There are many benefits for the entire body from consuming bone broth.
It is nutrient-dense, easy to digest, and rich in flavor. Bone broth contains many healing compounds such as collagen, proline, glycine, and glutamine. Also, there is an assortment of vitamins and minerals including: calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulfur, iron and zinc.
GUT INTEGRITY: Bone broth supports proper digestive function and promotes gut wellness. Bone broth contains an abundance of gelatin, the cooked form of collagen. Gelatin is rarely found in the modern diet, but should be, as it is a way to replenish collagen and its profile of amino acids. In the body, the gelatin in bone broth can improve gut integrity and digestion.
BETTER SKIN: Bone broth can improve skin texture by counteracting natural aging. As we age, the body makes less collagen. Because collagen provides a supportive structure to our skin's middle layer, called the dermis, as collagen is lost our skin loses its structural integrity. This is apparent when the skin becomes visibly thin, saggy and wrinkled. Consuming bone broth can help counteract signs of your skin's natural aging.
STRONGER JOINTS: Bone broth may protect the joints and help joint mobility. Bone broth contains nutrients extracted from animal cartridge and tendons, including chondroitin sulfates and glucosamine. These two proteins have been shown to promote structure in joints and reduce joint pain. Studies show glucosamine and chondroitin may improve joint comfort and help minimize age-related cartilage breakdown. These nutrients support proper inflammation response as well as stronger bones, ligaments and joints.
