Reduce issues related to IBS, such as constipation, diarrhea, and bloating, while delivering foundational healing that promotes overall health. The mucosal barrier of your small intestine is critical to the health of numerous processes, including digestion, the gut-brain relationship, and defense against microscopic offenders. When your mucosal barrier is compromised, you are at risk of food intolerance, nutrient deficiencies, pH problems, permeability, and foreign substances (antigen penetration). These complications irritate your mucosal barrier and lead to a vicious cycle of inflammation and a wide array of symptoms. Unlike the colon, which is coated with two protective layers, the small intestine only has one layer of mucosa. Keeping it nourished and healthy is imperative to overall health. Leaky Gut-X supports the mucosal barrier with a blend of botanicals and the amino acid L-Glutamine, to nourish epithelial tissues, enhance the quality of mucus, and promote sIgA (first-line immune defense) production. When combined with healthy eating, hydration, and the removal of foreign substances which cause the barrier to be compromised, healing happens. Beware of products that contain ingredients known to aggravate SIBO, especially slippery elm, marshmallow, and aloe vera. They are high in mucopolysaccharides which encourage SIBO (which complicates leaky gut).

• L-Glutamine – A key amino acid important for the normal growth and maintenance of the cells in the intestine. Its role as a source of energy for intestinal epithelial cells is well known.
• Quercetin Dihydrate – A bioflavonoid that exhibits numerous properties, with positive effects on the mucosal barrier’s epithelial cells.
• Cat’s Claw Bark Extract – A vine native to South America, the bark of which has been used in traditional medicine to treat various gastric conditions.
• Phosphatidylcholine – Concentrations of phosphatidylcholine promote mucus health, fortify intestinal epithelial cell membranes, and ease inflammation.
• MSM (MethylsulfonylMethane) – To defend against oxidative stress that occur when foreign substances wreak havoc.
• Hawthorn Leaf Extract – To aid in protecting intestinal mucosal cells from oxidative stress and inflammation.
• Milk Thistle Seed Extract – An herbal extract containing an antioxidant that supports defense against mucosal damage by substances that can lead to oxidative stress and inflammation.
• Siberian Ginseng Root Extract – An adaptogen to enhance mucosal response against harmful triggers and oxidative stress.
• Turmeric Root Extract – To balance and soothe mucosal inflammation while supporting bowel motility.
• Bromelain – A digestive enzyme to help break down nutrients in the late digestion phase, thereby reducing the demand on mucosal immunity.
