How are Leaky Gut Test and Fruchtbarkeit related?

The relationship between a Leaky Gut Test and fertility is not well-established scientifically. A Leaky Gut Test measures markers of intestinal permeability (e.g., zonulin), while fertility tests assess hormones, sperm quality, or genetic factors. Some mechanistic hypotheses suggest that increased gut permeability may contribute to chronic inflammation or nutrient malabsorption (e.g., zinc, selenium, folate), potentially affecting fertility. However, the evidence is weak: most studies are small, mechanistic, or animal-based. MyBody-X offers both tests, but there is no validated clinical combination for fertility assessment. Results should not be used alone for fertility decisions. A healthcare provider or reproductive specialist can interpret findings in context. Evidence grade: unclear. Caveat: Do not self-diagnose or change treatment without professional guidance.
