With its sudden rise in popularity, there has been a nonstop buzz all about the miracle health benefits of bone broth.

The experiences that people have while using bone broth, is enough to make anyone a believer.

• Vitamins and minerals. This will vary depending on the type of animal source you use, but for this broth recipe, you’ll find loads of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus, Vitamin A, K2, and minerals like zinc, iron, boron, manganese, and selenium.
• Glucosamine and chondroitin. Natural compounds found in connective tissue which supports joint health.
• Collagen. And lots of it. This turns into gelatin that, when cooked, yields several important amino acids.
• Helps maintain digestive health. Bone broth is not only easy to digest, but it may also help in the digestion of other food. Gelatin binds to the water in your digestive tract, helping food move through your gut easier. It is also believed to help with a condition called “leaky gut” or other inflammatory bowel diseases.
• Gut Health. Since bone broth contains collagen it is what helps to repair the gut lining. When you heal the gut, you can heal inflammation and many other ailments as well.
