Beef gelatin is a slow releasing long chain protein which takes the body a long time to digest and be absorbed into the bloodstream. Cooking turns collagen sourced from animals into gelatin. Through a long and slow heating action, collagen proteins change through a process called denaturing. The collagen proteins become liquid, and once cooled again, they have the property of being gelatinous. The denaturing process will give soups and stews a nice flavour and texture, but also provides the body with amino acids for collagen production which improve your gut health, skin, hair, nails, and overall health.
The functional uses for gelatin include:

As a product derived from animals it is important to consider how cattle were raised and what they were fed, both for health of yourself and your family, but also for the health of the environment.
