Gelatin used to be a big part of healthy traditional diets but people today don’t have a clue about what to do with it. All people know today about gelatin is Jello that is full of sugar, artificial colors, and genetically modified foods. Many people have heard about the healing powers of broth (learn how to make broth here) but they don’t know how to make it. Gelatin is basically dehydrated broth powder made up of bones, cartilage, collagen and minerals. It is a great source of amino acids which support a healthy moods and proper muscle synthesis. It is important to get gelatin from the best grass fed or pastured animals to avoid hormones, pesticides and heavy metal contamination. You can find grass fed gelatin here
