I've heard that gelatin is good for arthritic joints. Is this the same gelatin for that usage, or is that something different?

This is definitely the gelatin that is good for arthritic joints. You can take supplements for arthritis with gelatin in them but I just make jello for me and my kids with organic juice and this gelatin and everyone wins!

I've been using this product, rubbing it into my skin with no rashes or bad side effects. I swear by this product as one of the best for arthritis and joint pain. I started using it years ago for sore, aching muscles after working out. Still works great! Maybe the label should have read do not apply to wounds, irritated or broken skin.

It has been a long time since I got this product. So, I don't know if it is grass fed or not. I used it in cold liquids,but it did not actually dissolve in them, but I liked it well enough that way. I was doing a very low carb. diet at the time, which caused some health issues even while I lost weight. I'm doing something different now that has helped me a lot so far. It may be that not dissolving the gelatin might have contributed to my developing allergy symptoms to gelatin. Mostly I believe it was the low carb. diet that was responsible. Great Lakes is supposed to be a very good brand of gelatin. It has been a long time since I got this product. So, I don't know if it is grass fed or not.

It is natural gelatin, safe for human consumption. We use it to hold seed in a particular shape.

Gelatin is an animal by-product. Whether it's derived from pigs or cows specifically is not known.

THIS (green cannister) is different from actual gelatin. It is further broken down so that it will NOT congeal into a SOLID no matter what you do! Will ALWAYS be in LIQUID form (at temperatures below freezing that is)...ALWAYS.The product they sell in an ORANGE cannister IS gelatin and it WILL act just like jello---HARDENING/CONGEALING after a time.hth! :)

i muscle test all my supplements to make certain that my body needs and assimilates them at the proper times thru out the day. i was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and this particular collagen tested positive for me to use. i must say that since i have been taking it, my nails and hair are fabulous.... as for joint health, i am hoping that it too will be beneficial .

Basic item is the same, just a different name. You can check the contents,most of these item will contain gelatin as a base or part of product. That is what keeps it stiff and keeps the crea from breaking down. Allare good working products,Good luck, sincerely, Ralph

Far as I know, gelatin is an animal product. Googling it, I could be wrong. I don't have the bottle anymore.... sorry.

I'm not sure since I haven't tied, "regular gelatin obtained from grass fed cows". If you sell the product I'll try it out. I like what collagen does for me.

No, it is not. Gelatine is made from ground bones, I believe this is from chicken bones.

It is the same as collagen hydrolysate. It isn't gelatinous in your drink either.... It blends very good with smoothies or other beverages.

Knox is gelatin, not pectin. There are many differences. Gelatin is collagen protein. I eat it every day to strengthen my nails and hair. Pectin is carbohydrate-based so it does work to gel but not to strengthen nails. http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-gelatin-and-vs-pectin/

Collagen which is the basic substance for joints. There are no additives in this brand, which is why I recommend it. The "old" Knox gelatine has now added "fillers", vitamins, and minerals, and you hardly get any of the collagen that makes this stuff so beneficial for joints.

I use the powder MSM (4 gms per day) for joint pain, my husband uses the TriMedica liquid. They are both good. You could use either one with satisfactory results. I would not combine the two, there is no need.

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!

YES! Something in it is really helping me. My knee pain is gone and they used to ache all the time. I took chondroitin and glucosamine, which is what my orthopedics doctors recommended, for years and it does nothing. It won't hurt to try it.
