What is the connection between gummies and gut health? Let's start with the basics. In order to make gummies, you need gelatin to act as a thickening agent, and Amandean's grass-fed, unflavored gelatin is made from the prolonged boiling of connective tissues from grass-fed cows.
The result is a broth that, during the process, will evaporate, leaving a solid gelatinous layer. Of course, you could drink the broth, but we bet you'd rather indulge in some delicious homemade gummy snacks. In this recipe, we're also infusing the gelatin gummies with the healing effects of CBD oil.
This powerful compound with no psychoactive effects has several potent anti-inflammatory properties that, amongst others, can help to manage certain conditions that originate in the gut and digestive system, such as inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and even obesity.
To the surprise of many, our brains actually naturally produce cannabis-like chemicals. These receptors belong to the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which maintains balance in our body (homeostasis).
In other words, ECS is responsible for maintaining a stable internal environment despite changes happening in the external environment, which could be caused by a poor diet or health issues. In these terms, hemp oil helps to manage both pain and inflammation in the so-called âsecond brainâ by affecting specific receptors.
Beef gelatinpowder, on the other hand, helps repair any damaged areas of the stomach, reduces inflammation, and boosts the amount of gastric acid produced in the stomach. As a nutritional duo, a CBD oil & gelatin combo can do wonders for your gut!
And who would have thought that cardamom, despite being a spice, helps relieve acidity and treat gastrointestinal issues?
To determine your dose of CBD oil, you should calculate based on the oil's concentration, your weight, and the severity of your condition. We always recommend that you consult your medical doctor or dietitian if you have any uncertainties.
