Find out how MANC® in Toxaprevent repairs a Leaky Gut

The microbiome has become a topic of increasing importance and is now more relevant than ever, with a particular focus on the role of gut bacteria on both physical and mental health. When the connective tissue between epithelial tight junctions of the small intestine loosens, a knock-on effect can be felt throughout the body including a leaky brain due to the gut being linked to the brain by the Vagus nerve. The release of histamine in the small intestinal tract will act as first defence, whereby the wall of the small intestinal tract becomes inflamed. This inflammation acts as a barrier and reduces the amount of nutrition being absorbed by the body whilst the loosened tight junctions allow for the passage of unchecked food particles, pathogens and lipopolysaccharides which would otherwise be modulated by Zonulin and kept in the intestinal lumen. This is the beginning of a chain reaction. Toxaprevent contains the active, patented ingredient MANC®, a “clean” form of zeolite. It’s a negatively charged particle derived from volcanic ash, capable of binding to heavy metals, ammonium and more importantly for leaky gut syndrome, histamine! The size of the particle is optimised to ensure it isn’t absorbed by the body and remains only in the digestive tract, allowing it to capture and eliminate substances in enterohepatic circulation that contribute to leaky gut consistently through reabsorption. Toxaprevent Medi ACUTE Capsules by-pass the stomach and release the active ingredient in the small intestine. Here, MANC® is able to bind to histamine in the wall of the small intestine, thereby reducing inflammation. This gives the epithelial tight junctions a chance to repair themselves and strengthens the integrity of the small intestinal wall. Studies have confirmed this result after showing reduced zonulin levels in leaky gut patients after 3 months of taking MANC®. Anti inflammatory short chain fatty acids and good gut bacteria (enhanced by Toxaprevent) transform resistant starch into butyric acid which also repairs the leaky gut and the and acts as a signalling molecule. In addition, the colostrum content in the ACUTE Capsules also help to bring the immune system back into balance while MANC® repairs the leaky gut. Once the leaky gut starts to heal, the knock-on effect on the body is lessened, and other supplements may be added to further healing. Toxaprevent can therefore be seen as a base to the therapy – heal the leaky gut first, and tackling other health issues can become a lot easier!
