There's Always Room For Gelatin !

According to a recent study at Ball State University, gelatin supplements have a positive effect on joint pain and stiffness in athletes.

David Pearson, associate professor of physical education, said Ball State athletes suffering knee pain were tested last year. Male and female athletes in all sports were included. One group received a placebo while the other group received a gelatin supplement for eight weeks.

"Post-test evaluation indicated the gelatin supplement had a significant positive effect on reduction of knee pain," Pearson said. "If there's one thing that sidelines an athlete quicker than anything else, it's a joint problem. This shows that a food supplement such as gelatin can reduce joint pain in athletes."Pearson believes the results are also encouraging to older adults suffering joint pain. "It's possible that gelatin can repair minor cartilage damage that may result in greater joint problems later," he said.

"It's also encouraging to be able to use a food supplement in alleviating joint pain rather than have to resort to prescription drugs."Pearson states that "The supplement has a greater concentration of gelatin than you would find in the common dessert," he said.
