Answers:
It is the same thing. The spelling difference is US vs. British. It means "stiff, frozen".

It has been used as a food thickener since the 1600's for making a variety of dishes. Frozen ices, fruit jellies and aspics (a meat or vegetable based savory jelly). Knox Gelatin and Jello are the most common brands in the States.

I've heard for years that it will help harden your nails, but that's never been proven. I never heard anything about it reducing dark circles (under the eyes?) A cold compress works better and a touch of Preparation H to reduce swelling. Don't laugh - models use this trick all the time and it really does work.

I've attached a couple of links with information that might help.

I do not know about reducing the dark circles, but gelatin and gelatine are two different spellings for the same thing. Gelatin is actually a good nutrient if you have joint problems, but the unflavored stuff tastes NASTY unless you mix it with something.

I thought that condition was a vitimin or hormone problem.
