Why is collagen great for your gut health?
When we think of collagen, most of us likely consider it to be a key factor in smooth, firm, plump and youthful skin.
While this is certainly true, collagen can also play an important role in building and maintaining healthy connective tissue throughout your digestive tract.
Here’s how collagen can improve your gut health:
- It soothes, repairs and strengthens the gut lining
- Regulates stomach acid secretion
- Helps to heal stomach ulcers
- Aids digestion and nutrient absorption
- Heals leaky gut
In my own experience, I’ve had so many friends that actually improved their health by assuming collagen powder or fresh bone broth (a natural source of collagen!) by introducing collagen in their daily nutrition.
Collagen healed me too! End of 2020 I suffered from severe side tummy pain, that didn’t enable me to do anything, move or even breathe properly. After many unclear and stressful visits and medications I was diagnosed with a principle of Chron’s Desease. That was the time I also started taking collagen powder on a more consistent basis. I can’t claim that collagen was the only reason that healed me (as pathologies are always related to stress and other circumstances as well) but since then I’ve never had any intestinal issues again.
Here’s to a long life and a healthy gut!
