Vitamin C Rich Gelatine Gummies with Tart Cherry Juice

Gelatine gummies have been all over social media recently, and for good reason! 

Gelatine is a nutrient-dense food high in protein and particularly high in the amino acid glycine, which can help improve mood and sleep, reduce stress, enhance gut health, support detoxification, and plays a crucial role in collagen synthesis. 

Gelatine’s affinity for collagen production makes it a perfect food for improving skin health and elasticity, strengthening hair and nails, and promoting stronger joints. 

In this gelatine gummy recipe, we’ve combined the goodness of gelatine with vitamin C-rich tart cherry juice to level-up the benefits. 

Vitamin C has a synergistic effect on gelatine by increasing its ability to support collagen production, essentially enhancing the benefits you’re likely to notice. It aids in forming stronger collagen structures and increases the activity of ‘messenger molecules’ that tell the body to make more collagen. Combined, they are a simple and delicious way to care for your body and mind. Using vitamin C in its natural food state from cherry means you’ll receive all the plant compounds and flavonoids that naturally occur in vitamin-c rich foods (instead of using an isolated vitamin) as nature intended, giving your body a more complete and beneficial range of nutrients.
