Gelatin is good for the lining of your intestines and also helps with the production of gastric acid secretions. These are important for absorbing nutrients and for overall good digestion.

Good for Joints

Gelatin helps alleviate the symptoms of both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis. Both gelatin and collagen reduce inflammation, and this in turn reduces pain.

Better Sleep

The amino acid glycine, found in gelatin, has a similar effect on mood and thinking as anti-depressants do without any side effects.

Better Skin

Gelatin does a lot for the skin. It blocks damage from UV light, renews skin cells, protects against wrinkles and free radical damage and might even help prevent cancer.

Bone Strength

Nutrients in gelatin that are beneficial for bones include sulfur, silicon, magnesium, phosphorus and calcium. Gelatin also has amino acids that are important in collagen production. Over 30 percent of bone mass is collagen.
