Homemade Gut Friendly Chicken Broth

Our Gut Health Nutritionist Jess, has formulated an easy chicken broth recipe that will be suited for anyone with any gut issues. Homemade broth is packed full of a protein called gelatin, made from dissolved collagen. Collagen is found in connective tissue. It’s also rich in the amino acids like glycine and proline. Glycine is an important neurotransmitter that has anti-inflammatory properties and supports the immune system. Proline, along with other key nutrients like vitamin C, helps to support healthy joint health and collagen production. It’s rich in glucosamine and chondroitin, two nutrients that help support joint health.
