Bone broths have long been revered for their health benefits, this is ancient knowledge. 

Sunday soup was a weekly dish served up by my grandmothers and mom throughout my life to this day as a family meal and tradition.

Our German ancestors were omnivores, meaning they utilized the whole of an animal.  Over time, the convenience of buying lean meats at the grocery store, resulted in losing much of the nutritional value. 

Eating lean muscle meats with exclusion of organs, skin, cartilage, marrow ,etc… supplies the diet with an unhealthy balance of amino acids.  Methionine, is one amino acid, when received in large amounts (relative to other amino acids, like glycine), can promote IGF-1, which in turn can support the growth of cancerous cells in unhealthy individuals.  Supplementation with glycine (or simply eating snout to tail) balances these amino acids out and does not promote this process. A person that eats mainly lean muscle meats is more prone to  cancer compare to a person that is a strict  vegetarian, however, one that fully utilizes the animal (as in hunter -gatherer diets) is known to produce almost no cancer, even in old age.   

The gelatin found in bone broth is  hydrophilic which attracts and holds liquids, including digestive juices, thereby supporting proper digestion.

Bone broth reduces joint pain and inflammation courtesy of chondroitin sulfates, glucosamine, and other compounds extracted from the boiled down cartilage and marrow.

Amino acids such as glycine, proline, and arginine in bone broth all have anti-inflammatory benefits.

Bone broth contains high amounts of calcium, magnesium, and other nutrients that play an important role in healthy bone formation

But far beyond this, broth is a powerful food as it’s easily digestible, helps heal the lining of your gut, and contains valuable nutrients that promote healing throughout your body. 

And current dietary trends have blown up broths, we have combined the vintage tradition of the German way of life and utilizing current knowledge of bone marrow to make our delicious broth. 

This nutritional soup is still regarded as “liquid gold” in my family for promoting good health and improving ailments from the common cold to cancer. Loaded with amino acids and minerals, bone broth is a valuable attribute to a healthy and fully functioning immune system and tonified skin!
