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!
