During a cutting phase, the appetite-curbing effect can be a cheap, easy addition before a meal, same mechanism as for anyone else, see our does it work breakdown.
Where It Falls Short for Training Goals
Gelatin's roughly 6 grams per serving and incomplete amino acid profile make it a poor fit for muscle recovery or training-level protein needs, see our protein content breakdown.

Quick Take
A minor appetite tool at best for athletes, not a recovery, muscle-building, or joint-support formula at this dose.
