*****This is very basic, you really should research some of this on your own******and also research the effects of too much gelatin so you know.
You can buy dry unflavoured gelatin in the grocery store, or you can boil down the bones of beef to use daily in soups to get the health benefits as well.
Here is what gelatin can do for you. I know, because it has done it for me time and time again. I used the powdered form for three months the first time to heal fibromialgia symptoms and bowel issues. It worked amazing. I stirred two LEVEL tsp into my tea every morning for three months at first, and now use it sporadically just to make sure I keep it part of my diet. I also make my own broths often from the bones of cows, and chickens, and use them to make soup at least once or twice a week.
Make sure you drink lots of water when doing this, and research it more on your own.
