Leaky Gut Preparations

Glutamine is the primary fuel of the lining of the digestive system and the immune system and as such helps the digestive lining repair itself and helps maintain immunity.

Butyric acid is the natural end result of the bacterial breakdown of fibres from wholefoods, such as fruit and vegetables. Butyric acid feeds the cells of the intestinal lining and is essential in maintaining the integrity of the gastro-intestinal wall. Butyric acid helps L.acidophilus and B.bifidum adhere to gut epithelial tissue. Butyric acid helps to increase the natural healing mechanism of the gut tissue after antifungal treatment for candida. Butyric acid has a normalising effect upon the production of ‘on site’ enzymes and has a supportive role upon intestinal immune resistance.

Liquorice helps maintain the health of the epithelial tissue lining the digestive tract.

Cabagin enhances the growth and effectiveness of natural lactic bacteria in the gut and helps soothe the lining of the stomach and the entire digestive tract.

Zinc is required to help maintain the natural defences of the intestinal mucosal barrier and for tissue repair.

Vitamin A is needed to maintain healthy mucous membranes and skin, and for immune function.

Omega-3 fatty acids help maintain the integrity of the epithelial tissue lining the intestinal tract, skin (and lungs).
