At Purely Integrative, we’re committed to supporting your overall wellness, and today, we’d like to talk about a common but often overlooked health concern—leaky gut!
Leaky gut occurs when the lining of the small intestine becomes damaged, leading to a “leak” that allows toxins, undigested food particles, and other harmful substances to enter the bloodstream. This can trigger inflammation and immune responses that may affect your overall health. Think of your gut barrier as a protective fence, with cells acting like sturdy fence panels. When the fence panels are damaged, it allows bacteria, pathogens, and toxins to slip through. That’s when your immune system soldiers spring into action to defend your body.
Common symptoms of leaky gut include:
- Bloating or gas
- Fatigue or brain fog
- Digestive discomfort
- Skin issues like acne or eczema
- Food sensitivities
- Joint pain
Several factors can contribute to the development of leaky gut, including:
- SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth): An imbalance of bacteria in the small intestine that can interfere with digestion and disrupt the gut lining.
- Food Allergies: Reactions to certain foods can cause inflammation in the gut, contributing to damage of the intestinal lining.
- Chronic Stress: Prolonged stress affects gut health by impairing digestion and weakening the gut barrier.
- Environmental Toxins: Exposure to toxins from pesticides, heavy metals, and other pollutants can damage the gut lining.
- Microbiome Alterations: An imbalance in the gut microbiome (the community of bacteria and other microorganisms) can compromise the gut’s ability to protect itself.
- Fungal Overgrowth: An overgrowth of yeast or fungi, such as Candida, can damage the intestinal lining and contribute to leaky gut.
If you’ve been experiencing any of these symptoms or suspect you may be dealing with leaky gut, it’s important to take steps to support your digestive system.
At Purely Integrative, we offer a range of supplements designed to help promote gut healing and restore balance. Here are some products specifically formulated to address leaky gut:

With a high dose of L-glutamine (4 g), Gluta Repair & Restore provides essential nutrition for the gut lining. It also includes 500 mg of deglycyrrhized licorice root extract (DGL) and 75 mg of aloe vera extract, which protect and promote the health of the gut mucosa. To further boost GI integrity, it contains N-acetyl glucosamine and zinc.
