Gelatin

Gelatin/Drug Interactions:

  • Antianxiety agentsAntianxiety agents: In vitro, gelatin enhanced the drug solubility of antianxiety agents (22).
  • AntibioticsAntibiotics: In vitro, gelatin enhanced the drug solubility of antibiotics (22). In vitro studies suggest that the presence of gelatin in the culture media has antibacterial effects (10; 11).
  • AnticonvulsantsAnticonvulsants: In vitro, gelatin enhanced the solubility of anticonvulsants (22).
  • AntifungalsAntifungals: In vitro, gelatin enhanced the solubility of antifungal agents (22).
  • Anti-inflammatoriesAnti-inflammatories: In vitro, gelatin enhanced the solubility of an anti-inflammatory agent (prednisolone) (22).
  • DiureticsDiuretics: In vitro, gelatin enhanced the solubility of diuretics (22).
  • Gastrointestinal agentsGastrointestinal agents: According to secondary sources, according to in vivo studies, gelatin short peptides, such as glyprolines, may prevent stomach ulcers and stomach mucus tunic from injuries.
  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs)Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs): In vitro, gelatin enhanced the drug solubility of NSAIDs (22).

    • Gelatin/Herb/Supplement Interactions:

  • Antianxiety agentsAntianxiety agents: In vitro, gelatin enhanced the solubility of antianxiety drugs (22).
  • AntibacterialsAntibacterials: In vitro, gelatin enhanced the drug solubility of antibiotics (22). In vitro studies suggest that the presence of gelatin in the culture media has antibacterial effects (10; 11).
  • AnticonvulsantsAnticonvulsants: In vitro, gelatin enhanced the solubility of anticonvulsants (22).
  • AntifungalsAntifungals: In vitro, gelatin enhanced the solubility of antifungal agents (22).
  • Anti inflammatoriesAnti inflammatories: In vitro, gelatin enhanced the solubility of an anti-inflammatory agent (prednisolone) (22).
  • AntioxidantsAntioxidants: Both systemic and topical gelatin-glycine/vitamin/mineral products decreased reactive oxygen species in the blood (7). The presence of other antioxidants may have played a role in these effects.
  • DiureticsDiuretics: In vitro, gelatin enhanced the solubility of diuretics (22).
  • Gastrointestinal agentsGastrointestinal agents: According to secondary sources, according to in vivo studies, gelatin short peptides, such as glyprolines, may prevent stomach ulcers and stomach mucus tunic from injuries.

    • Gelatin/Food Interactions:

  • Apple juiceApple juice: According to secondary sources, gelatin may increase turbidity in apple juice; gelatin consumption was mainly attributed to interaction with colloidal particles.

    • Gelatin/Lab Interactions:

  • Antioxidant statusAntioxidant status: Both systemic and topical gelatin-glycine/vitamin/mineral products decreased reactive oxygen species in the blood (7). The presence of other antioxidants may have played a role in these effects.
  • Blood culturesBlood cultures: According to secondary sources, in animals, gelatin administration may significantly increase the number of eosinophils (p<0.0001), mononuclear leukocytes (p<0.0001), neutrophils (p<0.001), and total leukocytes (p<0.01).
  • Blood pressureBlood pressure: According to various secondary sources, gelatin may cause hypotension.
  • Skin lipidsSkin lipids: According to secondary sources, in human research, a diet supplement containing gelatin-glycine improved skin lipids and enhanced skin hydration (7).
