Gelatin is a protein substance used to thicken liquids. It does not have a color, smell, or taste. It comes from boiling animal tissues such as beef bones, cartilage, tendons, and pig skin. Gelatin is used in many kinds of food products and drug and supplement products.

This might not sound too appetizing, but you likely wonât even know your eating it when you have it because itâs virtually colorless and tasteless.
