The health and integrity of the epithelial lining of the gastrointestinal tract is important for proper absorption of nutrients, for maintaining healthy microbial balance in the gut, and a state of homeostasis throughout the body. When increased intestinal permeability (also known as "leaky gut") exists within the gastrointestinal tract, an environment conducive to inadequate absorption of nutrients and increased absorption of toxins, pathogenic bacteria and inflammatory substances exists, potentially leading to weakened immunity and compromised health. Dietary supplementation with nutrients the body uses to produce healthy epithelial tissue, regulate transit time and balance microbiology may support gastrointestinal health. Digestive support may also benefit individuals with increased intestinal permeability.
Increased intestinal permeability is common among individuals with chronic stress, allergies, and microbial infestations. Weakened immunity, including conditions of hypo-immunity and auto-immunity, may involve "leaky gut". Consumption of foods processed with chemical additives and preservatives, having low levels of nutritional value, as well as caffeine and alcohol consumption may lead to an increase in intestinal permeability. The over use of drugs, both prescription and over the counter, environmental contaminants such as car exhaust, perfumes and cleaning chemicals are also potential avenues to developing increased intestinal permeability.*
