How can collagen support gut health and the gut microbiome?Updated 22 days ago

Leaky gut is a term you'll hear more and more, referring to small gaps or breakages in your gut lining and gastrointestinal tract. When these gaps appear, food particles can pass into your bloodstream, which can lead to inflammation.

We now know a number of illnesses can stem directly from a leaky gut, with inflammation or irritation linked to the health of the gut itself.

Collagen may help support your gut health by providing a protective lining to the gastrointestinal tract. Studies have found that people with inflammatory bowel disease tend to have lower serum concentrations of collagen.

Because the amino acids in collagen build the tissue that lines the colon and GI tract, supplementing with collagen may help support gastrointestinal symptoms and conditions, including leaky gut syndrome, IBS, acid reflux, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
