It improve the quality of sleep and daytime cognitive functions, daytime sleepiness and sleep efficacy. Study shows that gelatin is found to be helpful for people having problem in asleep. People with gelatin helps to lower pain and inflammation in muscles or joints and improve athletic abilities. Research has shown that people with joint pain, osteoarthritis and bone related problems such as osteoporosis and exercise associated injuries and soreness could be helpful for supplementing gelatin. Collagen and gelatin lowers pain and prevents progressive disease that could result in impairment in joints i.e. When people ages, they develop aches, stiffness and limited mobility which could worsen over time because collagen continues to erode and break down. Osteoarthritis is the leading cause for joint pains. Gelatin and collagen helps to ease symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Gelatin helps to absorb fluids and water that prevents bloated stomach and fluid retention by promoting constipation. Older people experience digestive problems as essential digestive juices are reduced during aging process and aggravate by increased stress. Insufficient amount of enzymes could cause digestive problems such as acid reflux, nutrient deficiencies, anemia, indigestion and bloating. Gelatin has glycine which is essential to restore healthy mucosal lining in stomach and facilitate by balancing stomach acid and digestive enzymes. It promotes the ability for producing adequate secretion of gastric acid which is essential for nutrient absorption and proper digestion. Gut lining is the important line of defense which keeps particles from food, yeast and bacteria inside digestive system where it belongs and prevents leakage into bloodstream that triggers inflammation. Similar to collagen, gelatin is helpful to prevent intestinal damage and promote lining of digestive tract by preventing leaky gut syndrome and permeability. Charles and Rose Knox of New York over middle late 1800s manufactured and advertised gelatin powder which diversifies the applications and appeal of gelatin. During 1800 to 1900, food applications in USA and France resulted versatility of gelatin which include its origin of popularity as Jell-O in USA. In 1754, the commercial development leads to the issue of British manufacturing patent. Gelatin was firstly used in foods is faceted to Medieval Britain during 1400s when hooves of cattle were boiled for producing gel. Instant types are added to food as they are and others are required to be soaked in water before. Gelatin could be found in the form of sheets, powder and granules. Usually, it is found in gummy candy, gelatin desserts, marshmallows, dips, ice creams and yogurts. The upper limit of gel’s melting point is less than 35 ☌ (95 ☏) and lower limit is the freezing point at which an ice crystallizes. The gels exist over a range of small temperature. Gelatin gels have mechanical properties which are very sensitive to variations of temperature. It does not dissolve well when added to cold water. Gelatin dissolves in hot water and sets to gel on cooling. It has hydroxyproline, proline and glycine in its polypeptide chain. The natural molecular bonds between individual collagen strands are broken into form so that it rearranges more easily during hydrolysis. Gelatin is irrevocable hydrolyzed form of collagen where hydrolysis results in lowering protein fibrils into smaller peptides that have broad molecular weight ranges related with chemical and physical methods of denaturation based on hydrolysis process.
SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN BENEFITS OF GELATIN SKIN
Gelatin is the mixture of proteins and peptides produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen being extracted from bones, skin and connective tissues of animals such as fish, pigs, chicken and cattle. The substance which contains gelatin or has similar function is known as gelatinous. It is used as a gelling agent in food, vitamin capsules, pharmaceutical drugs, cosmetic manufacturing and photography.

It is a colorless, translucent, brittle and flavorless food which is derived from collagen found in various body parts of animal. Gelatin is also known from various names such as Gelatine, InstaGEL, Gelatina, Vegeta, Collagen Hydrolysate, Collagène Hydrolysé, Collagène Dénaturé and Collagène Marin Hydrolysé.
