Gelatin Trick Recipe​ Dr. Mark Hyman

The claim: eating it 15 to 30 minutes before a meal helps you feel fuller faster, cut cravings, and reduce calorie intake. Collagen is the structural protein found in animal connective tissue (like skin and bones). For supplements, this collagen is further broken down into smaller fragments called collagen peptides, which dissolve easily in cold liquids and are absorbed quickly by the body. That’s what you find in most collagen powders, drinks, and gummies. Gelatin packets cost less than a dollar and are available in every grocery store. For those who can’t afford collagen supplements or other pricier trends, the gelatin trick feels attractive, something you can do yourself with household ingredients.
