Gelatin
Nature's Bounty
Overview
This gelatin supplement provides a source of protein that might support hair, skin, and nail health, and very mild joint benefits. However, the research is limited and results are likely to be minor for most people. Moreover, the quantity of protein per serving is relatively low to be considered a good protein supplement and it is not a suitable sole source of protein, as it does not contain all essential amino acids.
The Good
May support hair, skin, and nail health through collagen production enhancement.
Provides a source of protein.
Generally well-tolerated and considered safe for most people.
The Bad
Limited efficacy for hair, skin, and nail health compared to collagen hydrolysate.
May cause gastrointestinal discomfort in some individuals.
Not a complete protein source due to low levels of essential amino acids.
Is it for you?
