This gelatin beef powder is equal in every way to more expensive and popular brands of unflavored gelatin. I put a tablespoon full in a mug along with a coffee substitute like Pero or Dandi Blend, pour in boiling water while stirring and enjoy! It has no flavor, as advertised, but it imparts a wonderful smoothness to any hot drink, and best of all, it has stopped my hair fallout. It is pure protein, like a shot of energy. I love it!

There are not many things that I can say definitely make a difference but this is one of them. It took a couple months before I noticed but it really helps my joints. I was really in pain most of the time. I started taking this in my daily shake. Suddenly one day I realized that I was sleeping better and that the pain I had been experiencing was so much better. I have Parkinsons and my muscles tense up. Its not comfortable but I would hate to think what it would be like if I wasn't taking this product.

A couple months ago, I started taking gelatin daily for back and hip pain, and I've noticed enough improvement that I've decided to continue taking it. It's not a cure, but it helps me put in a full day's work in front of the computer. I'm also getting a full night's sleep instead of waking up in pain, despite being an incurable stomach sleeper.

I started with what was available at the grocery (Knox). Since it worked for me, I decided to start taking gelatin as a part of my daily routine. That makes it more important to know what I'm ingesting. Zint claims to be made from pasture-fed cattle, so I do feel better about taking it every day.
It dissolves completely in hot liquids using the method below, and it has very little taste or odor that I can discern. There's the slightest tinge of something if you really *try* to taste it, but I find it very faint and quite tolerable.

Here's how I dissolve it: Put a teaspoon of the powder in a custard cup, small bowl or coffee cup. Add just enough room temperature water to stir easily. LET IT SIT (this is important) for a minute or two to form a thick slurry or gel, depending how much water you added. (It can do this while your coffee or tea is brewing.) Spoon the slurry or gel into your hot beverage (or pour the beverage on top of it) and STIR until it's completely dissolved. It will melt gradually, like an ice cube, as you stir. I do add sweetener to my coffee and tea, so if there is any faint flavor, it's not noticeable. Sometimes I gel up a larger batch of it, store it in the fridge, and spoon out a chunk at a time for my hot beverages. Bonus: it cools the beverage to drinking temperature as it dissolves.

I think there is a very slight change in the texture of hot drinks with added gelatin and I actually like it, especially in tea. It adds a bit of body that I find more enjoyable than plain tea--similar to what a little bit of cream does for coffee. I like tea more now than I did before I started adding the gelatin. If you suspect you have super sensitive taste buds, I suggest you do as I did and try a small package of the store-bought kind first before buying the Zint brand.

The only thing I don't like about the Zint gelatin is that it comes in one of those fiddly zip-close bags. If you don't "zip" it just right, the bag doesn't close fully. I wish they sold it in a jar or canister, but I guess I can keep my eye out for a suitable container and transfer the product to it. That's a matter of personal preference, though"”some people might prefer the bag.

If you're looking for something to dissolve in cold beverages, Zint also sells collagen hydrolysate, which should have the same benefits for your skin and joints as regular gelatin. Zint was out of stock when I ordered, so I got the Great Lakes brand. I'm taking two tablespoons of that daily now (the recommended serving size is larger), in addition to my one teaspoon a day of the Zint gelatin, for the convenience of being able to just stir and drink. Collagen hydrolysate is considerably more expensive, so if cost is a factor, stick with the plain gelatin.

I bought this a few days ago to increase gelatin intake in my family's diet. We are hoping this might resolve some joint pain and add to our hair, skin and nail health.

When I received this package I realized 2 lbs was going to last me a long time. The gelatin has a nice clean fresh smell with no strong odors. Yesterday when I made grape jello, I found that about 4 tsp of gelatin first bloomed in a little cold water then tempered with some boiling water gave a nice firm gel to about 2 cups of liquid. There was no off taste in the jello from the gelatin whatsoever. I am really excited to use this healthful ingredient in other culinary applications such as mousses, gummies, candies and other desserts. You can also add this to homemade bone stock that needs more gelatin content.

I love the fact that this comes from pasture raised animals and that there is no worry of toxins that come from conventionally raised animals. I highly recommend this become a healthful pantry staple in everyone's kitchen.

I absolutely love this gelatin. I used to buy Great Lakes but the price and taste of Zint beats GL gelatin. I've also used their hydrolized version and does not alter the flavor of the water or any medium in which dissolves what so ever. These guys got me as their client, now I'm hooked on Zint. I have already recommended it to many of my friends, family and clients. I don't supplement with BCAAs anymore I'm getting my full spectrum of amino acids from this amazing gelatin, best protein ever with super fast absorption.
