A Strong Gut Means Stronger Outcomes Everywhere Else
Many clinical challenges—fatigue, inflammation, anxiety, weight resistance—are rooted in gut dysfunction. Whether caused by stress, medications, hormones, or diet, compromised gut health affects immunity, metabolism, and mood.
This stack supports gut lining integrity, inflammation control, and nutrient absorption, helping patients rebuild from the inside out. It’s an ideal companion to aesthetic, GLP-1, or hormone programs—and essential for post-antibiotic or post-COVID recovery.
Ideal Use Cases
Recommend this stack for patients with:
- Bloating, irregularity, or IBS-like symptoms
- Poor digestion or nutrient absorption
- Post-antibiotic or post-GLP-1 gut symptoms
- Long-COVID or chronic fatigue with suspected gut issues
- Leaky gut, food sensitivities, or autoimmune triggers
- History of restrictive dieting or GI inflammation
Best for:
- Women 35+ in perimenopause/postpartum phases
- Men with inflammation or digestive fatigue
- GLP-1 users reporting GI disruption or discomfort
- Post-infection or chronic immune dysfunction patients
ShineRx Core Compounds for Mood & Focus
| Compound | Function | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Glutathione | Reduces gut lining inflammation, supports detox pathways | Ideal for GI repair, immune reset, and inflammation regulation |
| NAD+ | Supports mitochondrial healing and gut-brain communication | Enhances energy and tissue repair post-infection or antibiotic use |
| PeptideVite | Replenishes micronutrients and supports mucosal lining | Combats depletion and improves peptide response |
| MIC/B6/B12 | Improves methylation, bile flow, and detox metabolism | Especially helpful in slow metabolizers and sluggish digestion |
| L-Carnitine | Supports fat metabolism and GI energy output | Optional in metabolically sluggish or overweight patients |
Optional additions:
- GLP-1 offset protocol (when GI side effects from Semaglutide or Tirzepatide occur)
- BHRT or cortisol support (when GI symptoms are hormone-linked)
Sample Protocol Template
| Day | Compound | Dosage | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| M/W/F | Glutathione | 200mg IM or SQ | Can be paired with NAD+ or MIC/B12 for ease |
| M/W/F | NAD+ | 50–100mg SQ | Especially post-COVID or post-antibiotic |
| Weekly | MIC/B6/B12 | 1mL IM | Supports bile flow and liver detox pathways |
| Daily oral | PeptideVite | As directed | Maintain for 60–90 days for mucosal and absorption support |
| Weekly | L-Carnitine | 500–1000mg IM | Optional in patients with fatigue or metabolic syndrome |
Adjust based on provider guidance, patient tolerance, and response.
Clinical Outcomes to Expect
- Improved digestion, less bloating/gas
- More regular and complete bowel movements
- Reduced food sensitivity reactions
- Better nutrient absorption and lab normalization
- Improved skin, mood, and energy via gut-brain axis
- Better tolerance of GLP-1 or hormonal therapies
Most patients feel initial digestive improvement within 2–3 weeks, with full mucosal repair taking 6–8+ weeks.
Suggested Protocol Duration
- Initial phase: 6–8 weeks minimum
- Maintenance: Seasonal 4-week support or post-travel/illness recovery
- Ideal to offer as part of wellness resets or post-weight loss repair packages
