Hydrolysed collagen
A type of collagen that has been broken down into smaller peptides, maximising absorption.
Skin biome health: Collagen is a major component of the skin, and supplementing with hydrolyzed collagen may help to improve skin elasticity, hydration, and texture. Some studies have shown that hydrolyzed collagen supplementation can lead to a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines.
Gut biome health: Collagen is also an important component of the gut lining, and supplementing with hydrolyzed collagen may help to improve gut barrier function and reduce inflammation in the gut. This can potentially lead to improved digestive health and a more diverse gut microbiome.
Joint health: Hydrolyzed collagen may also be beneficial for joint health. Collagen is a major component of cartilage and other joint tissues, and supplementing with hydrolyzed collagen may help to improve joint pain and stiffness in people with osteoarthritis.
Sugarcane stem (sugar removed):
Sugarcane stem fiber is a prebiotic that can promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli. It can also improve stool consistency and increase fecal bulk.
Red Sorghum Flour:
Red sorghum stands out as a rich source of antioxidants and polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory and prebiotic properties. It is especially rich in anthocyanins, flavonoids and tannins. In addition to supporting the gut microbiome, these polyphenols improve blood sugar control, and lower the risk of cancer and heart disease.
Blackcurrant Skins:
Blackcurrant skins are a rich source of dietary fibre, which can have numerous benefits for digestive health. It supports the correct pH of the bowel (slightly acidic) by promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria that produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), such as butyrate. In addition to its fiber content, blackcurrant skins also contain other bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols, which have been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds may also contribute to the potential health benefits of blackcurrant skins on gut health.
What are short chain fatty acids?
SCFAs are produced when gut bacteria ferment dietary fiber in the large intestine, and they have been shown to have numerous health benefits, including reducing inflammation, improving gut barrier function, and promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. In addition, SCFAs can also help to lower the pH of the gut environment, making it more acidic.
The acidic environment of the gut can help to promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. This can help to maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria, which is important for overall digestive health.
