    Can't Stomach Gelatin Drink! Help!

    Hi there,

    I just tried the gelatin mixed with grapefruit and oh my goodness it's awful!!! Both the taste and the texture.

    Any tips on making it easier to stomach?

    Thank you!

    Arghh, it is gross. When I first started swaying I tried to drink it but there was no possible way it was going to happen. It's awful. I don't think anything can make it better! Sorry, I haven't really helped!

    Butterfly, it increases testerone levels from what I remember.

    I agree, it's really bad. If you can't do it, that's ok. Just skip it and eat a bit more meat. Or, you can try making it into gelatin dessert and eating it but you have to eat a LOT to make up for the amount in the drinks.

    The gelatin drink has all the amino acids present in meat (plus a few others that our bodies don't use) and it's just an easy way to be sure your body has enough raw materials to make protein out of. it can help to raise testosterone.

    Would taking the gelatin capsules work too?

    I am having DH and myself take those because we really don't eat meat, me never and him maybe 1x/week

    You can take the gelatin capsules, but they're quite a bit more expensive and you also have to take a lot to amount the the gelatin in the drinks. Also, I think it's best for the gelatin to hit your stomach and get digested by stomach acid, so your body is better able to use the amino acids. A lot of capsules don't dissolve until your intestine, which is good for things like herbs and probiotics that can be negatively affected by stomach acid, but the gelatin may be best used after a trip thru the stomach acid.
