The prolonged simmering time of bone broth extracts these minerals into the liquid.

A compromised or 'leaky' gut barrier impairs immune functions as particles seep through the intestinal lining and trigger an immune response. Studies show that glutamine and glycine, as found in bone broth, support healthy gut function, intestinal immunity, and microbial diversity.

Bone broth contains several amino acids that support and boost the immune system. In addition to glutamine and glycine, bone broth is rich in arginine. Arginine helps the immune system and liver function properly. 


Drinking bone broth may detoxify your body by strengthening and cleansing the liver, enabling it to remove and filter toxins.

The bone and cartilage used in organic chicken broth, lamb bone broth, and other broth recipes contain varying collagen levels. Collagen makes up one-third of the protein in our bodies and is found in our muscles, skin, bones, and blood.


Although collagen doesn't directly help with colds, it can help boost immune system function. Collagen is made from an amino acid chain that includes glutamine. In addition to the digestive benefits discussed above, glutamine repairs and stimulates immune cells and helps maintain a strong immune system. 


Using bone broth to increase your bioavailable collagen intake can strengthen connective tissues and boost your immunity.
