When we think about gut health, we often focus on fibre, probiotics, or cutting out certain foods. But protein is just as important, and often overlooked.
Your gut lining is made up of cells that need constant repair and renewal. Protein provides the building blocks (amino acids) to keep that lining strong and functioning well. When your gut lining is healthy, you're less likely to experience symptoms like bloating, food sensitivities, or poor nutrient absorption.
Latest research highlights that:
- A well-balanced protein intake supports the production of key gut-repairing compounds, like glutamine and collagen.
- Specific amino acids (like threonine and glycine) help maintain the mucus layer that protects your intestinal lining.
- Low protein intake has been linked with increased intestinal permeability, also known as "leaky gut."
But here's the catch: not all protein sources are gut-friendly.
Some powders and bars are packed with artificial sweeteners, gums, dairy, soy, or gluten, all of which can trigger gut symptoms in sensitive individuals.
That's where Crayv Protein Powder comes in.
Crayv is gut-friendly and allergen-free, making it a great option for people who:
- Are sensitive to dairy, soy, gluten, or FODMAPs
- Experience bloating or digestive issues from other powders
- Want to support gut healing while still meeting their protein needs
Whether you're blending it into a smoothie, stirring it into oats, or baking with it, Crayv helps you get high-quality, clean protein without the nasties.
Bottom line: If you’re on a gut healing journey, don’t overlook protein. Aim for a source that supports your body, not stresses it. Crayv is a simple way to meet your needs (plus a well balanced whole food diet) no bloating, no guessing.
