Bone Broth — Food & Nutrition

What is Bone Broth?

Rich in collagen, glycine, and proline, supporting skin regeneration and gut health

Long-simmered bone broth breaks down collagen into gelatin, providing raw materials for the body's collagen synthesis.

Characteristics & nutrition facts

During the long simmering process used to make bone broth, collagen from bones and cartilage is known to break down into gelatin, and amino acids such as glycine, proline, and glutamine are released into the liquid. These amino acids are described as building blocks for collagen synthesis in the body and are also said to be involved in the health of the gut lining. It should be noted, however, that dietary collagen does not directly become skin collagen — it undergoes digestion and re-synthesis in the body.

How to manage

Consuming bone broth with the fat skimmed off and salt reduced to keep it clear is recommended; pairing it with vegetables may help with nutritional balance. If you are sensitive to sodium or need to monitor kidney health, it is advisable to adjust the amount consumed and consult a healthcare professional. Incorporating it consistently as one component of a balanced diet is beneficial.

Good to know alongside

Bone broth is frequently discussed alongside gelatin and collagen peptide supplements, amino acids such as glycine and proline, and the concept of the gut-skin axis.

Everyday care tips

Preparing a large batch at once and freezing it in portions makes it easy to use as a base for soups and stews whenever needed.
