@CO3 I'm thinking of mostly just drinking it. I might make a broth & chug it from a flask tbh...
No you won't. Be a fucking human being.

OK? who is that even? i barely remember this guy, definitely don't remember him contributing anything useful.
I think he had a lot of gut issues and healed it. He mostly attributes his success to beef gelatin.
Thanks for the rest of the advice.

Probably about 1/3rd of your protein should come from gelatinous sources. I don't really know how much this would translate over into pure gelatin packets. I get most of my glycine from oxtail or hamburger, or pressure cooking chicken carcasses. I usually have oxtail daily in my fridge to heat up for dinner, and if I don't I just turn to hamburger, or drink chicken broth with dinner. I don't feel the need to track my glycine intake because I just intuitively know I'm getting enough. I basically never eat muscle meats anymore, bidenomics has made it too expensive
In terms of pure gelatin, it seems like the 3-6 tbsp recommendations is probably pretty accurate. Unless you're just eating a ton of protein daily. Or milk. For peaters the milk is probably the biggest source of tryptophan. The calcium does help some, Ray mentioned it helps convert the tryptophan to niacin.

You might would be interested in following this thread as well. If you restrict your protein intake your gelatin requirement won't be all that high.

@Mulloch94 Bookmarked. Will try to find time to read.

What about homemade jello? Some people don’t like using powdered gelatin, but if it agrees with you, gelatin, sugar, and juice are all that is needed. Set it in the fridge to cool, and slice chunks of it off at each meal. I love it before bed with ice cream, (or if I’m lowering fat intake, with some fruit and cheese).
-
@evan-hinkle I could do that!

@Mulloch94 Do you know the Macro's for oxtail?

Gelatin has to me a slaughterhouse smell, which collagen doesn’t, so I only use collagen.I suspect gelatin is loaded with endotoxins.
-
if you have a sulfite sensitivity, then you should avoid gelatin completely.

Only Yanks could ever talk about food this way. Instantly assuming the person is referencing some terrible industrial form of it. In some ways you guys are less than human.

@CO3 ah yes, dehumanization, a virtuous human trait. Human us more Daddy!

I have no idea what you are talking about. I’m referencing Knox brand which is supposedly a top brand.

@Ecstatic_Hamster hydrolyzed or non hydrolyzed?
-
@Ecstatic_Hamster You know gelatin is like. from animals right? it's as much a supplement as 'steak'.
-
@CO3 gelatin production is from skin and results in massive endotoxins. Collagen is refined and seems better to me. When I make gelatin gummies they smell like a rendering plant.
-
@Ecstatic_Hamster Dude collagen also comes from skin. It's literally the same thing. Buy cow feet and make your own broth. Learn to cook, learn about how nature works
-
@CO3 not sure why you have to be condescending. I know quite a bit about collagen and production of it. I also know how to cook. Collagen has been further processed and they’re just doesn’t have any of that slaughterhouse smell that I get when I make something with gelatin.
