Benefits of Gelatin

Many people are adding gelatin into their diets for its benefits to the body. Others do not want to take a dietary substance without knowing why they take it. Gelatin is made from animal meat connective tissue and is very nutritious (its existence in chicken noodle soup naturally is one of the reasons it is so good for you when you are sick). 
Why use it?


  • It has been shown to speed up joint recovery and is used in treatment of osteoporosis. 
  • It can help to tighten loose skin (especially after childbirth). This has been implicated in decreasing cellulite. 
  • It increases the motility of the digestive tract and is great if you have stomach concerns or are recovering from a stomach virus. It can help attract water to the digestive tract and increase the movement and absorption.
  • It can help decrease food allergies because of the protection and mobilization of the intestines. (it has even been suggested to decreases asthma symptoms and seasonal allergies)
  • It is a great source of collagen. 
  • It helps with hair and nail growth (as a result of the increased intake of collagen).
  • Can improve sleep and rest. 
  • It may even help the liver to remove toxins by supplying it with glysine. 
How do you use it?

  • Gelatin can be added to smoothies, oatmeal, coffee (check out Bullet Proof Coffee on google for ideas on how to incorporate gelatin into your coffee). 
  • You can even make your own marshmallows, jello, or cakes with the gelatin.
What kind should you use?

  • Avoid the kind that is in multivitamins and supplements with all kinds of chemicals and sugars. Those decrease the effectiveness of the gelatin. Look for gelatin with no other ingredients and made of grass-fed beef.
