When people ask me what supplements to take for a joint-related injury, I have several recommendations—proteolytic enzymes, hyaluronic acid, and bamboo silica, to name a few. But one secret weapon I often suggest is gelatin.
If you’re injured, take gelatin twice a day: once in the morning and again before bed.
If you want to prevent joint-related injuries—especially as you age—make it a daily habit. You can:
- Take it first thing in the morning by adding hot water to gelatin (use a few drops of stevia for flavor).
- Mix collagen peptides into your post-workout shake.
- Enjoy it before bed with this simple 3-step snack:
Step 1: Add a scoop of gelatin.
One of the best options on the market is Vital Proteins Pasture-Raised Beef Gelatin—it’s my go-to recommendation.
Step 2: Add some yogurt.
Choose a plain, unsweetened, full-fat, certified organic, Greek-style yogurt. Three excellent brands are:
- Nancy’s
- Straus Family Creamery
- Wallaby Organic
If you’re lactose intolerant, try sheep or goat milk yogurt, or opt for Yoso unsweetened coconut yogurt.
Step 3: Mix and enjoy!
Simply combine the gelatin and yogurt in a small bowl and enjoy before bed. Want to take it up a notch? Add:
✔️ A scoop of Well Wisdom Vital Whey – to increase protein content
✔️ Organic berries – for flavor, fiber, and antioxidants
This easy bedtime snack supports joint health, recovery, and injury prevention—and it’s delicious too!
