3 Myths About Gelatin (and Why We’re Obsessed With It)

Gelatin sometimes gets misunderstood, but it’s actually one of the most nourishing, versatile ingredients you can add to your wellness routine. At Gelatin Glow, it’s the heart of everything we create—from our Matcha Glow to our Beauty Marshmallows—because it’s full of benefits for skin, gut, joints, and more. Today, let’s bust a few myths and set the record straight.

Myth #1: Gelatin is just “jello” with sugar and dyes

When many people hear “gelatin,” they think of neon-colored packets from the grocery store. But real gelatin—like the grass-fed bovine gelatin we use—is nothing like that. It’s a clean, nutrient-dense protein that can be used in both sweet and savory recipes. In fact, it’s the base of our Glow Bombs, marshmallows, and wellness lattes.

The truth: Gelatin is a whole-food ingredient, not an artificial dessert.

Myth #2: Gelatin doesn’t actually have health benefits

This one couldn’t be more wrong. Gelatin is packed with amino acids that help repair your gut lining, support joint health, and improve skin elasticity. Paired with collagen, it becomes a powerhouse for glowing skin, shiny hair, and strong nails.

The truth: Gelatin is one of the best (and most delicious) ways to care for your body from the inside out.

Myth #3: Gelatin is hard to use at home

Some people think gelatin is tricky, but it’s actually incredibly versatile and easy to use. We’ve taken the guesswork out with products like Morning Glow and Matcha Glow, where the gelatin is already blended into recipes that taste amazing and fit seamlessly into your day.

The truth: Gelatin can be as simple as pouring hot water over one of our Glow Bombs.

Why We Love It

At Gelatin Glow, we use grass-fed bovine gelatin and collagen to make products that are clean, craveable, and wellness-boosting. From supporting digestion to fueling natural energy and keeping your skin radiant, gelatin is at the core of our mission to make self-care both nourishing and fun.
