The gut barrier is a vital system consisting of a single layer of epithelial cells lining the intestines, supported by tight junctions. This barrier selectively allows nutrients and beneficial substances to enter the bloodstream while blocking harmful toxins and pathogens.
Signs and Advantages:
A healthy gut barrier is crucial for digestion and nutrient absorption, maintaining gut bacteria balance, and supporting immune function. An intact gut barrier reduces the risk of gastrointestinal disorders and inflammation.
