Leaky Gut Syndrome and De Simone Formula® (DSF®)

Human gastrointestinal tract (GIT) has most significant load of antigens. Healthy intestinal barrier prevents toxic elements from entering blood stream. However, factors such as stress, an unhealthy diet, excessive alcohol consumption, usage of antibiotics and sedentary lifestyle can and do compromise the composition of intestinal microbiota leading to increased intestinal permeability. Intestinal hyperpermeability can allow the entry of harmful agents through the junctions of the intestinal epithelium, which pass into the bloodstream and affect various organs and systems.

Leaky gut syndrome and intestinal barrier dysfunction are associated with intestinal diseases, such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Irritable Bowel Syndrome, as well as extra-intestinal diseases, including heart diseases, obesity, type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and neurological diseases.

Given the relationship between intestinal permeability and numerous metabolic diseases, it is an excellent strategy to avoid or minimize intestinal permeability.

Our proprietary De Simone Formulation (DSF) – a unique blend of 8 carefully selected and extensively tested probiotics, together with good diet and lifestyle, is an intelligent approach to restore gut microbiome, maintain gut lining integrity and avoid leaky gut, thus minimizing various metabolic syndrome conditions.
