Bone Broth

What is bone Broth?

Bone broth is a mineral rich infusion made by slow cooking the bones of healthy pasture raised animals.

It has deeply nourishing and many healing properties that are missing from modern diets. First up the bones contain proteins. In fact they contain close to 50% protein by volume and that number goes up once you factor in all the connective tissue that is attached to them. Collagen, the protein matrix in bones, tendons, ligaments, and other flexible tissues is broken down during the cooking process into another protein called gelatin which contains very important “non-essential” amino acids, especially proline and glycine. These proteins provide a variety of crucial functions.

What are the benefits of bone broth?

  • Joint Health

    Bone broth contains proteins that provide the raw materials needed by your body to support the maintenance and repair of connective tissue, such as tendons (muscle-to-bone connectors) and ligaments (bone-to-bone connectors). These tissues are crucial for overall physical health and strength.

  • Gut Health And Digestion

    Bone broth is often praised for its ability to promote gut health, especially in addressing issues like "leaky gut." This can be caused by factors such as gluten, dairy, sugar, and antibiotics, which can harm the gut lining. A healthy gut lining is essential for absorbing nutrients effectively in the small intestine, where vitamins and minerals are absorbed from food.

  • Supporting Immune Healthand Recovery 

    You've probably heard about the healing powers of chicken soup, often called Jewish penicillin, right? The gelatin in bone broth is thought to support the immune system, and the amino acid cysteine may help thin mucus in the lungs, making it easier to expel. So, if you're feeling under the weather, a warm cup of bone broth might just be what you need!

  • Natures Beauty Food

    On a more superficial note, collagen and gelatin found in bone broth are often associated with supporting the appearance of smoother skin, potentially reducing the visibility of cellulite and wrinkles. Some people find it also contributes to healthier looking hair and nails.
