Gelatine Powder for Arthritis 

This cartilage food can be made easily in the home from chicken bones and used to rebuild your aging joints.

What is gelatine? See these three chains made of amino acids, pink, red and blue, linked together?

Gelatin is the gel derived from the protein collagen found inside animal bones and cartilage. It is a protein, though it's not a complete. It lacks certain essential amino acids like tryptophan and methionine, so you can’t survive on gelatine as your only protein source.

However it is the main protein used by your body to make the cartilage that covers the bones in your joints. Hence gelatine powder for arthritis. 

It's a prime subject for discussion at chiropractic help; unhealthy cartilage equals pain.

Gelatine is a hydrolyzed form of collagen. What does that mean? Individual fibres in the body are bound together by chemical bonds to make up cartilage and other tissues, like skin, in the body. In the preparation of gelatine it is these crosslinks that must be first be broken down by hydrolysis. It can be easily done in the home, forming a semi solid colloid gel; gelatine.

Suffering from joint pain? Gelatine powder for arthritis may be part of the solution. And of course, whether in powder form, sheets, or your own homemade chicken bones bouillon.

Three gelatine chains

Water binding properties

The beauty of gelatine in the body is that it binds water making it the perfect material for building healthy hyaline cartilage, in fact all cartilage. The first sign of degenerating cartilage is the loss of this water. On an MRI the degenerate cartilage looks dark as it loses water, the disc space narrows and then the disc bulges...

You can also see how the water may seep into the bone,called a Modic effect, or modic change, which is the sign of deep bone pain. This cannot be seen by your chiropractor, unless he has a scan; it's not visible on ordinary plain xrays; and may explain why your back is still aching long after the joint subluxations have been corrected.

As the normal movement in the joint is restored, gradually this water that has seeped into the bone finds it's way back into normal circulation.

Gelatine powder has also been claimed to promote general joint health. One study for example found that gelatin relieved knee joint pain and stiffness in athletes.

What is not well understood is why gelatine powder, the foundation of cartilage, should relieve arthritic pain. Once in the stomach, gelatine powder is broken down into its constituent amino acids, and then reformulated into the protein of  hyaline cartilage in the bones. Never mind, just accept that it works! 

Healthy cartilage also requires a low omega 6 to omega 3 ration. Less seed oils, more olive oil, more fish or flax seed.
