The Leaky Gut Test helps you assess the strength of your gut wall, crucial for digestive health and overall well-being. A healthy gut wall ensures proper nutrient absorption, improved digestion, and a stronger immune system. It also reduces the risk of food intolerances and inflammation.
A gut is only as healthy as the gut barrier.
- Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: Supports efficient uptake of essential vitamins and minerals.
- Improved Digestive Function: Reduces digestive discomfort by preventing undigested food particles from entering the bloodstream.
- Strengthened Immune System: Acts as a barrier against harmful pathogens and toxins, lowering the risk of infection.
- Prevention of Food Intolerances: Protects against immune responses triggered by undigested food particles.
- Reduced Inflammation: Prevents chronic inflammation linked to autoimmune disorders, metabolic issues, and other health conditions.
Signs of Leaky Gut:
- Poor diet, especially gluten-rich or processed foods
- Chronic stress
- Use of medications like NSAIDs, PPIs, or antibiotics
- Recent gut infections
- Exposure to mould or environmental toxins
How Does the Leaky Gut Test Work?
The test uses a lactulose/mannitol method to assess intestinal permeability. It measures the absorption and excretion of two sugars—mannitol, which is absorbed normally, and lactulose, which is not. When the gut is compromised, the presence of lactulose in the urine increases, indicating a “leaky gut.”
How to Take the Test:
- Receive a convenient at-home test kit with detailed instructions.
- Collect your sample and send it back using the prepaid return satchel.
What You’ll Get:
After the test, you’ll receive a detailed analysis and a personalised, evidence-based protocol from a qualified naturopath and microbiome expert to help restore your gut health.
Take the Leaky Gut Test to gain insight into your gut health and start your journey to a stronger gut wall.
