Leaky Gut Supplements – Amy Myers MD®
Leaky gut syndrome happens when the tight junctions that hold your intestinal wall together become loose, leading to intestinal permeability. You can think of your gut as a drawbridge. Your gut is naturally semi-permeable to let teeny-tiny boats (micronutrients) pass through your intestinal wall and into your bloodstream. It’s how you absorb your food. Certain external factors, including food, infections, toxins, and stress, can break apart the tight junctions in your intestinal wall, leaving the drawbridge open.
Once this happens, you have a leaky gut. When your gut is leaky, much larger boats that were never meant to get through (toxins, microbes, bacteria, and undigested food particles) can escape into your bloodstream. Your immune system marks these “foreign invaders” as pathogens and attacks them, leading to inflammation. If left untreated, it can result in chronic digestive issues and negatively affect your overall health.
Amy Myers MD® offers leaky gut supplements designed to promote the healing of the intestinal lining and assist the balance to your gut health. Our products are carefully formulated with ingredients like L-glutamine and Collagen, which support the intestinal barrier and reduce inflammation. These ingredients help strengthen tight junctions between intestinal cells, which are essential for maintaining proper intestinal permeability and preventing harmful substances from leaking into the bloodstream.
The foundation of healthy digestion starts with a balanced gut microbiome. Our probiotics contain beneficial strains that support a healthy gut, helping to balance the bacteria in your digestive system and reduce symptoms like bloating, irregular bowel movements, and discomfort. In addition, our prebiotics help nourish and feed the good bacteria in your gut, further supporting digestive and immune health.
By addressing the underlying causes of a leaky gut, our supplements work to assist the intestinal lining, support digestion, and assist the immune system. For those struggling with symptoms such as fatigue, food sensitivities, or digestive distress, these supplements offer targeted support.
