Knox gelatin is used as a natural remedy to relieve joint pain. The gelatin is similar to collagen type 2, which makes up connective tissues in the body. These connective tissues include cartilage which when working properly allows bones connected to joints to slide against each other as your bones move. With arthritis, meniscus tear, and other knee injuries, the cartilage becomes roughened and joints can not move as they once did. Gelatin is said to help the cartilage repair itself back to its smooth state. Adding Knox gelatin to your diet is also shown to help with those who suffer from insomnia, back pain, and even bone spurs.
