The gut healing trio to restore balance on a cellular level:
Raw milk
Raw milk is a living food. unpasteurised and unhomogenised, it contains naturally occurring probiotics (like lactobacillus), immunoglobulins, lipase, lactoferrin, and a full spectrum of enzymes that aid in nutrient absorption and immune modulation.
Colostrum
Nature's first food, floods the body with growth factors like IGF-1 and TGF-β, which have been shown to stimulate intestinal cell regeneration and reduce gut permeability (aka "leaky gut"). It also delivers immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA) that help balance immune response and protect against pathogens, acting as a form of passive immunity while strengthening the gut lining.
Bovine collagen
Specifically type I and III collagen found in bovine sources provide structural proteins necessary for rebuilding the gut epithelium. Glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, abundant in collagen, support tight junction repair, reduce systemic inflammation, and fuel the production of glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant.
And lately we've been pairing this trio with a creamy matcha:
The gentle lift of l-theanine with its antioxidant richness that complements gut repair by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. It also helps regulate cortisol, which is crucial for gut healing given the tight relationship between the HPA axis and the enteric nervous system.
