Citrus Gut Gummies

Citrus Gut Gummies

The benefits of these gummies are they are made on gelatin. Gelatin, contains amino acids, in fact, the same amino acids as collagen just with a different chemical structure.

Gelatin contains proline, glycine and glutamine, to name a few. These amino acids are beneficial for collagen production, tissue and cartilage repair, healthy gut lining and can also help with sleep quality.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 8 tbsp grass-fed gelatin

Instructions

  • Place juice in a saucepan and gently heat on low heat
  • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon at a time onto the juice as it is heating
  • Stir until gelatin has completely dissolved
  • Pour into a silicone ice cube tray
  • Place in freezer until set
  • Once they are set they can be stored in the refrigerator

Notes

  • Use grass-fed gelatin i.e Changing Habits or NutraOrganics
  • I found using NutraOrganics I needed to add more gelatin for my desired texture
  • Eat 1-2 per day
  • Must be stored in the fridge or they will melt

    These are so good – I enjoy them if I feel like some sort of lolly – funny though as they have no sugar in them and yet they satisfy.

Antibiotics are sometimes necessary (I’ve just b Antibiotics are sometimes necessary (I’ve just been on a course after emergency dental surgery 😩), but they don’t act in isolation.
They reduce microbial diversity, disrupt beneficial species, and can impact things like short-chain fatty acid production which plays a big role in gut barrier/lining, immune function and inflammation regulation.

This is why some common symptoms like diarrhoea, bloating, or changes in digestion occur while taking them and can still happen when they are finished. Even without symptoms there can be changes in the microbiome.

I always say it is an absolutely necessity, do not take antibiotics if not 100% necessary and always finish the course when you do have them. 

What I recommend to support you gut:

💊 Saccharomyces boulardii to reduce antibiotic-associated diarrhoea + ensure probiotics are taken at least 2hrs away from antibiotics.
🦠 Feed the beneficial microbes with a fibre like PHGG + polyphenol-rich foods
🫐Use targeted multi-strain probiotics during/after antibiotic use + increasing plant diversity
🥑Include nutrients to support the gut lining (glutamine, zinc carnosine, vitamins A + D, anti-inflammatory support)

It doesn’t need to be excessive but offering your gut no support while using antibiotics will lead to longer term gut issues.The microbiome is resilient, but it does need support.

If your gut tends to struggle after antibiotics, or symptoms linger longer than they should, that’s usually a sign you need a more personalised approach.

Feel free to reach out if you want support with that 💚

RED-S can affect recovery, hormones, bone health, performance and mood, and it is more common in active people than many realise.

This is not just about eating more. It is about making sure your intake matches your training and your physiology.
