Okay, so I finally tried this Pure Original Ingredients Beef Gelatin after seeing mixed reviews, and here's my take:

First off, NO weird smell! Some gelatin powders smell like a barnyard, but this one's totally neutral. Big win.

I've used it in everything - from thickening soups to making homemade gummies. Pro tip: whisk FAST when adding to hot liquids or you'll get clumps (learned that the hard way).

The price is insane compared to collagen supplements. Same benefits but way cheaper? Yes please!

Only downside: it needs more stirring than other brands. Not a dealbreaker though - just grab a frother and go to town.

PS: Ignore the packaging complaints - who cares about the bag when the product rocks? Transfer it to a jar if you're fancy.
