The Benefits of Bone Broth

Contributed by Carol Kline

DID YOU KNOW?
• The gelatin found in bone broth is a hydrophilic colloid that attracts and holds liquids, including digestive juices, thereby supporting proper digestion
• Bone broth reduces joint pain and inflammation courtesy of chondroitin sulfates, glucosamine, and other compounds extracted from the boiled down cartilage
• Amino acids such as glycine, proline, and arginine in bone broth all have anti-inflammatory effects
• Bone broth contains high amounts of calcium, magnesium, and other nutrients that play an important role in healthy bone formation
• Bone broth can be made from any type of bones you like – chicken, beef, pork, or even fish – but seek bones from organically raised, pastured, or grass-fed animals
