I get little opportunities to discuss cool stuff with good doctors... I need to take them to lunch. I was working with a joint Surgeon last year and I could not get a good answer about Glucosamine and Chondroitin sulfate nutritional supplements. I think he hated the idea of taking those supplements. I talked with my dad and he mentioned that folks that eat oils, proteins and fat prior to nutritionists messing it all up 25 years ago... (don't eat fat exaggeration) We stopped eating Aspics and Gelatin. I don't have arthritis.. I have had a knee scoped and modified after years of bicycling. In years past, people got plenty of gelatin in their diets. Before the move towards processed foods, people consumed much more of an animal than just the muscle meats: chicken-foot soup as well as drumsticks, beef stew not just steaks. As a result, they got a whole-animal balance of amino acids, which provides better support for all sorts of biological processes.
So I did a little more research - I now mix a full packet of jello to directions and add half a packet of Knox Gelatine and I make absoultly sure it melts - dont drop it all in at one spot - it will clump and be useless - I add dried fruit of similar flavors and set. Then I have a couple of tea- to tablespoon size amounts each night before bed. This offers better joint health than the more expensive G &C
Health benefits of gelatin:
Gelatin is loaded with protein ~
With 6 grams of protein per tablespoon, it’s a great way to add more
protein to your diet. Even though it is not a complete protein, it
helps the body fully utilize the complete proteins that are taken in.
Gelatin improves digestion ~ It naturally binds to water and helps food move through the digestive tract more easily.
Gelatin can help heal food allergies and intolerance's ~
Adding gelatin to your diet can heal the lining of your stomach and
digestive tract. And since food allergies/intolerance's are thought to
come from a “leaky gut,”
the idea is that when you heal your digestive tract, you no longer have
proteins and toxins that create health issues “leaching” into your
body.
Gelatin is good for bone and joint health ~
Gelatin contains lots of amino acids important in helping to prevent
the weakness and degeneration of cartilage in joints. Gelatin, with
it’s anti-inflammatory properties, has also been shown to reduce the
pain and inflammation of arthritis.
Gelatin helps your body release toxins ~ Glycine, an amino acid found in gelatin, assists the liver to efficiently remove toxins from our system.
Gelatin gives you better hair, nails, and teeth ~ Gelatin contains keratin, which is a very strong protein found in your hair, nails, teeth and skin.
Gelatin improves the elasticity of your skin ~
Gelatin is essentially cooked down collagen. Consuming it will help
improve the look and feel of your skin much more effectively then hard-
to- absorb collagen facial creams. Gelatin actually stimulates your
body to produce more collagen.
Gelatin helps speed up wound healing ~ One of the amino acids found in gelatin is glycine, which is highly anti-inflammatory.
Gelatin can improve your quality of sleep ~ Clinical studies
have shown that not only do people sleep better when consuming the
amino acid glycine, they report less daytime drowsiness and better
cognitive function.
Gelatin can help with weight loss ~ Gelatin
is thought to increase the production of Human Growth Hormone and to
boost metabolism. And with it’s nutrient-dense content, it also helps
with satiety (keeps you full.)

Be wise enough to walk away from the nonsense around you!
