Gelatin also has a solid reputation for calming an irritated digestive tract and
aiding digestion, 5 as well as relieving peptic ulcers, infections, and even helping overcome cancer.6 The amino acid glycine, found in gelatin, specifically improves
digestion by enhancing gastric acid secretion.7, 8 In fact, research published in 1982 in the American Journal of Physiology found that this substance promoted
digestion by boosting the secretion of gastric juice, bringing the amount of hydrochloric acid in the stomach
to normal levels.9 This is
excellent news for those suffering from intestinal conditions, including indigestion.
