Homemade Gut-Supporting Marshmallows
These marshmallows are a wholesome, gut-friendly treat made with nutrient-rich sweeteners and grass-finished beef gelatin. Unlike store-bought marshmallows, these support gut health, thanks to gelatin's role in promoting gut lining integrity. They’re also great for bone health, cognitive function, skin, and nails!
