Brief summary
Gastrointestinal problems in the lower gastrointestinal tract can manifest as irritable bowel symptoms. The Broth & Co Beef Bone Broth Powder contains a nutrient rich mix of amino acids, minerals, collagen, glucosamine and chondroitin, which have been shown to be beneficial for the gastrointestinal system. In this pilot single-arm pre-post study of 12 weeks duration we aim to investigate the effect of the Broth&Co Beef Bone Broth Powder on gastrointestinal disturbances in Australian adults.
