There are many uses of gelatin powder especially in the kitchen. Gelatin can be used as a thickening agent for soups and sauces, both sweet and savory varieties without adding additional flavor.
Gelatin is a more absorbable form of collagen peptides with many health benefits. As a type of protein derived from collagen, gelatin provides amino acids that help to build cartilage and connective tissues to promote joint flexibility. Gelatin supports digestive health by absorbing water, which helps to reduce bloating and move foods through the GI tract. Additionally, gelatin helps to protect the mucosal lining of the stomach. As a skin enhancer, gelatin helps in skin cell renewal and UV light protection. Consuming gelatin also helps to stimulate collagen production, a necessity for healthy skin, hair, and nails.*

Q: Is gelatin different from collagen powder?
A: Gelatin and collagen have very similar nutrient profiles, but they differ in chemical properties. Additional processing is required for nutritional and cosmetic collagen (labeled as hydrolyzed collagen or collagen peptides) and yields a smaller particle size that may be easier to digest than larger gelatin particles. Gelatin only dissolves in hot water and caused liquids to gel, which makes it great for as a thickening agent. Collagen dissolves unnoticeably in both hot and cold water.
