Measures zonulin, the protein that regulates the tight junctions between intestinal cells — the most direct available marker of intestinal permeability.
About this treatment
The cells lining the intestine are held together by tight junctions that decide what crosses from the gut into the bloodstream. Zonulin is the protein that opens those junctions, and its level is the most direct marker currently available for what is popularly called leaky gut. When permeability rises, partially digested food proteins and bacterial fragments cross into circulation, which is one plausible mechanism linking gut function to systemic…

Booking options & clinic offers
Nurse home visits are available across Bangkok for a 600 THB nursing fee and in 23 further provinces for 700–1,500 THB; home bookings start at 07:00. Free cancellation or rescheduling up to 24 hours before an appointment.
Preparation required
Follow the kit instructions for your sample type. Tell the clinic about recent antibiotics, NSAIDs or heavy alcohol use — all can raise permeability temporarily and change how the result should be read.
