Is bone broth good for you?Updated a year ago
The short answer is, yes. Simmering collagen-rich bones and joint materials for a long time extracts easy-to-digest nutrients, like collagen, protein, amino acids and hydrating electrolytes, like potassium, phosphorus and magnesium. These nutrients have been proven to help nourish, heal and restore our bodies.
Our customers buy our bone broth for these essential nutrients, and for a whole variety of reasons, from supporting gut health and immunity, to boosting skin and hair, to supporting different diets, from intermittent fasting to paleo. Turns out that old adage about chicken soup was true all along. Read more on the benefits of bone broth.
Bone broth and collagen: what’s the deal?
Bone broth is the most natural source of collagen, extracted by simmering collagen-rich bones and joints into a liquid that’s easy to consume and digest. Collagen is a type of protein that our body naturally produces and which we produce less of as we get older. It’s the glue, if you like, that holds our body together, strengthening and supporting our joints, helping our skin to retain its youthful elasticity, and helping build our gut lining, among many other benefits.
While there are many collagen supplements now available, which are made from animal hides that are chemically processed into powders or pills, bone broth is a totally natural source of collagen, made from the same whole foods our ancestors were eating centuries ago.
