Intestinal Permeability Reduction

Meaning

Intestinal Permeability Reduction is the clinical goal of tightening the structural junctions between the epithelial cells lining the small and large intestines, thereby decreasing the unwanted passage of large molecules, toxins, and undigested food particles into the bloodstream. Elevated intestinal permeability, often referred to as “leaky gut,” is a key driver of systemic inflammation and immune dysregulation. Successful reduction of this permeability is foundational for mitigating chronic inflammation and supporting hormonal balance.
