Bone Broth
WHAT IS BONE BROTH?
Bones and connective tissues are slow cooked to create a gelatinous, nutrient-dense superfood. It is easily digested, even when other foods are not. A highly bioavailable source of protein, minerals, and beneficial nutrients, broth has been used worldwide in nourishing traditions to heal and restore gut health.
HOW IS IT USEFUL?
Good health relies upon a well functioning intestinal wall. The intestinal wall can be damaged by processed and inappropriate foods, medications, stress and various other factors. This causes the wall to become leaky (known as increased intestinal permeability), beneficial nutrients are lost and toxins can get through.
A leaky gut can cause and contribute to a host of conditions, including:
- Skin and ear problems
- Urinary tract issues
- Joint disease
- Dental disease
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Autoimmune conditions
Bone broth is usually well tolerated when the intestinal wall is leaky and may promote a reduction in permeability.
