I’ve been playing with these since I accidentally bought a rather large tub of gelatin instead of collagen and turned my coffee into jello. Gelatin does have some great health benefits. In tcm it is used in to support deficiencies of yin and blood. It is a good nutritional source of glycine which can help strengthen connective tissue, heal gut lining and acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter which can help decrease stress hormones.

The ratio for jello gummies is:

•1 cup liquid to 4 tbsp gelatin powder: blend, heat, pour into molds & set in the fridge.

These ones are turmeric latte mix with liquid vitamin D but I think herbal teas and syrups will be the next experiment. Elderberry for immune support, ‘sleepy time’ tea for stress & sleep, nettle & green juice for liver support. It could be a great way to get kids and those on soft diets some extra herbs and vitamins.

If you have the means - there’s a lot of “ethical” options for sustainable gelatin these days but if you are on a limited budget Knox brand is very inexpensive and has the same health benefits.
