Health Benefits:

Gelatin appears to be beneficial to athletes for muscle growth and metabolism.
Gelatin promotes a feeling of fullness.
Gelatin helps maintain regularity
Gelatin's high collagen protein content helps keep your skin smooth and firm. Many creams contain collagen to moisturize the skin but it is more effective when taken through food.
Gelatin strengthens the hair, keeping it looking shiny and healthy.
Gelatin is also excellent for the nails because it makes them stronger, so they do not break easily.
Gelatin is excellent for your bones because of its high concentration of glycoprotein and proline amino acids. If you have a deficiency in both amino acids, you can have joint pain. When it is taken orally, it travels directly to your blood and from there; it goes to its destination, the connective tissue. By adding at least 10 grams of gelatin to your regular diet, your joints will quickly regenerate in case you overexert yourself.
Nutrient in Gelatin: The gelatin is rich in the amino acids found in collagen, including L-proline, L-hydroxyproline, and glycine. It contains no fat, cholesterol or carbohydrates, is free of any additives and easy to digest. Gelatin makes a nutritious addition to your everyday diet.

Yay, me too!
Another tip to dense it up a bit is mix with boiling water as per instructions, then when you have to make it up with cold water add fat free natural yoghurt instead and leave to set. I pour it into small ramakin dishes so it's a quick, snack sized (low cal, low carb and low fat) pudding!
