2. Gut Healing
When the junctions between the intestines are damaged, it can cause a leaky gut. These junctions allow nutrients to enter your body through the openings of the intestinal cells. These junctions prevent harmful bacteria and other toxins, as well as undigested food particles from entering the system. The junctions can remain open when the gut is unhealthy. It is possible that these unwanted toxins can leak out into other parts of the body, causing a variety of health problems. Collagen, which contains glutamine, can help prevent this.
Glutamine, an amino acid, helps to rebuild damaged intestinal junctions. This will restore the health and tone down the inflammation in the gut. Collagen also helps the body to retain liquids and absorb water. This will increase the intestinal transit time, or the time it takes for food to leave the body.
