which one is good for skin, hair & nails? for gut healing? whats the diff in collagen and gelatin? I already know the gelatin thickens.

from what research I have found, both have equal health benefits etc--the only difference is one will thicken and one will not.

Both are good for all of the above. The red can will actually gel. The green can dissolves into hot drinks and makes adding gelatin easier for the above mentioned health benefits. Whenever I make bone broth I always add gelatin from the red can in order to increases the amount of collagen as it is not always easy to get enough when making your own.

The green can is best for gut healing, but both are good for skin, hair, nail, & gut healing. I use the green one in tea because it dissolves easily. I live in the Pacific NW, so I don't use the gelatin one too much in the winter. I use it a lot when the weather gets warmer.

I tried to use these products for leaky gut and for me it made my condition worse and caused horrible rash on my extremities. The thing I finally found to heal leaky gut was freshly juiced cabbage juice.

I dont know if it will work, but gelatin in not made from glutin products. There would a lot of experimenting to get the quantity needed correct. You cannot just substitue one for the other.

I can't give you and answer on the comparison because I have use Biota. But I can say that I was losing my hair from relaxing it all the time. So I stop get my hair relaxed and started to use Nioxin. And I truly can say in using it I saw a difference. I think it's good for all hair types. Just give it a try.

The ingredients list includes gelatin. Gelatin, is a substance derived from the processing of animal collagen. There is also a warning label to do not take if you have a medical condition..

I suspect you mean gelatin which is a collagen product derived from animal byproducts.

The Collagen Hydrolysate is more versatile. You can add it to hot or cold beverages, which is the best way to use it. Put it in your morning coffee or tea, and you won't be able to taste it at all. Also add it to your iced tea, and it dissolves beautifully with no taste to it. It doesn't gel, so it won't make things thick. You can even add it to foods like cottage cheese, mashed potatoes, hot or cold cereals...so many uses for the Hydrolysate. The Collagen gelatin is great when added to things you want thickened. Gravies, jello, stews, etc. Both of them are wonderful products, but I tend to use the Hydrolysate more often.

The bottle simply says Gelatin Capsule. Check the Nature's Way website for a contact and ask directly. I will say that if it is the ok gelatin for you, this ginger has proved effective for me. I have used this product for a very long time (years) with no issues and good results.

Hi, one tablespoon per day disolved in juice or a shake is all you need to add strength to hair and nails, many other health benefits too :)

Collagen taken orally can effect the skin gelatin can not. gelatin is not a complete protein, but collagen is. Taken together they both work better. Add vitamin C and get better absorption of the collagen. Hope this helps.

I started new supplements along with Cortisol, Biotin, Selenium and Kelp...my hair does look better and shinier, but am not sure which product helps the most. There are good all in one supplements for Hair, Skin and Nails...may want to try something along those lines or compare the ingredients.

Is this better than IBD? That's the only product I've used since doing my own nails.

Ugh! Sadly it contains stupid additives like gelatin and magnesium stearate. The latter is a machine cleaning agent they mix in there that is "harmless" in small amounts of humans. No thanks as far as the additives! As far as the gelatin, it is usually bovine derived. Meaning it is made from the tissue of dead animals. Kinda gross, vegan or no vegan.

Hello,One gram = 1,000 MG. I have read that one level tablespoon of collagen hydrolysate (aka "gelatin"), contains 7 grams of gelatin (or collagen), equaling 7,000 MG. Here is the link to the information: http://empoweredsustenance.com/collagen-hydrolysate-gelatin-hormones/. When you go to the page, scroll down about a quarter of the way.Hope this helps.

I haven't seen anything on the bottle about gelatin, BUT after a quick Google search, I see many entries that include gelatin in the ingredients list. Hope this helps :)

In other words is this gelatin made of cattle or swine? Hi Orianna. It's probably made of 'both' as most gelatins are a combination of both cow and pig by-products (such as left over skin). I was gonna say that it's not such a big deal since it's really only a tiny amount but now that I've been asked to put it into words, yeah, not such a good thing. It's very easy to overlook such minute ingredients but overall it can (and often does) make a difference. It's apparent now that I must have been 'asleep' to have overlooked this factor. I will continue to purchase 'activated charcoal' but no longer from Nature's Way. We should always look for the 'Vegetarian Capsule' label before making a purchase. Thank you for bringing this to my attention! ;)

I hope you have taken the time to find out from your doctor if in fact you do have leaky gut. Whether you do or not, there has been many evidence based reports that find that added gelatin (I prefer straight from the source i.e bone broths or marrow or cooking bones til soft and chewing) is beneficial to consume. Removing known inflaming foods for a period of time will also help.

I would think both would help, but I've only purchased and use the green canister....gelatin helps hair, nails, joints, and more....I sleep better too.
