How much Gelatin should you eat everyday?
-
@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.

I ran out of gelatin (of which I had been faithfully eating 2-4 Tbls a day) and found my persistent issues with bloating and brain fog cleared up hugely.
I think that some endotoxin issues were in play, but that the high levels of arginine in gelatin were contributing to excess Nitric Oxide and crowding out uptake of Leucine.
When it stops being 100*F I might experiment with making gelatin from scratch again and see if it is any better. I sure did love my gelatin. -

was it also homemade the one you ran out of?

@female87 I don't think Ray would've recommended it, but you could always try BCAA's as an alternative to gelatin. No arginine in BCAA powders. BCAA has the ability to block tryptophan.

@CO3 only Europoors couldn't understand the based burger chad who chooses the higher priced more processed product because it is more convenient and doesnt smell like pig's trotters baking in the czechslovakian sun
-
@CO3 no, i was on store bought gelatin powder
-
@Mulloch94 I will investigate! Thanks for the tip.
