Natural Wellbeing with Bruce Hart from Plum Organics Papamoa

About a year ago we first advertised the amazing properties of gelatin and were stunned by the reaction of so-called experts claiming that gelatin was ‘old school' and was called gelatine!

Evidence of the brilliance of gelatin as a therapeutic agent goes back more than a century, and not only established gelatin's value to cartilage and bones but also to the skin, digestive tract, immune system, heart and muscles. It's clear these early studies have fallen off the radar.

Common sense suggests those suffering from stiff joints, skin diseases and other collagen, connective tissue and cartilage disorders might be suffering serious shortfalls of proline, glycine and other needed nutrients.

The ability to digest protein obviously plays a vital role in the maintenance of good health. Too little hydrochloric acid impairs protein digestion and vitamin C absorption, allows the B vitamins to be destroyed and prevents minerals from reaching the blood to the extent that anemia can develop and bones crumble – backed by studies dating from 1939 to 1961.Doctors of the past also once knew the value of gelatin in treating celiac disease.

In 1924, a researcher named Haas stated the response of patients to a low-carbohydrate diet in which gelatin ‘milks' were given at the noon and evening meals was 'striking and almost uniformly good results were obtained over a period of about 10 years”.

Many of our customers testify to the positive benefits of including gelatin into their daily routine.
