What Is Grass Fed Gelatin? What Are its Health Benefits?

by Kriben Govender Health Advisor
Gelatin is a colorless, tasteless, breakable and translucent material made from the collagen present in the animal bones, and is commonly used for gelling purposes in foods, medicines, photography etc. Now, the words ‘grass fed gelatin’ refers to the gelatin generated from the collagen of the bones of grass feeding animals or cattle, for example: cow, buffalo, goats, sheep etc. Traditionally, gelatin used to be a part of the traditional diets. However, many people seem to be ignorant of where or how to use gelatin. Gelatin is today, however; erroneously associated with the artificial, colored and sweet substance ‘Jello’.

Gelatin is dehydrated broth powder which is made up or generated from bones, cartilage, collagen and minerals. Homemade bone broth might be rich in gelatin. But since the bone must be cooked very slowly and people today hardly have the time, bone broth is the least cooked item. However, you can make it in a slow cooker which would be much less time-consuming. In case making bone-broth takes a bit of your time, you could most certainly go for alternative. Powdered gelatin is an alternative to bone broth which is highly precious with regards to human diet, especially if it is taken from healthy grass-fed animals (in the present case). Moreover, one must be very careful in procuring gelatin from the best cattle because, there might be impurities like hormones, pesticides as well as heavy metallic substances. Gelatin is a great source of amino acids, which affect moods, bones and skin. Following are the major benefits of Gelatin in terms of health:

  • Skin is the largest organ in the human body and is also something that is closely related to external appearance. Therefore, if anything happens on the skin, it does have an issue on the external appearance. Gelatin makes about 25 to 35 % of the aggregate content of protein present in human body. This protein content is important for tone, elasticity of skin and continual renewal of cells on the skin. Therefore what Gelatin does for the skin is that it builds up the connective tissues which are responsible for the elasticity as well as the strength and firmness of the same.
  •  Aging is basically a natural phenomenon . But in case it takes place prior to time, it could adversely affect both the confidence of the person suffering and also his/her health. By the twenties collagen starts depleting and by thirties, you need to replenish it in order to prevent aging. Therefore using skin cream rich in gelatin is important. Being rich in dietary collagen, gelatin prevents the aging process and makes the skin youthful.
  • Gelatin is also beneficial for building up of strong nails, teeth as well as hair. Gelatin being a rich source of calcium, magnesium as well as phosphorous helpd in the building up and strengthening of the aforementioned parts of the human body

There are plenty of other benefits of using Gelatin. If you require “Pure 100% Hydrolyzed Grass Fed Gelatin Collagen”, do go for companies like Nourish Me Organics who have reputation of offering best quality products.
