Leaky Gut Syndrome

What is Leaky Gut Syndrome

Leaky Gut Syndrome is the deterioration or breakdown of your intestinal wall. When this occurs microscopic holes appear in either your large or small intestine, which allows intestinal bacteria, parasites, worms and their bi-products as well as allergens, undigested food particles, poisons, toxins and in severe cases faeces to pass into your bloodstream. These unwanted particles, once entered into your system, can cause or contribute to a myriad of health problems. [read more]

Food Allergies - A Common Cause Of Poor Health?

Allergies are a growing concern and are becoming more common in our society. An allergy occurs when your body comes into contact with a substance that it is incompatible with.

It is the deterioration or breakdown of your intestinal wall, in particular the tight junctions that hold your intestinal cells together.

Is Pyrrole Disorder Causing You to Suffer?

Pyrrole Disorder can best be described as the abnormal synthesis and metabolism of the oxygen carrying molecule in your blood, called haemoglobin. All cells in your body produce waste or by-products and the by-product of haemoglobin is a metabolite called hydroxyhemopyrrolin-2-one (HPL) also known as Pyrrole. This metabolite was originally thought to be a Kryptopyrrole but further studies have proven this not the case.

Understanding Pyroluria and What Causes It

Pyroluria can best be described as the abnormal synthesis and metabolism of the oxygen carrying molecule haemoglobin. Pyroluria Sufferers produce excessive amounts of hydroxyhemopyrrolin-2-one, which binds to, inhibits absorption and increase urinary excretion of Zinc, Vitamin B6 and Biotin
