I’ve been making variations of gummies for etc past few months because they offer a really wholesome, gut healing snack into my girls diet. The recipe is also so simple that the kids can do most of it themselves and be involved in their food choices.

Choosing gelatin

Gelatin can be a great addition to add into your diet as a gut healing food. Gelatin is made up of three amino acids that support the healing of the gut, in particular the cell junctions of the gut wall. This is especially helpful for ‘leaky gut’ or hyper permeability, which can be the underlying cause of many issues within the body but particularly allergies, intolerances, skin complaints and autoimmune disorders.

But which gelatine to choose?

While the supermarket may offer the cheapest alternative it is in your (and the planets) best interest to source gelatin that is organic, grass fed, grass finished and traceable. Ensure you read the label (look for 100% gelatine that is free from any other additives).

Here are a few good choices;

• GelPro Organic Porcine Gelatin
• Changing habits Organic Gelatin– you can use my code JADE10 via the Jivita store (which has loads of other great products)
• Nutraorganics Australian, grass fed gelatin– I like that this is sourced in Australia and has sustainable packaging too. Use my code JADE10 for an extra discount at checkout on the part and parcel store.
