Andrea. C on 07 Jan 10the case when gelatin come from then? Gelatin is made of collagen. And where does collagen come, not when it hides? Most industrially produced collagen in gelatin is composed of connective tissue. Ie, skin, tendons, cartilage. In fact, collagen is found all through most animal bodies, between muscles and muscle cells. But all in all, the skin, the best source for commercially viable isAmounts of collagen and the gelatin you buy in packets is mainly pig skin - with maybe a few bits of cartilage sorted thrown - a great after-dinner conversation topic! If all this sounds too gross for you to read further, remember, it's "just" pieces of animals.
