Product Information

Gelatin or gelatine (from Latin: gelatus 'stiff' or 'frozen') is a translucent, colorless, flavorless food ingredient, commonly derived from collagen taken from animal body parts. It is brittle when dry and rubbery when moist. It may also be referred to as hydrolyzed collagen, collagen hydrolysate, gelatine hydrolysate, hydrolyzed gelatine, and collagen peptides after it has undergone hydrolysis. It is commonly used as a gelling agent in food, beverages, medications, drug or vitamin capsules, photographic films, papers, and cosmetics. Substances containing gelatin or functioning in a similar way are called gelatinous substances. Gelatin is an irreversibly hydrolyzed form of collagen, wherein the hydrolysis reduces protein fibrils into smaller peptides; depending on the physical and chemical methods of denaturation, the molecular weight of the peptides falls within a broad range. Gelatin is present in gelatin desserts, most gummy candy and marshmallows, ice creams, dips, and yogurts. [1] Gelatin for cooking comes as powder, granules, and sheets. Instant types can be added to the food as they are; others must soak in water beforehand.

Collagen and gelatin are widely used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, mostly due to their beneficial effects on skin and joint health ( 9). May help reduce signs of skin aging The worldwide demand of gelatin was about 620,000 tonnes (1.4 × 10 In contrast, as a degraded form of collagen, gelatin has undergone partial hydrolyzation or breakage — meaning that it’s comprised of shorter amino acid chains ( 2). Gelatins have diverse melting points and gelation temperatures, depending on the source. For example, gelatin derived from fish has a lower melting and gelation point than gelatin derived from beef or pork. [9] Composition [ edit ] MMRVaxPro - one of the MMR vaccines. Priorix, the other MMR vaccine used in the UK, can be given as an alternative.This makes gelatin easier to digest than pure collagen. However, collagen supplements are mostly made of a completely hydrolyzed form of collagen called collagen peptides, and these are easier to digest than gelatin. Supplementing with collagen and gelatin may help treat exercise-induced joint wear and osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease that can cause pain and disability. Studies show that the intake of collagen and collagen peptides — a degraded form of collagen — may boost skin collagen production and provide anti-aging effects ( 4, 10, 11, 12). There are so many different ways to use Vital Proteins Beef Gelatin, whether it’s to boost your morning or evening routine, or in one of your favourite recipes.

More information can be found in the NHS leaflet 'Vaccines and porcine gelatine' . This information is also available in Arabic , Bengali and Urdu . Zostavax – one of the shingles vaccine. Shingrix is the standard shingles vaccine in the UK and does not contain gelatine. Improved bone health. Supplementing with degraded collagen, such as gelatin, may increase bone mineral density and bone formation while reducing bone degradation ( 24).In 2011, the European Food Safety Authority Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies concluded that "a cause and effect relationship has not been established between the consumption of collagen hydrolysate and maintenance of joints". [13] Safety concerns [ edit ] Also, collagen peptides dissolve in both hot and cold water. In contrast, most forms of gelatin only dissolve in hot water. In 1997, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), with support from the TSE ( transmissible spongiform encephalopathy) Advisory Committee, began monitoring the potential risk of transmitting animal diseases, especially bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as mad cow disease. [14] An FDA study from that year stated: "... steps such as heat, alkaline treatment, and filtration could be effective in reducing the level of contaminating TSE agents; however, scientific evidence is insufficient at this time to demonstrate that these treatments would effectively remove the BSE infectious agent if present in the source material." [15] On 18 March 2016, the FDA finalized three previously issued interim final rules designed to further reduce the potential risk of BSE in human food. [16] The final rule clarified that "gelatin is not considered a prohibited cattle material if it is manufactured using the customary industry processes specified." [17] Lastly, a 6-month study in 105 women found that a daily dose of 2.5 grams of collagen peptides significantly improved skin appearance by reducing cellulite, although more research is needed to confirm this effect ( 17). May improve joint health

Collagen and gelatin may improve signs of skin aging, such as dryness, scaling, and a loss of elasticity that results from a reduction in your skin’s collagen content ( 10). Similarly, in a 24-week study in 94 athletes, those taking a 10-gram collagen supplement daily showed significant improvements in joint pain, mobility, and inflammation, compared with those in a control group ( 21). Other potential benefits Add a scoop of Vital Proteins Beef Gelatin to your morning coffee for a drink that would make your local barista jealous. Whether you take your coffee with cream, dairy-free milk or by itself, mixing in Beef Gelatin with a blender or frother makes for a wonderful foamy treat that will have you skipping the lines at your local coffee shop. 2. Use Beef Gelatin in a Bedtime Drink Improved gut health. Collagen and gelatin may improve the gut’s lining. Damage to the gut lining can otherwise lead to leaky gut syndrome and other autoimmune conditions ( 22, 23).After a long day when you’re looking to wind down, stir Beef Gelatin into a cup of tea or a cup of hot water with lemon before bed. Antioxidant activity. Both collagen and gelatin possess antioxidant capacities and fight the negative effects that free radicals can have on aging and overall health ( 9). Orally ingested collagen and gelatin both have high bioavailability, meaning that they’re efficiently absorbed by your digestive system ( 9).
