🦠 LARAZOTIDE
Peptides for Long-COVID? — Leaky Gut & Spike Protein Persistence
One ongoing theory about long COVID is that viral reservoirs and spike protein may persist in the gut, then leak into circulation because of increased intestinal permeability.
Along these lines, the specific peptide larazotide is being explored for long COVID at Harvard and elsewhere.
The idea is that by improving tight junction function and reducing "leaky gut," larazotide may help prevent spike protein and other viral antigens from escaping into the bloodstream and perpetuating inflammation.
