about this product.

Vital Proteins Pasture Raised Gelatin is a bovine gelatin supplement derived from pasture-raised cattle. Gelatin is the cooked form of collagen — it provides glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, the amino acids that make up connective tissue in the body. When dissolved in liquid, it forms a gel, making it a practical way to increase dietary collagen protein.

This product suits people who want to support joint comfort, gut lining integrity, and skin structure through food-derived collagen peptides. It is particularly relevant for those eating a whole-food or ancestral-style diet, for athletes managing joint load during heavy training, or for anyone who no longer regularly consumes bone broth or cartilage-rich cuts of meat. Gelatin is also widely used in cooking — it sets liquids into jellies and thickens broths — so it integrates naturally into a kitchen routine rather than feeling like a clinical supplement.

Collagen-derived proteins are studied for their role in supporting cartilage matrix, gut mucosal health, and skin elasticity, though individual responses vary. Gelatin is not a complete protein, so it should complement rather than replace other protein sources. The single-ingredient formulation keeps things simple: just bovine gelatin, sourced from pasture-raised animals.

frequently asked.

What is the difference between gelatin and collagen peptides?

Gelatin and collagen peptides come from the same source, but are processed differently. Gelatin dissolves only in hot liquid and gels when cooled, making it useful in cooking. Collagen peptides are hydrolysed further so they dissolve in cold liquid and do not gel. Both provide the same core amino acids.

Is gelatin a complete protein?

No. Gelatin is high in glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline but lacks tryptophan, which means it is not a complete protein source. Use it to complement your overall protein intake rather than as a primary protein supplement.

Who should avoid this product?

Anyone with a beef or bovine allergy should avoid this product. It is also not suitable for vegans or vegetarians. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication, check with your GP or a registered clinician before adding it to your routine.

How long before I might notice a difference?

Research on collagen-derived supplements generally uses intervention periods of 8 to 12 weeks. Noticeable changes to skin, joints, or gut comfort are unlikely in the first few days — consistency over several weeks is more relevant than short-term use.

Can I use this in cold drinks or smoothies?

Gelatin requires hot liquid to dissolve. Added to a cold drink it will clump rather than mix evenly. If you prefer to add collagen to cold beverages or smoothies, a hydrolysed collagen peptide product would be more practical.

Finally a gelatin I trust the sourcing on

4 months ago

Been making my own jellies and adding this to bone broth for about three weeks now. Dissolves cleanly in warm liquid, no weird smell, sets beautifully. I started using it mainly for my knees — been doing marathon training and wanted extra support without piling on more capsules. Early days but joints feel fine so far. The pasture-raised sourcing matters to me, so happy to pay the premium.

Does exactly what it says

Simple, clean ingredient. Mixes into my morning broth without any fuss. Would buy again.

Good quality but the bag size is frustrating

5 months ago

Really happy with the product itself — it sets well, no off-putting smell, and I like that it's just one ingredient. My only gripe is that 280g doesn't last very long if you're using it daily in cooking and as a supplement. I'd love a larger bag option at a better price per gram. Will keep buying for now, but it feels like poor value compared to some rivals.

Swapped from a supermarket gelatine powder and there's a noticeable difference in how cleanly this sets — no grainy residue. Use it in panna cotta and savoury stocks. Happy with the sourcing credentials too.

Solid staple in my whole-food routine

7 months ago

I've been eating ancestral-style for a couple of years now and this slots in perfectly. I used to make bone broth from scratch every week but I just don't have the time anymore, so this fills the gap. I stir a couple of spoonfuls into soups and stews — it thickens them nicely and I feel good knowing I'm getting those amino acids in. No gimmicks, no fillers. Just gelatin from properly raised animals.

Great for gut support

8 months ago

A friend recommended this when I was dealing with some digestive issues. I've been mixing it into warm water with lemon each morning for about two months. Hard to attribute exact changes to one thing, but my digestion has generally settled down and I'll keep going. Reassured by the single-ingredient label.
