Benefits of cricket flour for gut health
Incorporating cricket flour into your diet can lead to a healthier gut.

How Cricket Protein Powder Improves Your Health
Improves Intestinal Health
Cricket contains chitin, a powerful prebiotic fiber different from the dietary fiber found in fruits and vegetables, which constitutes the exoskeleton of arthropods such as insects and crustaceans.
Several studies have found that chitin is responsible for reducing inflammation and even reversing cases of irritable intestinal disease.
A healthy microbiota is associated with a stronger immune system, more energy, better mood, and better overall health.
Reduces Fatigue
Cricket flour contains more iron than beef. Iron assists in hemoglobin production which transports oxygen in the blood therefore it helps reduce fatigue resulting from a lack of hemoglobin.
Contributes to Brain Activity and Provides Energy
It contains 50 times more vitamin B12 than chicken and 7 times more than salmon. Vitamin B12 is necessary for converting food into energy and for the formation of red blood cells. Additionally, it is essential for the nervous system and brain to function properly.
Promotes Muscle Growth
Cricket is a great source of complete protein that exceeds the amount of protein found in beef, chicken, pork, and fish. It also contains 9 essential amino acids necessary for muscle growth and the entire metabolic process. These amino acids are called “essential” because the body doesn’t produce—they must be consumed through diet.
