Which Great Lakes product do I need for the gelatin trick?

The red canister Grass-Fed Beef Gelatin — not the green collagen peptides. Only the gelatin product forms a gel, which is the key to the satiety effect.

Can I use Great Lakes gelatin for the Dr. Oz pink gelatin recipe?

Yes. Bloom it in unsweetened cranberry juice instead of plain cold water for the signature pink color.

Where can I buy Great Lakes gelatin?

Available on Amazon, at Whole Foods, at many health food stores, and on the Great Lakes Wellness website.
