Gelatin 500 mg
Bernard Jensen's
Overview
This product provides a very low dose of gelatin per capsule, making it unlikely to achieve the significant benefits observed in clinical studies for joint health, skin elasticity, or musculoskeletal performance. While gelatin itself is a beneficial compound, the dosage provided means its effectiveness will be severely limited.
The Good
Extremely high safety profile with minimal reported side effects.
Derived from grass-fed beef gelatin, indicating a potentially higher quality source.
Provides a source of amino acids beneficial for overall connective tissue health.
The Bad
Low dosage per capsule may not be sufficient for therapeutic benefits related to joint and skin health.
Requires taking multiple capsules daily to reach commonly studied effective doses, which could be inconvenient.
Not suitable for vegans or vegetarians as it is derived from beef gelatin.
Is it for you?
