Now Foods Beef Gelatin Natural Powder 1 lb (Pack of 2)

Good Gelatin Powder Highly recommend

I have chronic digestive issues and am eating a mostly full liquid diet. Its hard to find items that are high in protein except for those individual nutrition drinks or huge tubs of whey. I still eat dairy products but am trying to cut as much out of my diet as possible. After doing some research, I found that gelatin is high in protein.I purchased the two 1lb bag set to start with. I had eaten some boxed gelatin but did not care for all the added ingredients in the mix. I used the Now Foods beef gelatin along with 100% organic juice and made a jello batch. I was amazed how simple it is to make and how much better it tasted.After adding a tablespoon or two of gelatin to my daily intake, I have begun to notice some differences in my digestive issues. Gelatin coats the digestive track and has helped my stomach and esophagus feel better. I have really bad Gerd that never stops. This helps sooth my digestive track.I am also noticing my arthritic areas are starting to feel less inflamed. I can walk a little longer before the pain gets out of hand. I am impressed how quickly the gelatin benefits are working.I have put gelatin in my hot cereals (oatmeal, cream of wheat) and cold cereals, along with my smoothies. I will be making gummy bears soon do I can sneak some gelatin into Hubby's diet. There are 45 - 1 Tbsp. servings per package, 90 servings total for both bags. Each serving has 9 grams of protein. This size package will last you for a while.I highly recommend this Now Foods Gelatin. You get two pounds for about the same brand as the other brands. I like that it comes in two one pound plastic bags so that one bag can stay closed and dry while the other is being used.

I've been taking gelatin as a collagen supplement for years. Usually shop on price, but pay attention to comments on quality of product. Now Foods provides a quality product. Will continue to buy.

I love having a bag or two of gelatin powder in the kitchen, for whatever I want to make. It's a great source of healthy protein that easily mixes into a variety of foods. It's basically flavorless, which means it contributes a great deal of mouthfeel without overwhelming the flavor of what I'm making. I routinely mix Now Beef Gelatin Powder into:- Coffee in the morning. Gives it a nice nutritional boost and helps me delay eating breakfast.- Soups. This stuff is a supremely good thickener and has allowed me to up my homemade Hot and Sour Soup game tremendously.- Sugar free gummy candies. Who doesn't love that?- Treats for my dogs and cats.I find that when I'm eating a lot of gelatin, wounds will heal faster and my skin, nails, and hair look better overall. This is a great price for a very useful product, and saves me from having to make and store big batches of broth.

I was looking for an alternative to taking expensive collagen products and after doing some research I decided to go with gelatin. This larger bag is far cheaper that buying the little individual packets. I simply add a scoop to my coffee in the morning and blend it. There is no offensive taste with it. I must say my nails have never looked so great or grown so fast. I also bought a bag for my boyfriend to have. We both enjoy it!

I've been using this twice a day as a supplement for about two months. I'd been taking collagen peptides for several months and saw great results with them, but my finances took a hit and I switched to this in the hopes of getting similar results at a lower price point. I know they're not identical, but I figured I could use gelatin to tide me over until I could afford collagen peptides again.However, this product delivers for me so well that I won't go back. My hair and nails are stronger, and I'm experiencing less clicking in my joints. At two servings a day, I noticed these results within 10 - 14 days of use. That's about the same time frame as I had with collagen peptides, but the results were about 25% better. Also, I find this much more filling than collagen peptides, so it's great for times when I'm too busy for a proper meal. A serving of gelatin in broth plus an apple and some carrots is a satisfying meal that I can have in a very short window of time.To be clear, I don't cook with this, so I can't speak to its performance in recipes. Usually I mix it in hot water or add a scoop to broth. It mixes well at higher temperatures, though I find that I need to keep stirring between sips to get all of the product. I've also had it a couple of times in plain yogurt mixed with some other things (flax seeds, chia seeds, etc.). It made this particular runny yogurt quite a bit thicker but didn't alter the taste significantly.There is a mild beef flavor to it, but I don't mind that in straight water and it works well in my broths. I've tried it in my black tea a couple of times but didn't like how it altered the flavor. However, it worked very well in some oatmeal that someone gave me. It was a flavored type and far too sugary for my taste, but one scoop of gelatin cut the sweetness down to an acceptable level and gave the oatmeal a nice thickness to it. There's a slight (but not unpleasant) scent to the powder which I also notice when I use this in plain water, but I can't detect it when I use it in broth, yogurt, or oatmeal.There's no scoop included with this, but I don't mind -- I've got plenty in all sizes from other products. The bag is easy to open and reseal, and it stays closed. Eventually, I took to putting the powder in a small tub left over from another product because that was easier for me to store, but you should have no trouble working with the bag if you want to use it that way. I've used other Now products from the bag and never had problems. I've just started with my second order and found it to be identical to the first batch, so Now's quality control appears consistent. That's very important to me.If you're thinking of using this as a supplement, I'd say it's definitely worth a try. Collagen peptides worked well for me, but this does the same job cheaper and better. Your mileage might vary, but Now gelatin is good quality and at a reasonable enough price to make experimenting worth your while.

I bought this to use to make gummy bears. It works great! This was the first time I've ever made gummy candy. It was a fun project to do with young kids. The gelatin dissolved easily and didn't clump. We had no bubble trouble, either. I highly recommend this beef Gelatin powder. Great product that's reasonably priced.
