Bone broth - Pastured chicken - 90 grams

Bone Broth – Pastured Chicken from Broth of Life

Many people today no longer realize that animal bones and joints are rich in vital nutrients. These firm structures can be strained into a nutritious broth. The use of bone broth dates back thousands of years; traditional peoples worldwide considered it not only nutritious but also strengthening for the body. Bone broth naturally provides gelatin and numerous other nutrients. Broth of Life chicken broth is made with meat and bones from carefully raised pasture-raised chickens. Thanks to its high gelatin content, this broth is exceptionally nourishing for the entire body.

What makes Broth of Life unique?

Not all bone broths are created equal. A truly high-quality broth requires care and craftsmanship. Broth of Life distinguishes itself through several unique aspects. The water used is filtered three times, eliminating chlorine and fluoride. This process involves a traditional process in which the broth simmers slowly for at least 24 hours. This process fully releases the collagen and other valuable nutrients from bones and connective tissue.

Broth of Life pioneered the global dehydration of bone broth, making it available in a convenient, long-lasting powder form. The company was also the first in the world to produce fully certified bone broth. Transparency about the ingredients is paramount, ensuring you're choosing a high-quality product—the "golden elixirs," as Broth of Life calls its broths.

Bone broth through the ages

Traditional cultures and even wild animals instinctively know that bone and cartilage are nutritious. Even in the Stone Age, our ancestors cooked broth from captured animals; archaeological evidence of this has been found worldwide. To this day, bone broth is prepared according to this ancient principle: simmering animal bones and cartilage in water for a long time.

The resulting liquid is rich in dissolved nutrients and bioavailable collagen (gelatin). This "primordial soup" is among the most nutritious natural food sources and has been considered potent and beneficial for centuries. It evokes memories of the warm kitchens of grandparents, where food was prepared with care and love.

The Secret of Bone Broth

A good broth – or "bone broth" – is packed with essential nutrients that support the entire body. The prolonged simmering process releases minerals, amino acids, and vitamins, while collagen is converted into gelatin, which is easily absorbed by the body. Glycosaminoglycans, a specific group of carbohydrates, are also released. Collagen is a binding protein found in bones that, when cooked, becomes available as gelatin. With these properties, bone broth can easily be called a superfood.

The importance of collagen

Collagen fibers are the most important extracellular proteins in the body, making up 25–35% of all proteins. They provide strength, flexibility, and cohesion to tissues. Until about the age of 25, our bodies produce sufficient collagen; after that, this decreases, and dietary supplementation can be beneficial. More than 90% of our collagen consists of type I; type II is found in joints and cartilage, and type III is primarily found in skin and blood vessels. Supplements often contain bovine collagen, usually types I and III.

Gelatin and collagen hydrolyzate

When bone broth is heated slowly, collagen transforms into gelatin, which is easily absorbed. This gelatin contains various types of collagen and also provides important minerals, fats, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Collagen hydrolysate is a more processed form, in which the proteins have been broken down into smaller particles with enzymes. Although hydrolysate lacks the additional nutrients of bone broth, both forms contain essential amino acids and support the body in similar ways.

A rich amino acid profile

Perhaps you were also given chicken soup when you were sick as a child—and for good reason. Few foods are as nutritious as bone broth. Because few people these days have the time to steep their own broth for 24 hours, Broth of Life offers a practical solution. Their chicken broth is made with pure water and fresh vegetables, reduced, and then dried into a pure bouillon powder. This powder contains high concentrations of amino acids, such as glycine, lysine, glutamine, and proline.

Eating from head to tail

The head-to-tail principle is a sustainable way to fully utilize animals. While all parts used to be eaten, we now often limit ourselves to the "easy" bits. Yet, organs and glands are exceptionally rich in nutrients and have been used for centuries by traditional healers. Each organ provides specific substances that support the corresponding organ in our body. Supplementation with organ extracts therefore fits well within evolutionary eating, which relies on the wisdom of Mother Nature.
