Have you ever looked at the ingredients on the back of a box of fruit snacks or gummies? They usually have ingredients that are not great for digestion. These “good gut” gummies are made with gelatin, which is great for healing your gut as it helps restore a healthy mucosal lining in the stomach and reduce the amount of inflammation in the body. It’s also a pure source of protein and boosts metabolism and reduces heartburn and acid reflux.
