The Critical Role of Sulfur for an Intact
Digestive Barrier and GI Motility

Pharmacy Webinar 58

with Kathleen Janel, ND

PW58: The Critical Role of Sulfur for an intact Digestive Barrier and GI Motility.


In this presentation, we will delve into the critical role of sulfur in maintaining healthy connective tissue and its importance in restoring gastrointestinal (GI) motility, particularly when utilized for GI repair.

Collagen fibers rely on disulfide bonds to form their characteristic triple-helix structure, essential for their strength and stability.

When collagen is processed into a supplement, it undergoes hydrolysis, a process that removes sulfur ions. To synthesize functional collagen from these hydrolyzed collagen peptides, the body requires sufficient sulfur. Sulfur not only stabilizes collagen but also plays a pivotal role in cellular collagen production.
