Does Gelatin Supplement Cause Excessive Weight Gain?
I have been taking gelatin supplement for it s health benefits. However, I have found I gained weight. Is it possible the gelatin in the tissues can hold great amounts of water and cause this weight gain? Can hydrolyzed collagen be taken instead with the same benefits and not cause this to happen? Thank you.

Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
No gelatin supplement does not cause excessive weight gain.
@ On the contrary , forums of athletes and body builders use plain gelatin
powder for weight loss & maintenance !
@ Taking hydrolyzed collagen also will not cause excess weight gain , just
it will be affecting bioavailability levels only with same benefits
Hope this clears your query.
wishing you fit , fine health ahead.
