Our grandmothers and great-grandmothers had it right! Bone broth is one of the most nutritive and healing foods out there. It’s made by heating bones, low-n-slow, for at least 24 hours. That time allows all of the minerals in the bones to leach out into the water and the marrow that is found inside the bones to work its way into the water as well, giving it its nutrient-dense healing powers. Bone broth is not only rich in minerals which help to boost the immune system, it contains collagen, glutamine, glycine, and proline. Collagen is a great support to joints, hair, skin, and nails. Glutamine helps to repair our gastrointestinal system. Glycine assists in building muscle and joint tissue. Proline can cushion joints and act as a shock absorber. Bone broth also lessens inflammation. There are some modern-day catches to making our own bone broth. With our busy lives, not all of us have the time to wait at least an entire day before a bone broth is ready for consumption. An even bigger issue is the quality of how the animal was raised. Just as all of the healing goodness seeps into the water, so too can detrimental hormones and antibiotics from a conventionally-raised animal. That would certainly be counter-productive to healing our bodies! This is where Ancient Nutrition’s bone broth proteins come in. They’ve taken out the waiting time, and their bone broth powders contain all of the healing benefits that a homemade bone broth would. It is always non-gmo, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, grain-free, and nut-free. Ancient Nutrition bone broth powders can be added to smoothies, oatmeal, soup bases, water when making rice, or added to just a good ol’ milk alternative!
