Description

What is Beef Gelatin?

Beef gelatin is a powdered supplement made primarily from cowhide (the natural, unbleached skin and hair of cows). It comes specifically from bovine collagen, which is also a structural protein found in the human body that is vital to overall health in many ways. Consider that it helps form our joints, ligaments, skin, bones, the lining of our gastrointestinal tract and more. Both gelatin and collagen supplements are composed of amino acids, including glycine, proline, hydroxyproline, and arginine, which are beneficial for digestion, wound repair, joint support, and more.

Beef gelatin is not only a great source of protein, it also acts as a thickener when cooking or baking. Because of the way it absorbs liquid and forms a gel or jelly consistency, such as in fudge, jam, jellies, puddings, and marshmallows, it is considered a “thickener” and “stabilizer” in recipes. Gelatin is defined as “an almost colorless, odorless, water-soluble protein made from collagen that is used in food preparation and is the basis for jellies, photographic processes and glues.”

If you’re making bone broth at home, you’ll notice that gelatin is the “jelly-like” component of animal parts that aren’t typically consumed in animals these days, including the animal’s skin, bone marrow, and tendons. Beef gelatin becomes “stretchy” and jelly-like when mixed with hot liquid. It’s almost tasteless, which means it can be used in a variety of recipes. It works a little differently than collagen powder because it needs to be dissolved in hot water or other hot liquids such as coffee.

Beef gelatin powder supplements don’t actually have any beef, but they are called beef gelatins because they come from the collagen found in cattle. Some of the highest quality beef gelatin supplements available today come from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine collagen. The collagen is then cooked and heated to separate out the gelatin. Gelatin is considered “pure protein” because it contains virtually no fat, fiber, sugar, carbohydrates or other vitamins and minerals. It consists of about 98% to 99% protein by dry weight.
