg of slippery elm, 50 mg of mastic gum and 50 mg of a 200:1 aloe inner leaf concentrate.
Who is it for?
Anyone who prefers a short, gut-directed formula to a broad digestive blend, and who wants a single capsule rather than a handful. The capsule is hypromellose and the filler is rice flour, so nothing in it comes from an animal and both vegetarian and vegan eating are covered.
What should I know before taking it?
Talk with your healthcare provider before use, especially if you are pregnant or nursing. Zinc can bind certain antibiotics in the gut and keep them from being taken up, which is worth raising with your provider. Mastic comes from a tree related to the pistachio, so approach it carefully if you avoid tree nuts.
