Bone broth is a traditional food that has been a dietary staple in many cultures for centuries. The health benefits of consuming well prepared bone broth range from supporting the digestive system, restoring a healthy immune system, and helping with healthy skin and joints.
Bone broth is an excellent source of dietary minerals including calcium, phosphorus, and
magnesium. It contains important amino acids, and gelatin that our modern diets are deficient in.
