Glutamine
Fuel for Intestinal Cells: Glutamine is a primary energy source for enterocytes, the cells lining the small intestine. This helps them function properly and maintain the gut barrier.
Supports Gut Cell Proliferation: It plays a role in the growth and repair of the cells lining the intestine, aiding in the healing process.
Reduces Inflammation: Glutamine can help modulate the inflammatory response in the gut, which is often elevated in leaky gut syndrome.
Marshmallow Root
Marshmallow root contains polysaccharides that can act as prebiotics, feeding beneficial bacteria in the gut.
Leaky gut is often associated with chronic inflammation in the gut. Marshmallow root possesses anti-inflammatory properties that may help to calm this inflammation. Marshmallow root may help to support and enhance this mucus layer, further protecting the intestinal lining and preventing the “leakiness” associated with the syndrome. By reducing inflammation, it can contribute to the healing of the intestinal lining and the restoration of its proper barrier function.
Slippery Elm
Forms a Protective Coating – Similar to marshmallow root, slippery elm bark is rich in mucilage, a gel-like fiber that swells when mixed with water. This creates a soothing and protective coating over the irritated mucous membranes of the digestive tract, including the lining of the intestines. This barrier can shield the gut lining from further damage and irritants.
Provides Prebiotic Effects – Slippery elm contains polysaccharides that can act as prebiotics, feeding beneficial gut bacteria. A balanced gut microbiome is important for overall gut health and can contribute to the healing of leaky gut.
NMN
Supports Intestinal Cell Health: NMN is a precursor to NAD+, a crucial coenzyme involved in cellular metabolism and energy production. By boosting NAD+ levels, NMN may support the energy needs of intestinal cells, aiding in their repair and function.
Reduces Intestinal Permeability: By strengthening tight junctions and improving the overall structure of the intestinal wall, NMN has been shown to reduce the passage of harmful molecules from the gut into the bloodstream with people suffering with gut dysfunction and aging.
Reverses Age-Related Intestinal Dysfunction: Studies in older mice have shown that NMN can restore the structure of the intestinal wall, suggesting improved nutrient absorption and reduced gut permeability associated with aging.
MSM
Antioxidant Effects: MSM is known to have antioxidant properties and can help increase the levels of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant produced by the body. Glutathione is essential for protecting cells from damage, including the cells lining the gut, and supports the immune system within the gut. Reducing oxidative stress in the gut can contribute to a healthier gut barrier.
Supports Tight Junction Integrity: Some research suggests that MSM may help to rebuild the lining of the digestive tract and could reduce the permeability associated with leaky gut. This is thought to be due to the action of sulfur, a key component of MSM, which is important for the structural integrity of the gut lining
Aloe Vera & Liquorice
Soothing and Anti-inflammatory: Both Aloe vera & Liquorice are well-known for their soothing properties. They contains compounds that may help reduce inflammation in the gut lining, which is a key factor in leaky gut.
Aids Digestion and Nutrient Absorption: By promoting a healthy balance of gut bacteria and soothing the digestive tract, aloe vera & Liquorice may improve overall digestion and nutrient absorption.
Antioxidant Properties: Aloe vera contains various antioxidants, including vitamins A, C, and E. These can help combat oxidative stress in the gut, which can contribute to inflammation and damage to the intestinal lining.
Ginger & Digestive Enzymes to aid digestion and elimination of toxins.
Grass Fed Bovine Collagen Type 1 & 3
SCIN’s Collagen
Our expertly formulated blend has quickly grown to become one of the UK’s leading collagen supplements. With a massive 9000mg of Grass Fed Collagen per serving you will be getting a therapeutic enough dose to feel a real benefit.

Tremella is a natural moisturiser as the polysaccharides in the mushroom form a flexible film on the skin. This film helps to lock in moisture, smooth the skin’s appearance and increases elastin production.
Probiotics can help create a balanced microbiome which can reduce symptoms with inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, acne and rosacea.
Cacao boosts skin health by improving skin density and hydration, the flavonoids in cacao help to neutralise free radicals caused by UV exposure, reducing their harmful effects on the skin.
Coconut water powder contains lauric acid which can fight skin infections, it also aids cell growth and smooth fine lines.
