Some facts of gelatin for skin tightening

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you talk about gelatin? For foodies, it should start with jelly. This refreshing dessert is popular with many people. Gelatin, meanwhile, is becoming known for its health benefits.

Gelatin is mainly by animal (usually cattle, pigs, sometimes fish) skin, bone, muscle membrane and other tissue collagen degradation, the appearance of white or light yellow translucent, shiny flakes or powder.

Gelatin is almost all protein and has a unique amino acid profile, so it has many health benefits. The most abundant amino acids in gelatin are glycine, proline, valine, hydroxyproline, and glutamate.

The body can make some amino acids itself, but not all of them, so it needs to supplement other amino acids through the diet. People rarely eat collagen-rich joints, tendons and connective tissue on a daily basis, so it's important to take gelatin supplements.

• Increase volume and texture: Several studies have shown that gelatin supplements can increase hair volume and thickness.
• Improved bone and joint health: The evidence for gelatin-based treatment of osteoarthritis is still weak, but recent studies have shown significant reductions in joint pain in gelatin-treated patients compared with placebo.
• Injury prevention: Gelatin, used in interval exercise programs, promotes collagen synthesis and may help prevent injury and repair tissue.
• Brain Health boost: The large amount of glycine found in gelatin may improve memory and concentration.
• Promotes gut health: Glutamate in gelatin helps repair and protect the intestinal wall from damage, helping to prevent 'leaky gut'; If you have a leaky bowel, potentially harmful substances can enter the bloodstream through the intestine.

The Form of Gelatin

Gelatin is a water-soluble protein mixture that forms a gel.

According to raw materials, it can be divided into skin gelatin and bone gelatin. Skin gelatin can be divided into cow skin, pig skin, chicken skin, fish skin gelatin, etc. Bone gelatin can be divided into cow bone, pig bone, chicken bone, fish bone gelatin and so on.

Fish scale gelatin is developed in recent years. It is extracted from fish scale. Fish scales are generally discarded as waste, but they are rich in collagen, about 20-40%, and not high in fat.
