Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) stimulate the microbial flora to produce butyric acid, essential for colonocyte integrity.
L-glutamine (and aspartic acid) are primary cell fuels for enterocytes and also act as a glutathione precursor
L-arginine supports mucosal cell growth and repairs and stimulates the mucosal production of nitric oxide by mucosal defense cells
Vitamin C and vitamin E stimulate the mucosal immune system and assist in the repair and growth of the mucosal barrier
N-acetyl glucosamine forms part of the glycocalyx exudates at the surface of the mucosal barrier
Zinc stimulates the mucosal immune system
Vitamin A is essential for correct differentiation and integrity of epithelial cells. Vitamin A deficiency causes flat, dry, keratinised epithelial cells.
Ginger oil soothes the intestinal lining and assists in repair and normal functioning

Caution: There is concern that use of N-acetyl glucosamine products derived from exoskeletons of of shrimp, lobster, and crab might cause reactions in people allergic to shellfish, although no reactions have been reported as of August 2009.

There is also some evidence that patients with shellfish allergy can safely take glucosamine products.

A permeable or ?leaky? mucosal lining of the gut is created when the tight junctions between individual epithelial cells (ecterocytes and colonocytes) become disengaged. This can be caused by use of antibiotics, gastrointestinal infections, poor diet or toxin overload. It is also an integral part of many gastrointestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome.
The presence of a permeable mucosal barrier allows antigens, toxins, allergens and living microorganisms potential access to the systemic immune system and thereafter to distant organs and tissues throughout the body.
Permeability Complex is essential to the nutritional therapy of any individual whose symptoms originate or are concentrated in the gastrointestinal tract or liver. Also Permeability Complex is clearly an essential component in any detoxification program.
Permeability Complex l should be used for a minimum of 60 days after which the maintenance level of intestinal conditioning nutrients found in Permeability Complex ll can be used.

Permeability Complex

Reviewed by Katie from Oakland, CA.
I have a cat with IBS, and we''re doing everything we can to reduce the inflammation in his lower intestine. He''s had diarrhea since he was a kitten. It appears to be some kind of environmental stress and/or allergic reaction, but we don''t know what''s causing it. This product does appear to be helping, but in all honesty we don''t know what causes it nor what allows it to subside, when it does. He takes this in a liquid suspension along with several other supplements including Tegricel colostrum and the HLC Synbiotic Intensive. And we just keep our fingers crossed.
