Health Benefits of Gelatin
Gelatin is a hydrolyzed form of collagen, which helps with skin, hair, nails plus many other things necessary to live a happy healthy life. It’s out of dehydrating parts of animals, including skin, bones and tissue. It’s colorless and tasteless. Like collagen, it help improve gut health and digestion.
Glycine from gelatin can help the mucus lining in the stomach and help balance your digestive enzymes. Gelatin neutralizes methionine levels, which eating a lot of meat can create high levels of (actually, homocysteine, in a round about way). Carnivore dieters should consider gelatin, as it neutralizes excessive methionine intake (which increases homocysteine levels).
Glycine is also an inhibitory neurotransmitter which acts in a similar way to anti-depressants only without the nasty side effects. Unlike collagen, gelatin creates a gel substance that is useful in cooking, especially when creating jelly.
Substitutes for Gelatin

Best used if you want a harder style of jelly. Used in cooking throughout Asia and Russia and is a fantastic vegetarian substitute for gelatin.
