Curated, not stocked.
Thorne earns its place here because of the formulation logic: three ingredients with distinct, complementary mechanisms rather than a scatter-shot blend. L-glutamine, zinc carnosine, and DGL each have a specific evidence base for mucosal support, and combining them in a powder format aids absorption and flexible dosing. This is the kind of product our clinicians reach for when a patient's gut health needs targeted structural support, not just probiotic maintenance.
About this product
EnteroMend
EnteroMend by Thorne is a powdered gut-lining support formula combining three well-studied ingredients: L-glutamine, zinc carnosine, and deglycyrrhizinated liquorice (DGL). Each plays a distinct role. L-glutamine is the primary fuel source for enterocytes — the cells that line the intestinal wall — and is commonly used to support mucosal integrity during periods of stress, illness, or intense training. Zinc carnosine is a chelated compound studied specifically for its ability to adhere to the gastric and intestinal mucosa, where it may help stabilise the gut lining and reduce irritation. DGL is a form of liquorice root with the glycyrrhizin removed, which means it retains its soothing properties without the blood-pressure concerns associated with whole liquorice extract.
This combination suits people dealing with digestive discomfort, those recovering from a course of antibiotics or gut-disrupting medication, athletes in heavy training who experience gastrointestinal symptoms, or anyone whose blood work or clinical assessment points to compromised gut integrity. It fits neatly into a morning and evening routine alongside meals. Thorne is a brand with a strong track record in professional and clinical settings, and their manufacturing standards are consistently cited by practitioners who work with patients on targeted supplementation protocols.

Common questions
Frequently asked
Who is EnteroMend most suitable for?
It suits people with diagnosed or suspected gut lining compromise — for example, those with ongoing digestive discomfort, recovering from antibiotics or NSAIDs, or athletes experiencing GI distress during training. It is worth discussing with a clinician if you are managing a diagnosed condition such as IBD or IBS.
Is DGL safe for people sensitive to liquorice or with high blood pressure?
DGL (deglycyrrhizinated liquorice) has had the glycyrrhizin compound removed — this is the constituent linked to blood pressure elevation and hormonal effects. Most people who cannot tolerate whole liquorice extract tolerate DGL well, but if you have a known allergy to liquorice root, check with your doctor first.
Can I take this alongside other supplements or medications?
L-glutamine and DGL are generally well tolerated alongside most supplements. Zinc can interfere with the absorption of certain antibiotics and copper, so if you are taking prescription medications or high-dose minerals, check with a pharmacist or clinician before adding this.
How long before I notice a difference?
Gut lining support typically requires consistent use over several weeks. Most practitioners suggest a minimum of four to eight weeks before assessing response, though some people notice reduced bloating or discomfort sooner. Individual results vary depending on the underlying cause of symptoms.
Can I mix this into hot drinks or food?
It is generally advisable to mix gut-lining powders into cool or room-temperature liquids rather than hot drinks, as heat can degrade some amino acids. Check the packaging for any specific preparation guidance from Thorne.
