Improving your Gut Health

October 6, 2019 by Asha Hudson

DIGESTIVITAL

HOW IS YOUR GUT HEALTH?

Do you have issues with your gut health? At last, we are starting to talk about this problem with the rise in gut issues that so many people seem to suffer from.

For example:

  • Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth – this can result from:
  • Conditions that affect stomach acid, which usually kills bacteria
  • “Movement” issues in the small intestine which can also cause
  • Crohn’s Disease – inflammation of the digestive tract
  • Leaky Gut Syndrome – where the small intestine’s lining has become damaged thus allowing toxins, bacteria and undigested food particles to enter the bloodstream
  • Do you eat a lot of meat?
  • Are you prone to diabetes?

WHY GELATIN MAY HELP.

Gelatin may be able to help you in several ways:

  • Its water absorption properties help to retain fluid in the digestive system helping to push food through and assist with healthy bowel movements
  • Gelatin contains Glycine which helps maintain optimal levels of acidity in the gut and aids in the breakdown of fatty foods. Research suggests Glycine may also help reduce liver inflammation caused by excess alcohol consumption but more studies are needed.
  • With maintaining a healthy mucosal lining in the stomach
  • With maintaining adequate digestive enzymes by stimulating gastric juices (which may also help prevent reflux)
  • Glycine acts on inflammatory cells to suppress inflammation and formation of free radicals
  • Glycine may improve blood sugar control in Type 2 diabetes; according to (A. Guerard, Ann Hygiene 36,5 1871; H Brat, Deut. Med. Wochenschrift 28 (no 2),21 1902), “Gelatin has been used successfully to treat diabetes for over 100 years”.
  • Gelatin is a low-calorie protein so may assist with weight loss by helping to keep you feeling full and boost metabolism

DIGESTIVITAL FOR GUT HEALTH

  • Digestivital from Healthy and Agile is 100% Australian produced A Grade Gelatin
  • Digestivital contains the amino acids which aid digestion and are essential for good gut health
  • Digestivital taken with a large muscle meat meal is helpful to balance the amino acids before they enter the bloodstream as they (the amino acids) are the same as if produced by the body under extreme stress.
  • Digestivital is collagen which is necessary for our entire body
  • Digestivital is easy to take – dissolve it in anything hot
  • Digestivital is the best value for money available – if you find it cheaper let us know

Inflammation and degeneration in the body cause disease. Gelatin’s amino acid ratio is ideal to help suppress many of the issues associated with aging caused by other amino acids and a 21st-century lifestyle.
