What is Dr. Gundry's gelatin recipe?

Dr. Gundry's gelatin recipe typically combines pasture-raised gelatin powder with compliant liquids like herbal tea or fruit juice, sweetened with monk fruit or stevia. It is designed to support gut health, joint function, and skin elasticity while aligning with his Plant Paradox dietary guidelines. The recipe avoids lectins, artificial sweeteners, and inflammatory additives.

What type of gelatin does Dr. Gundry recommend?

Dr. Gundry recommends grass-fed bovine gelatin derived from hide and connective tissue rather than bones or marrow, due to the lower Neu5Gc profile of hide-sourced collagen. The two brands that meet this standard and actually gel are Great Lakes Wellness in the green can and Bernard Jensen's unflavored gelatin. Note that Vital Proteins produces collagen peptides, not gelling gelatin, their products will not set into gummies or jello-style recipes regardless of how much you use. Always check that your label says "gelatin" not "collagen peptides" or "hydrolyzed collagen" before buying.

What are the health benefits of Dr. Gundry's gelatin recipe?

Dr. Gundry's gelatin recipe is believed to help heal and seal the gut lining, reducing leaky gut symptoms that he links to many chronic diseases. Gelatin is rich in glycine and proline, amino acids that support joint health, skin collagen production, and improved digestion. Regular consumption may also aid in reducing inflammation throughout the body.

Is Dr. Gundry's gelatin recipe Plant Paradox compliant?

Yes, Dr. Gundry's gelatin recipe is designed to be fully Plant Paradox compliant when made with approved ingredients like pasture-raised gelatin, lectin-free liquids, and approved sweeteners. It avoids common inflammatory triggers such as sugar, artificial flavors, and lectin-containing fruit juices. Always verify individual ingredient labels to ensure full compliance with the Plant Paradox program.

How do you make Dr. Gundry's gelatin gummies?

To make Dr. Gundry's gelatin gummies, dissolve one to two tablespoons of grass-fed gelatin powder in half a cup of cold compliant juice, then stir in one cup of warm (not boiling) liquid and add a few drops of stevia or monk fruit sweetener. Pour the mixture into silicone molds and refrigerate for at least two hours until firm. These gummies serve as a gut-friendly, lectin-free snack that supports collagen production.

Can Dr. Gundry's gelatin recipe help with leaky gut?

Dr. Gundry suggests that gelatin's high glycine content helps rebuild and strengthen the intestinal wall lining, which may reduce leaky gut permeability. By regularly consuming his gelatin recipe as part of the Plant Paradox protocol, patients may experience reduced bloating, improved digestion, and decreased systemic inflammation. However, it should be used as part of a comprehensive dietary approach rather than a standalone treatment.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups filtered water or unsweetened hibiscus tea
3 tablespoons grass-fed bovine gelatin (Great Lakes Wellness green can or Bernard Jensen unflavored)
1 to 2 tablespoons allulose (adjust to taste)
10 to 15 drops monk fruit liquid extract (optional, for sweetness depth)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from peeled lemon)
1 teaspoon raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar with the mother (optional)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Pour 1/2 cup of the filtered water or tea into a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom. Do not stir.
While the gelatin blooms, heat the remaining 1 1/2 cups of liquid in a small saucepan over medium heat until it is steaming but not boiling. Remove from heat.
Once the gelatin has bloomed into a firm, spongy mass, add it to the hot liquid. Whisk gently until fully dissolved. There should be no visible granules.
Whisk in the allulose, monk fruit extract if using, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar if using. Stir until the sweetener dissolves completely.
Pour the mixture into a glass baking dish, silicone mold, or individual serving cups. For gummies, pour into silicone gummy molds.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set. The gel should be firm and jiggle when shaken.
Unmold or cut into desired shapes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

For best results, use gelatin that is specifically labeled as hide-derived or from connective tissue, not bones or marrow. Avoid erythritol and xylitol as they can ruin the gel texture. If using tea, steep it strong for more flavor. The apple cider vinegar adds a slight tang that complements the hibiscus.
