Sharing is caring!

Are you at all shocked that I’m back with another bone broth benefits post? 

My only goal today is to give you the lowdown on bone broth benefits.

Let’s just review how much I have shared with you over the years about bone broth so you remember what a legit broth’er I really am.

Here is just a sampling:

To this day, I still make bone broth (and vegetable broth), and believe in it more than ever.

Why? It’s simple, and it works for healing.

If it didn’t I would never have remained consistently passionate about it almost 10 years later. 

Bone Broth Benefits

1. Rich in gelatin. And I believe in gelatin for gut healing. 
2. Good source of protein. I try to get as much protein as possible, but if you’ve been following along lately, it has not been dominated by meat. 
3. Versatile. You can do so many things with broths; from straight drinking it to making entire soup meals out of it, and even freezing it into cubes for flavor enhancers to other meals.
4. Immune system boost. Because bone broth is packed with proteins (glycine and proline) that are well-known for nourishing the lining of your gut, it is thought to help give your immune system a boost.
5. Nutrient dense. Bone broths contain minerals in forms that your body can easily absorb: calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulphur and others.
6. Helps Leaky Gut Syndrome. You can read all about it in 31 Specific Things to Heal a Leaky Gut.
7. Improve joints. Bone broth is a natural source of collagen, which is great for the joints.
8. Maintain healthy skin. I’ve already talked about collagen and skin; because bone broth contains collagen, it’s great for the skin.

But mostly the reason most of you care about bone broth is because of its implications on the gut. 

Bone broth is great for gut healing. There are a ton of thoughts and research out there to prove this, but I like the simplicity of how Dr. Jill said it,

Bone broth (or stock) is fabulous for healing intestinal permeability. It contains collagen, which nourishes the intestinal lining and reduces inflammation. Plus, it’s easy for a damaged gut to digest and reap the benefits of its protein and minerals.

Can You Recommend a Packaged Bone Broth?

Due to the explosion of bone broth, I have gotten so many questions around,

If I don’t have time to make it myself, is there a packaged bone broth you can recommend?

Honestly? I have only found a few I really like.

And while I will never say that any of them can and should completely replace the art of homemade broth, I will remind you that I am a realist.

We are busy and constantly on-the-go.

It’s not realistic to sit around making bone broth 24/7.

Because of that, I will share some of my recommendations for packaged bone broths from time-to-time.

Top 3 Ways to Use Kettle & Fire

Here are 5 ways to use the bone broth:

1. Drink as-is. That’s right; nothing more, and nothing less.
2. Use a base for anything.
3. Freeze into cubes for easy broth-enhancements.
