Emerging natural & integrative therapies
The frontier of gut-health research: peptides, plant compounds and integrative approaches with compelling mechanisms that big pharma has little incentive to study. Our community data will help map what they can do.
BPC-157
EmergingBody Protection Compound 157 · Pentadecapeptide BPC 157 · PL 14736
A healing peptide derived from gastric juice, with remarkable research on gut-lining repair, anastomosis healing and fistula closure.
N-Acetyl Glucosamine
EmergingNAG · GlcNAc · N-acetylglucosamine
A building block of the protective mucus layer that lines your gut. A pediatric pilot study reported striking improvements in hard-to-treat IBD.
Berberine
EmergingBerberine hydrochloride · Coptis chinensis · Huang lian
A golden plant alkaloid from traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine that supports gut barrier integrity and a balanced microbiome.
Quercetin
EmergingQuercetin dihydrate · Isoquercetin · Quercetin phytosome
A flavonoid found in onions, apples and capers that supports healthy inflammasome activity and gut barrier function.
EGCG / Green Tea Extract
EmergingEpigallocatechin-3-gallate · Polyphenon E · Green tea catechins
Green tea’s key polyphenol, which stays concentrated in the gut and showed encouraging results in an ulcerative colitis pilot.
Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN)
Early clinicalLDN · Naltrexone 4.5 mg · Opioid antagonist microdose
An off-label, low-dose use of an established medication that has shown promising results in Crohn’s trials and has a devoted patient following.
Phase 2 — in development
Where traditional research stops, our community begins
Natural compounds can’t be patented, so they rarely get the multi-million-dollar trials that drugs receive. That leaves people with Crohn’s without answers to the questions that matter most: what actually helps, at what dose, and for whom? Our Community Symptom Tracker will crowdsource those answers from real people living with Crohn’s, and our upcoming wellness store will make it easy to find quality, third-party-tested products.
- Log your symptoms, supplements and doses in a private daily tracker
- See what’s working for people with the same disease location and medications
- Contribute to the largest real-world dataset on natural Crohn’s support
- Shop curated, third-party-tested protocols from our upcoming store
