In your excellent post you write the following; "gelatin is by no means a complete protein, containing only the amino acids arginine and glycine in large amounts, it acts as a protein sparer, allowing the body to more fully utilize the complete proteins that are taken in."

Which is correct, but it is not arginin, but hydroxyprolin/prolin and glycin that is found in large amounts. Percentages vary with the raw material (bones and cartilage or skin) and how it is cooked or manufactured, but typical amounts of glycin is 25,000 mg/100 gram, prolin is 14,000 mg/100 gram whereas arginin is only about 8,400 mg/100 gram.
