A Multi-Mineral Intervention Improves Intestinal Permeability in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis: Results from a 90-Day Pilot Trial
Aquamin <sup>®</sup> supplementation for 90 days reduced intestinal permeability in ulcerative colitis patients, as measured by urinary mannitol excretion. The intervention was well tolerated, suggesting Aquamin <sup>®</sup> may be a safe, promising adjunct for enhancing gut barrier function in UC management.
