Our gut is home to over 100 trillion cells. This is what’s called the microbiome; a living community of bacteria. Some bacteria are healthy and some can be harmful. Through a balanced and diverse diet of whole unprocessed foods, and by making sure we’re getting all the nutrients we need, we can help our good bacteria thrive. That’s where bone broth comes in. Bone broth is packed with collagen. Collagen plays an important role in rebuilding and strengthening the lining of our digestive tract and gut lining, helping to reduce inflammation. Glutamine is a crucial amino acid found in collagen, which the body needs to support the gut lining. Amino acids, glycine and proline have been shown to help improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and also help nourish our ‘good’ gut bacteria.
