Gummies gelatin

Homemade gummies. Great source of protein, vitamins and minerals. You can add probiotics and prebiotic. 

2 1/2 tablespoons gelatin powder (protein) 
1/2 cup fresh juice of your choice (vitamin and minerals) 
1 teaspoon lemon juice (vitamin C)
Raw honey to taste (prebiotic and healing properties)
You can use maple syrup or molasses (any natural sweetener if your choice)

Place the juice and gelatin into a pan on low heat and stir until gelatin dissolves (don't boil it)

Remove mixture from heat and add honey, lemon juice and any supplement to boost the nutrients and stir well. I added probiotics and vitamin C powder.

1) Eating too much or the wrong kind for YOU can causedigestive upset—> constipation, bloating & lack of appetite.

The primary amino acid- glycine in gelatin is needed in abundance to fuel detoxification in the liver, particularly phase 2. According to Peter Bennet in The 7 Day Detox Miracle Solution, “Glycine is a nonessendtial amino acid that the body uses for detoxification reactions in the liver.” Eating too much too quickly can overwhelm your body, and do more harm than good. Start with a small serving 1/2-1 tablespoon per day and slowly increase your dose every few weeks as tolerated. According to Ray, Peat, PhD, gelatin can make up to about to 30% of total protein intake, so for the average person that is about 3-6 tablespoons per day (1 tablespoon is 6 grams of protein).

2) Choose a type that fits your digestive abilities.

This is what I’ve found works best with my clients:

• Strong digestion: regular gelatin, collagen hydrolysate & bone broth
• Weak digestion: collagen hydrolyslate, bone broth
• Very weak digestion: bone broth

3) Dissolve it.

Both gelatin and collagen hydrolysate should be properly dissolved in fluid. This is especially important for regular gelatin which is only hot water soluble.

4) Eat it with carbohydrates and fat for the best digestion.

Since gelatin is a protein, it’s important to eat it with carbohydrates and fats to stimulate strong digestive juices and allow the body the fuel to use the protein properly.

5) Regular gelatin and collagen hydrolysate are NOT interchangeable.

They have a different chemical structure and serve different purposes in the kitchen. I get a lot of questions about substituting one type for another in recipes, and it’s not a good idea. This is why:
-Regular gelatin (red can) is hot water soluble, makes things gel, and is harder to digest. Only use this one in SMALL quantities- like making a dessert or something that gels (gummies, etc).
-Collagen hydrolysate (green can) is cold water soluble, does not make things gel, and easier to digest than the regular. This makes it a good choice for using like a protein powder.
