How does gelatin improve digestion?

First off, what is gelatin?

🧸Gelatin is a colorless, flavorless substance made from the collagen found in animal bones, skin and tissues. Gelatin is the cooked form of collagen. It makes up about half of the protein found in animals.

🧸Gelatin is loaded with three amino acids (glycine, proline and alanine) that have hydrophilic (hydrating), anti-inflammatory, healing properties.

🧸Because gelatin can attract and hold liquids, this allows it to draw in digestive juices, which help us break down the foods we eat.


🧸The more digestive juices present (mostly bile and stomach acid), the better our food is broken down, which allows for improved absorption.

⚠️NOT ALL GELATINS are made the same. The brand I recommend is Great Lakes. @greatlakesgelatin

🤓The product has been a subject of several clinical trials that have proved its effectiveness.

📖 Check out the book Gelatin in Nutrition and Medicine to learn more.

🧸MY FAV RECIPE!
•BLOOM Gelatin first by pouring 1/2 c pure juice into a bowl and stirring in 4 tbsp of gelatin and let sit for 5 min.

•While it’s doing it’s thing, warm up the other 1/2 c juice on a saucepan on the stove.
•As it gets steamy and just before boiling, turn off heat.
•Add in gelatin and stir well.
•Let cool before pouring into gummy molds or containers for jello.
