As the protective interface between our exogenous and endogenous environments, the intestinal mucosal epithelium is a dynamic and interactive barrier that regulates digestion, absorption, neuroendocrinological communication and immune homeostasis.2-4 Comprised of a single layer of cells connected by intercellular protein-based structures called tight junctions, the health and function of the intestinal mucosal epithelium significantly affects gastrointestinal and systemic health.
Conversely, the structural and functional integrity of the intestinal mucosal epithelial barrier is influenced by many factors it is frequently exposed to including Western-type dietary patterns, alcohol, smoking, prolonged strenuous exercise, medications, stress (physical, psychological), inflammation, elevated glucose levels and microbiome dysbiosis. This can lead to clinical symptoms, dysfunction and disorders including abdominal bloating and discomfort, altered motility, inflammation, impaired immune tolerance and suboptimal nutritional status (vitamins A, D, K, carotenoids, folate, iron, zinc and selenium).
