The Gut Barrier Panel measures your body’s immune response to certain proteins, which can help determine if you have a leaky gut or other gut dysfunction.

The Gut Barrier Panel is a comprehensive diagnostic test designed to assess intestinal permeability and gut health through multiple markers.

Key Components:

• Measures markers of intestinal barrier function
• Identifies potential “leaky gut” syndrome • Evaluates immune responses to key gut health indicators

Primary Markers:

• Zonulin: Measures intestinal permeability
• Candida: Detects potential gut dysbiosis
• Occludin: Assesses tight junction stability
• Lipopolysaccharides (LPS): Indicates potential bacterial inflammation

Unique Characteristics:

• Recognizes leaky gut as a spectrum, not a binary condition
• Uses multiple immune response measurements: • IgG 1-4 • C3d • IgA 1 and 2

Clinical Significance:
The test helps healthcare providers: • Identify gut dysfunction levels • Detect inflammation • Assess potential immune system challenges • Create targeted treatment protocols

Testing Methods: • Available as: • Fingerstick test • Blood spot test • Serum test Providers can use this panel to develop personalized gut healing strategies based on comprehensive, detailed results.
