Gelatin is a natural protein derived from collagen, primarily found in animal connective tissues like skin, bones, and cartilage. It is widely used in cooking, baking, and as a health supplement due to its gelling, thickening, and stabilizing properties.

Rich in amino acids like glycine and proline, gelatin supports joint health, skin elasticity, and digestive function. It is often used in making jellies, marshmallows, gummy candies, and desserts. Additionally, gelatin promotes healthy hair and nails and may aid in gut healing and overall skin rejuvenation.

While gelatin is versatile and beneficial, those with dietary restrictions, such as vegetarians or vegans, often opt for plant-based alternatives like agar-agar.
