It has been studied for its ability to promote faster healing of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and even gut lining, making it popular among athletes and those recovering from injuries or chronic inflammation
Its properties make it a widely used material in scientific research involving tissue dynamics, extracellular matrix behavior, and cellular repair mechanisms
Emerging research links this to anxiety, depression, and even schizophrenia, where dysbiosis correlates with reduced short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate, which normally calm neural inflammation
