COLLAGEN FOR SKIN AND JOINTS

Many people suffer from joint pain, regardless of whether the cause is osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, an injury, gout, natural wear and tear over time, or other reasons.

There are well-known natural anti-inflammatory ingredients such as curcumin, honey, and devil’s claw that can help relieve pain. However, there is another, less popular food that can work wonders, animal gelatin!

Animal gelatin is made from the pure skin of cows and pigs. Gelatin belongs to the group of gelling agents. It can be used in cooking and baking to thicken liquid mixtures such as creams and sauces, and depending on the amount used, it can also produce firmer mixtures like fruit jellies.

Animal gelatin is derived from collagen. Collagen is an essential protein that makes up about 30% of the total body protein and more than 75% of the protein composing the skin.

It plays a significant role in the body's structure because it is responsible for the cohesion, elasticity, and regeneration of the skin, cartilage in joints, and bones.

? The recipe (drinkable collagen) is as follows:

Heat about 250 ml (one cup) of water to approximately 60°C–70°C (140°F–158°F). Then add 1 tablespoon of animal gelatin and stir well. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before drinking.

People who reported pain in their joints, back, legs, spine, neck, etc., noticed that their pain subsided after about a week.
