Bone broth from meadow chickens, by Broth of Life

Many people think that animal bones and joints have no nutritional value. Nothing could be further from the truth. Many essential nutrients can be distilled from these hard structures, for example by drawing broth from them. The use of bone broth is as old as Methuselah and very nutritious: traditional peoples worldwide agree that bone broth has many health benefits. It is an efficient and natural way to supply your body with gelatin. Brewed by Broth of Life, this natural chicken bone broth is made from the meat and bones of genuine meadow chickens. Due to its high gelatin content, its use is distinctly nutritious for the entire body.

What makes Broth of Life bone broth so special?

Bone broths come in various qualities, as becomes clear when you understand what it takes to make a good bone broth. Broth of Life has put together a number of beautiful bone broths that are very special for several reasons. First, the water used for the bone broth is filtered three times through a special system to ensure that there is no chlorine or fluoride in the water. The soup is then made, with plenty of time and attention dedicated, through a manual and extremely careful production process. Part of this process is to simmer for a minimum of 24 hours so that collagen and other nutritious components that animal bones and connective tissues are naturally rich in are given time to be released.

Broth of Life has an edge over competitors in this field through its years of research and product development. For example, Broth of Life was the first worldwide to dehydrate its products in order to package them in a handy powder form that has a long shelf life and is easy to use. In addition, Broth of Life broth is the world's first 100% certified bone broth! Broth of Life considers it very important to be transparent about all ingredients used. This way you can be sure that you get a high-quality product when choosing Broth of Life's nutritious 'golden elixirs'—as the company itself likes to call this line of broths.

Bone broth, an ancient tradition

Traditional cultures as well as wildlife instincts have always known that bones and cartilage are very nutritious. Human use dates back to the Stone Age: archaeological discoveries around the world have shown that our ancestors made broth from freshly caught animal food sources. An authentic, pure bone broth is still one of the best and tastiest ways to take in the nutrients from animal bones and bone marrow. A brew that is still traditionally produced today, by simmering animal bones and cartilage at low temperatures in water for an extended period of time. The liquid contains dissolved nutrients and is a source of bioavailable collagen (gelatin). This ancient soup is one of the most nutrient-rich, natural food sources in the world and has long been used as a powerful and beneficial food. Bone broth reminds us of the warm, safe kitchens of our grandparents, where food was lovingly prepared and connected us.

The secret of bone broth

A good bone broth contains a variety of essential nutrients that have powerful beneficial effects on your entire body. Long-term simmering releases easily absorbable vitamins, minerals and amino acids and converts collagen into gelatin, so that your body can absorb this substance well. In addition, broth contains special carbohydrates called glycosaminoglycans. Collagen is a glue-forming protein found in the bones of vertebrates and released in bone broth as the easily absorbable gelatin. Because of its powerful nurturing properties , bone broth is justifiably called a superfood!

Benefits:

• In no time, a high-quality, nutritious soup is on the table, without having to spend hours in the kitchen
• Easy to use due to the powder form
• Suitable for all ages
• The bone broth chicken contains not only gelatin but also essential glycosaminoglycans such as glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid
• Contains 100% prairie chicken
• Made with natural ingredients and free from pesticides, antibiotics or hormones

The importance of collagen for our body

Collagen fibers are important extracellular proteins throughout the body. They make up about 25% to 35% of the total protein content in the body and are used by the body to build the special collagen triple helix structure. This structure ensures that tissues and fibers in our body maintain their strength, cohesion and flexibility. Before about the age of 25 the body makes enough collagen. Thereafter its production decreases and then it becomes useful to supplement this substance, through food for example. More than 90% of the collagen in our body consists of type I. Collagen type II is found in joints, ribs, nose, larynx and intervertebral discs while type III is common in the skin and blood vessels. Bovine collagen is most commonly used in collagen supplements and it consists mainly of type I and III collagen.

Bone broth versus collagen hydrolysate

In bone broth made from high-quality animal food sources, collagen is converted into gelatin through the slow heating process, which is then easily absorbed by the body. Bone broth gelatin consists of several types of collagen and contains essential nutrients, including useful minerals, fats and special carbohydrates (glycosaminoglycans, often shortened to GAGs). Collagen hydrolysate is a progressively processed form of gelatin, in which proteins are broken up into smaller pieces by means of enzymes. Collagen hydrolysate does not contain the extra nutrients found in bone broth. However, both forms contain the main essential amino acids, are easily absorbed and have the same nutritious properties.

A rich amino acid profile

Did your mother used to give you chicken soup when sick? Few foods are as powerful and beneficial as a good bone broth. In our current society, no one has the time to spend an entire day making soup. Broth of Life's chicken bone broth is slowly infused with pure water and fresh vegetables, just like your mom used to do. The consommé thickens into a paste that is dried. The result is a pure broth powder that contains high concentrations of essential amino acids, including glycine, lysine, glutamine and proline.

Eating from head to tail

The head-to-tail principle refers to an ethical and sustainable method of meat processing in which all parts of an animal are used for consumption. Traditionally it was commonplace to use an animal to its fullest after being slaughtered, but in today’s Western society we commonly limit the parts of an animal we use. A shame -- because eating organs and glands is very rewarding! Wisdom that traditional healers from ancient cultures already knew how to implement. It makes sense: the human body is composed of a very specific intermixture of nutrients, enzymes, and bioactive substances that, on consumption in the form of animal organs, support the entirety of the body and fit the nutritional needs of the corresponding organs in that human body. For optimal sustenance, you may choose a supplement with specific glands or organs to replenish nutrients. Anyone who eats according to the principles of evolutionary food believes that our body has a way of directly integrating the nutrients of healthy animal organs. A great example of Mother Nature's work!
