Collagen and Gut Health: The Connection You Didn’t Know You Needed 💚
Share
Your gut might not be something you think about every day, but it quietly affects everything, from your energy levels and mood to your skin health, hormone balance, and immune system. It’s your body’s powerhouse of balance, and when it’s happy, you feel amazing.
At Vigor Vitamins, we believe true wellness starts from within, and that’s why we’re shining a light on one of the most underrated heroes of gut health and digestion: collagen 💚
Our UK-made collagen supplement, Vigor Collagen, is more than just a beauty booster. It’s a clean, powerful, and science-backed way to support your gut lining, digestive health, and overall wellbeing, especially when paired with Vigor Essential, our premium women’s multivitamin designed for hormone balance, energy, and glowing skin.
💚 How Collagen Supports Gut Health
When most people think of collagen, they think of glowing skin, stronger hair, and smoother joints. But collagen does so much more, it’s also a gut health hero.
Here’s how collagen supports your gut from the inside out 👇
1️⃣ It helps repair and strengthen your gut lining
Collagen contains key amino acids like glycine and glutamine, which help rebuild and strengthen your intestinal wall. This supports your gut barrier, reducing symptoms of bloating, sensitivity, and even leaky gut syndrome.
A strong gut lining means fewer toxins escaping into your bloodstream and better digestion overall, one of the biggest benefits of taking collagen for gut health.
2️⃣ It improves digestion and nutrient absorption
The amino acids in collagen also support your digestive tract, helping your body absorb more of the nutrients from your food (and your supplements). This makes collagen an ideal companion for your daily multivitamin, helping you get the most from every nutrient.
3️⃣ It helps reduce inflammation
Collagen has natural anti-inflammatory properties, which help to calm irritation in the gut. A healthier, less inflamed digestive system means better energy, clearer skin, and even a happier mood, because your gut and brain are more connected than you might think!
✨ What’s Inside Vigor Collagen
Our Vigor Collagen contains a premium blend of wild-caught marine collagen and grass-fed bovine collagen peptides. Together, they deliver Type I and Type III collagen, the two most important types for gut health, skin elasticity, and joint support.
It’s tasteless, odorless, and dissolves easily into hot or cold drinks — so you can mix it into your coffee, smoothies, soups, or oats without affecting the flavour or potency. You can’t “kill” collagen with heat, so feel free to cook or bake with it 👩🍳💗
💗 Pro tip: Pair your collagen with Vitamin C (found in our Vigor Essential multivitamin or a squeeze of lemon), it helps your body activate and absorb collagen more effectively.
🌿 How to Support Your Gut Every Day
Collagen is amazing for gut health, but it’s only one piece of the puzzle. Here are a few simple ways to keep your gut thriving naturally:
✨ Eat more fibre – think veggies, oats, flaxseed, chia, and legumes.
✨ Stay hydrated – water supports digestion and nutrient transport.
✨ Add fermented foods – kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, or live yoghurt are rich in probiotics.
✨ Manage stress – chronic stress can disrupt your gut microbiome.
✨ Get plenty of rest – your gut repairs itself while you sleep.
✨ Take your Vigor Essential daily – our 13 essential vitamins (plus inositol and choline) support digestion, hormones, and metabolism.
💌 Why Gut Health Matters
Your gut is often called your “second brain”, it produces nearly 90% of your serotonin, your body’s “happy hormone.” It’s also home to trillions of beneficial bacteria that help regulate your mood, immune system, and hormones.
When your gut is healthy, you’ll notice:
💚 Better digestion & less bloating
💚 More energy throughout the day
💚 Balanced hormones
💚 Clearer skin
💚 A calmer, happier mind
That’s why nurturing your gut isn’t just about digestion, it’s about your whole wellbeing.
