Collagen is a mediator in the gut-skin relationship.

Collagen is a protein that is packed with the types of amino acids that our GI tract uses to repair and heal itself. Many skin conditions like acne, rosacea and eczema can appear when leaky gut occurs (when “bad for us” toxins caused by excess sugar, processed foods and environmental factors, cause the toxins to leak into the bloodstream).

By mending the damaged cells which comprise the gut lining, these amino acids regulate the gut microbiome and its permeability, thereby treating and preventing leaky gut syndrome.
