Zonulin
ABOUT THIS TESTĀ
Zonulin is a marker linked to gut barrier function (sometimes referred to as “leaky gut” patterns).
It can help guide gut repair strategies when symptoms suggest gut sensitivity, inflammation, or
permeability issues.
Zonulin is best understood alongside symptoms and other gut markers.
This is especially helpful for people who don’t get enough sunlight, feel tired often, or want extra
immune support throughout the year.
