The Ultimate Wellness Tonic: Why Bone Broth is the Secret to Gut Health and Longevity

Central to bone broth’s efficacy is the abundance of collagen, the most prolific protein in the mammalian body, which provides the structural framework for tissues. As the bones simmer, the collagen denatures and dissolves into the water, and upon cooling, this dissolved collagen transforms into gelatin, creating the characteristic wobble and texture of a high-quality broth. This gelatin is essentially cooked collagen, and it is in this readily digestible form that the body can most efficiently utilize its specific profile of amino acids to repair and rebuild its own tissues.
