            Based on 2 studies with 100 participants, there is limited but promising evidence that Zinc Carnosine may support Increased Intestinal Permeability (Leaky Gut) management. Our evidence grade is C (Some Evidence).
        

    

    
    

        
            How much Zinc Carnosine should I take for Increased Intestinal Permeability (Leaky Gut)?
            
        
        

            Studies have used various dosages. A commonly studied range is 75 mg twice daily (as zinc carnosine complex). Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any supplement regimen.
        

    

    
    

        
            Are there side effects of Zinc Carnosine?
            
        
        

            Reported side effects may include Nausea (most common, usually transient), Metallic taste, Copper depletion with long-term high-dose use (>40 mg elemental zinc/day), Headache. Most side effects are mild and dose-dependent. Consult your doctor if you experience any adverse reactions.
        

    

    
    

        
            How strong is the evidence for Zinc Carnosine and Increased Intestinal Permeability (Leaky Gut)?
            
        
        

            We rate the evidence as Grade C (Some Evidence). This rating is based on 2 peer-reviewed studies with 100 total participants. The overall direction of effect is positive.
