Jell-O: The Powdered Ingredient Can Have A Positive Impact On Your Joints, Hair, And Skin

Gelatin is a seemingly innocuous ingredient you are probably most familiar with in your favorite, jiggly dessert: Jell-O. This animal protein (consisting of collagen) is actually used in a lot of products, from makeup to gummy bears. But this versatile ingredient offers a lot more benefits than just keeping your favorite treat gelled, according to Healthy and Natural World.

Some researchers believe that the collagen properties of this common ingredient offer a variety of health benefits, particularly for patients with arthritis and other bone and joint problems.

2. Soothe Any Osteoporosis Symptoms

The American Academy of Family Physicians in Dallas had done a study and discovered that gelatin could provide some much-needed relief for knee osteoporosis symptoms, which can be quite painful.

3. Helps with Digestion

Gelatin contains helpful amino acids which line your stomach, thus aiding in digestion and reducing any inflammation.

Also, here’s a helpful tip: if you find yourself bothering with regular issues concerning digestion try and chew on some homemade gelatin gummies or sipping on some bone broth after a meal.

4. Heals Any Stomach Ulcers

Innovations Report had published a 2006 article on certain study findings in which they claimed that gelatin could help speed up the healing process of those bothersome stomach ulcers.
