Bone Broth’s origins: an age-old recipe
While, today, Bone Broth is a wellness favourite for those looking for a reset, this superfood is rooted in an age-old ritual. The idea of slowly simmering bones and cartilage in water, often alongside vegetables and herbs, to extract their minerals, collagen and gelatine can be traced back to cultures all across the world:
-
Among Indigenous peoples and in traditional cuisine throughout history, it was first and foremost a way to limit waste and make use of every part of an animal – bones and cartilage were simmered to provide nutrients and make the most of a successful hunt.
-
In China, traditional Chinese medicine recommended this rich broth to support digestion, boost vital energy (known as Qi) and promote longevity.
-
In medieval Europe, broth was (and still is to some degree) considered a comforting, time-honoured home remedy, traditionally given to those who were sick or recovering from illness, as well as new mothers, to help restore strength and vitality
And while, over the centuries, Bone Broth has become a true holistic ritual, its popularity really took off with the rise of the Paleo movement in the US in the 2000s. Today, it is celebrated for its benefits for the skin, immune system, joints and digestion, as well as for its deeply comforting nature.
What are the benefits of Bone Broth?
Far more than a simple broth, Bone Broth is packed with nutrients. Slow-cooked for hours on end, it’s uniquely rich in collagen, as well as minerals and amino acids, making it your beauty and wellness best friend. It can help support:
-
Softer, more radiant-looking skin – thanks to collagen naturally released from bones and cartilage, the broth helps maintain skin elasticity and firmness while supporting deep hydration.
-
Comfortable joints – the gelatine derived from collagen nourishes connective tissues and supports mobility, contributing to daily well-being.
-
A calmer digestive system – its amino acids, including glutamine, help strengthen and protect the intestinal lining, helping ease digestion.
-
A revitalising mineral boost – from calcium to magnesium and phosphorus, Bone Broth provides essential minerals that contribute to overall balance and vitality.
Why is Bone Broth particularly ideal during pregnancy and the post-partum period?
Can you consume Bone Broth every day?
Yes, Bone Broth can be consumed daily, making it an easy holistic ritual to integrate into your wellness routine. Enjoyed regularly, it provides a natural source of collagen, minerals and amino acids, offering lasting support for joints, digestion, immunity and radiant skin.
If you already take collagen daily, a 3g sachet can complement your Bone Broth routine, with the two formats offering distinct yet complementary benefits. While Bone Broth may deliver an immediate skin-plumping effect, collagen powder works over the longer term, supporting joint health and skin radiance while helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. We recommend spacing out your Bone Broth and collagen supplement intake, as the body can only absorb so much collagen at once.
