What is gelatine?
THREE GELATINE CHAINSGelatin is the gel derived from the protein collagen found inside animal and bones and cartilage. It is a protein, though not a complete protein. It lacks ‘essential’ amino acids like Tryptophan and Methionine, so you can’t survive on gelatine as your only protein source. However it is the main protein used by your body to make the cartilage that covers the bones in your joints. A prime subject for discussion at Chiropractic Help. Unhealthy cartilage = pain. Gelatine is a hydrolyzed form of collagen. What does that mean?
