Gastroenterology Healthcare Professionals Praise MOA Video For Medical Foods Product
Entera Health releases its new MOA animation video for prescription medical food product EnteraGam® (serum-derived bovine immunoglobulin/protein isolate, SBI) used in managing IBS-D and IBD.
Ankeny, United States – March 29, 2016 /MarketersMedia/ —
Entera Health Inc. debuted it’s new “Tight Junctions and the Intestinal Gut Barrier” MOA animation video to widespread audience appreciation and accolades at the 2015 American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) National Conference a few months ago. The company continues to receive positive feedback from the many healthcare practitioners lauding the ways they have found the video very helpful.
This informative and exciting animation video dives deep into the cellular mode of barrier function; however, the main take-away is the core binding feature of the EnteraGam® MOA. It is because of this binding feature that a body suffering with IBS-D or IBD has a chance to restore itself to proper gut functionality. The animation illlustrates how EnteraGam® uniquely binds to harmful microbial components in the gut, helping to break the destructive cycle of enteropathy for patients suffering with specific intestinal disorders. By binding the microbial components with immunoglobulins that stay in the gut, EnteraGam® provides for a distinct nutritional requirement that helps manage gut barrier function and allows the body to engage in its own natural healing process, restoring gut homeostasis.
The Tight Junction MOA video can be viewed on EnteraGam.com.
