The intestinal barrier corresponds to the surface of the intestine in contact with the food bolus. It is both the exchange surface allowing the assimilation of nutrients and our body’s first line of defense against pathogenic microorganisms and undesirable macromolecules. Very fragile, this mucous membrane nevertheless plays a major role since any lack of sealing can be the cause of digestive disorders but also of infectious or inflammatory risks.
L -glutamine is the main energy substrate of the cells that make up this intestinal barrier and is essential for its integrity and proper functioning.
The intestinal flora associated with this mucosa also plays a major role. These beneficial microorganisms help to protect it from alterations and permeability.
In addition to the L-glutamine, microbiotics and gentle fibers presented in the category below, Nutrixeal also offers a product dedicated to mucosal health, containing sea buckthorn oil rich in omega 7, 9, 3 and 6.
