what is the source of this gelatin? My wife is looking for something to strengthen her nails and keep them from splitting.

It is made from the underside of animals skins. It is very clean and safe. It uses only animals that are raised for food. Knox brand is the original and has a proven track record over 100 years. It does help nails, but even better, it is great for your joints and hair. Take it every day, in any way you desire. I have been using it every day for 12 years.

I brew a cup of herbal tea ea. night and when done I SLOWLY add 2 Tbsps of gelatin powder, stirring vigorously all the whiIe . This avoids most of the clumping problems some people have complained about. You could also use a blender to combine the gelatin with a liquid of your choice. Am using it for osteoporosis.

It works. My nails kept splitting and got some Knox gelatin. I got two cans of it. I'm working on the second can. My nails have stopped splitting, so I'm going to get some more. Call 866-538-2336 to find out the source, or see their website KraftFoodService.com. The gelatin doesn't work instantly. It takes a while for the new nail with the gelatin to reach the end of the nail.

I don't know. I bruise easily and this product makes the bruising of my very thin skin less severe. You can buy the same product in smaller ( and more expensive) quantities in most grocery stores.

Unfortunately I can't answer your question, but if you send an email to the Kraft Customer Service, they probably can. Go to www.kraftfoodservice.com. It works wonders for my nails. I mix it with fruit juice, let it set and eat a few tablespoons once a day.

Your wife may also benefit from a Biotin supplement (a B vitamin), available on Amazon. It is available as a solo ingredient, Biotin, or as a skin, hair, & nails complex supplement. There is much information on the web about using Biotin for nail strengthening. Best of luck.

I understand it is derived from pork. I use it to strengthen my back.... no back pain after 40 years!

According to the website, the gelatin is from the bones of bovine not from the hooves or skin. You might want to go to their website and research for yourself.

This type of gelatin can be used as an additive to add to drinks to strengethem your nails and improve skin.. its pure collagen protein which is essential for bone and joint health as well.. I put some in my protein drink..This is not sweet like " jello" ... but yes you can make your own jello from scratch and add natural sweeteners yourself.. . Here is a link I found. http://www.mamanatural.com/how-to-make-healthy-jello/ They are trying to push the more expensive gelatin in that link but stick to Knox its fine I use it and get great results.. Good luck

Sorry, I gave this as a "stocking stuffer" to my daughter who trims her dogs' nails. No idea. Isn't there manufacturer's contact info on the label? If not, you could do a computer search for them and get the customer services number or contact info.

You should also search for chewable hair skin & nails vitamins. i know Natures Bounty carries some: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/470344754809505082/

Healthy gelatin (not the stuff found in jello brand jello) helps keep your joints strong. It's good for children's growing bodies. Gelatin from grass fed cows is supposedly the best. I make gummies and various juice/fruit gelatins for my children to get them to eat it. Now since my kids are grown I make my own supplements with it. They are yummy and free from fillers.

Its like regular gel...just cured under an led lamp for 30 seconds...the best gel ever made!!!!! You can use it over your natural nail or use it on extended nail tips....best use with the gel builder and you need to use pro bond as your primer

Sorry Carrie, I can't answer your question. I stopped taking it. Gelatin is usually made from animal bones as far as I understand. I know some vitamin companies advertise 'gelatin free' and use some kind of cellulose. My guess would be that there IS gelatin, but I can't say for sure. I can say the product worked well. I did a quick search and it looks like they do have gelatin, but I'd call the company if that's a deal breaker. Hope this helped. :)

To be honest, I have been taking vitamins forever and have healthy nails and hair. I think a gelatine supplement would be helpful in that area if you need extra help. I look forward to taking these vitamins, they are a "treat". God bless and good health to you!!!

I do not know the answer to this question. But I am assuming it is regular gelatin. I will say this much for the product though. I tried Heather's product, and I know that this one is much more powerful and works better. Gelatin or no gelatin, it is worth the try.

We are happy to help! As stated on the NOW Foods website, "The gelatin used in our gelatin capsules is obtained through the processing of collagen derived from the skin, white connective tissues and bones of beef and pork". We hope this information is helpful!

Gelatin is animal based. A friend of mine is a vegetarian and won't eat anything with gelatin in it. I believe it is from animal hooves.

I have them too. I think it helps but also buffing and taking gelatin capsules helps. It mainly helps to make the nails stronger (more flexible) and the polish doesn't chip so quickly. And I have low thyroid (with medication) too, so maybe that has something to do with it. Anyway I like the feel of having it on my nails, before or after polish.

Hi, Darri,If you don't mind, may I ask for what reason are you taking the hydrolysed collagen (gelatin)? If I know, I might be able to better answer your question better. Thanks!

I have no idea. Source of gelatin isn't shown on the product. Best to contact the manufacturer, New Health Corp.

Funny you ask. I ran out of gelish base and top coat. And use a different brand I had. Turned out just as good. Just be sure to use gel products and clean nail bed well. Hope this helps.
