There are a few things you can do to help improve your gut health and incorporate collagen into your daily routine.

One of the easiest ways, is via supplementary form, such as Aguulp for gut which contains collagen – but more on that later…

1. Dietary changes

One way to help improve your gut health and incorporate collagen is by making dietary changes.

What foods contain collagen?

• tough cuts of meat (e.g. beef brisket) – however, a high intake of red meat is not recommended in the long-term.
• gelatin – boiling animal bones (and the subsequent break-down of tissues) produces collagen and gelatin.
• bonebroth – again, simmering animal bones in water and vinegar for long periods helps to produce collagen (home made is best for high doses, rather than shop-bought).

What foods boost collagen production?

• high protein foods (e.g. fish, poultry, eggs, dairy, meat, legumes & soy) – as they contain amino acids that make the collagen
• foods high in zinc (e.g. shellfish, meat, nuts & whole grains)

Our unique Aguulp for Gut supplement is a liquid liposomal supplement that delivers up to 98% absorption.

It contains 3,000mg of Hydrolysed Marine Collagen (fish) per daily dose, as well as other gut-friendly ingredients like FOS, GOS, Inulin, L-glutamine, L-Lysine, Selenium, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, and Zinc Gluconate.

Not only is marine collagen beneficial for the skin, it is also a great way to support overall digestive health and function. The hydrolysed marine collagen in Aguulp for Gut is a good source of proline, glutamine, and glycine—amino acids that help to protect and strengthen the intestinal barrier.

In addition to its health benefits, marine collagen is also a more sustainable choice compared to other forms of collagen. Marine fisheries have lower carbon emissions than conventional red meat production, and the fish skins used to make marine collagen are considered by-products of the food industry.

Why is Aguulp liquid?

Liposomal technology is a method of encapsulating the ingredients in a phospholipid membrane, this way the ingredients are protected from being broken down by stomach acid and can reach the gut undamaged. Read more about the science here.
