The amino acids glycine and proline perform an important function for building up fibrous tissues in the human body. An insufficient supply of these amino acids can make itself known in the form of painful joints as well as brittle fingernails and hair.
The natural protein gelatine plays a major role in supplying the body with glycine and proline. It differs from other proteins because it contains the two amino acids in a concentration that is around 10 to 20 times higher than others.
International studies confirm that hydrolysed gelatine has a preventive and regenerative effect on the skeleton and locomotors system – especially bones, cartilage, tendons and ligaments.
It is true that the earlier the better for using the natural foodstuff gelatine for prevention. Reputable dieticians and doctors recommend a dose of 10 g of gelatine a day in the diet as optimum.
Arthritis and osteoporosis
Arthritis (wearing of the joints) and osteoporosis (pathological thinning of the solid bone substance, leading to brittle bones) are among the most well-known diseases of the locomotor system in Europe.
Sports injuries, extreme sporting activities, heavy manual labour and wrongly loading the joints and bones lead to changes in the joints. These can lead to stiff fingers, cold feelings and swellings in the extremities. These changes are often accompanied by extreme physical pain. However, the complaints can be prevented with a healthy diet where protein intake has been optimised, for example with gelatine.
