What is Zonulin, Stool?

This test measures zonulin levels directly in a stool sample. Stool zonulin provides a localized assessment of intestinal permeability, reflecting the integrity of the gut lining where zonulin is produced and released.

Why is this test important?

Elevated stool zonulin indicates increased gut permeability, which is linked to various gastrointestinal issues, inflammatory conditions, and autoimmune disorders. It's a valuable tool for evaluating gut barrier function.

How to Prepare

Collect a stool sample according to specific instructions provided by the lab. Avoid certain medications or supplements as advised by your healthcare provider.
