The discovery of zonulin has fundamentally changed our understanding of ‘leaky gut syndrome.' This article explores zonulin's role in chronic inflammatory, autoimmune, and neurological diseases, and details the breakthrough potential of Larazotide (AT-1001), the first zonulin antagonist, for restoring intestinal barrier function.
An amazing discovery a few years ago revolutionized our ability to understand the gut and permeability and how this impacts a wide range of health conditions from cancer to autoimmune disease to inflammation and food sensitivities. This little molecule, Zonulin, has quite a story… Zonulin Is The “Doorway” To Leaky Gut Zonulin opens up…
