Bone Broth Instant Soup - Grass-fed Beef from Broth of Life

The use of bone broth is hundreds of years old. Broth was seen as very nutritious by our ancestors, who believed in its health benefits. The bones and joints of grass-fed cattle contain a wide variety of essential nutrients which our modern diet not always offers in abundance. Bone broth is also an efficient and natural way to supply your body with gelatin. Broth of Life's natural bone broth is now also available in the form of instant soup. This variant is not only rich in nutrients, renewed in taste and versatile in use, the broth powder is also completely soluble!

What makes Broth of Life bone broth so special?

Bone broths come in various qualities, as becomes clear when you understand what it takes to make a good bone broth. Broth of Life has put together a number of beautiful bone broths that are very special for several reasons. First, the water used for the bone broth is filtered three times through a special system to ensure that there is no chlorine or fluoride in the water. The soup is then made, with plenty of time and attention dedicated, through a manual and extremely careful production process. Part of this process is to simmer for a minimum of 24 hours so that collagen and other nutritious components that animal bones and connective tissues are naturally rich in are given time to release.

Broth of Life has an edge over competitors in this field through its years of research and product development. For example, Broth of Life was the first worldwide to dehydrate its products in order to package them in a handy powder form that has a long shelf life and is easy to use. In addition, Broth of Life broth is the world's first 100% certified bone broth! Broth of Life considers it very important to be transparent about all ingredients used. This way you can be sure that you get a high-quality product when choosing Broth of Life's nutritious 'golden elixirs'—as the company itself likes to call this line of broths.

Bone broth, an ancient tradition

Well before pots and pans were invented, our ancestors drank bone broth to feed and heal themselves. This traditional drink dates back to the Stone Age, when it was made by adding hot stones to pouches made from animal skin, to which water, animal meat, fat and bones were then added. In more recent times, some 22,000 years ago, pots were used in China filled with animal bones, meat and water. Such a pot was put on the fire, where the brew turned into a delicious bone broth while simmering. The same ancient techniques are still used to create this nutritious soup. Made from organic animal food sources, a good bone broth, is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids and bioavailable collagen, which makes the fluid not only a delicious drink, but also a traditional superfood. It is for a reason that it is recognized worldwide as one of the most powerful and nutritious natural food sources available.

The secret of bone broth

Real food is not only a means to satisfy hunger, it is also nutritious and beneficial for the body. For example, bone broth is rich in bioavailable collagen and contains easily digestible amino acids, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. Collagen is the most abundant protein in our body: it forms bones, teeth, tendons, ligaments, joints and cartilage, among other tissues. In addition, it takes care of your hair, skin and nails and the hollow organs that make up our digestive system (the esophagus, stomach and small intestine). In bone broth collagen is broken down (denatured) into gelatin, rendering it easily absorbable by the body. In addition to gelatin, bone broth also contains special carbohydrates, which occur naturally in the connective tissues. These are glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), the most familiar of which are hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, chondroitin and n-acetylglucosamine.

The importance of collagen for our body

Collagen accounts for 25% to 35% of the total protein content in our body. The important protein consists of amino acids and peptides, which our cells use as building blocks to produce the large collagen triple helix structure. This structure ensures that tissues and fibers in our body maintain their strength, cohesion and flexibility. From the age of about 25 the body's production of collagen decreases and it is useful to provide our body with sufficient collagen through food. There are distinct types of collagen: types I, II and III are the most important. More than 90% of the collagen in our body consists of type I collagen. Type II collagen is found in joints, ribs, nose, larynx and intervertebral discs, while type III is common in the skin and blood vessels. Bovine collagen is the most widely used source of collagen in collagen supplements and consists mainly of type I and type III collagen.

Bone broth versus collagen hydrolysate

In bone broth made from high-quality animal food sources, collagen is converted into gelatin through the slow heating process, which is then easily absorbed by the body. Bone broth gelatin consists of several types of collagen and contains essential nutrients, including useful minerals, fats and special carbohydrates (glycosaminoglycans, often shortened to GAGs). Collagen hydrolysate is a progressively processed form of gelatin, in which proteins are broken up into smaller pieces by means of enzymes. Collagen hydrolysate does not contain the extra nutrients found in bone broth. However, both forms contain the main essential amino acids, are easily absorbed and have the same nutritious properties.

Scarce amino acids

Proteins are made up of building blocks called amino acids. These amino acids, 22 in total, are divided into essential and non-essential amino acids. The human body itself can produce non-essential amino acids. This is not the case for the essential amino acids, rendering it essential that you acquire these amino acids through either your diet or supplements. The amino acid profile in bone broth is quite unique: it contains high concentrations of glycine, glutamine, arginine and proline. They are all essential amino acids.

Eating from head to tail

The head-to-tail principle refers to an ethical and sustainable method of meat processing in which all parts of an animal are used for consumption. Traditionally it was commonplace to use an animal to its fullest after being slaughtered, but in today’s Western society we commonly limit the parts of an animal we use. A shame -- because eating organs and glands is very rewarding! Wisdom that traditional healers from ancient cultures already knew how to implement. It makes sense: the human body is composed of a very specific intermixture of nutrients, enzymes, and bioactive substances that, on consumption in the form of animal organs, support the entirety of the body and fit the nutritional needs of the corresponding organs in that human body. For optimal sustenance, you may choose a supplement with specific glands or organs to replenish nutrients. Anyone who eats according to the principles of evolutionary food believes that our body has a way of directly integrating the nutrients of healthy animal organs. A great example of Mother Nature's work!
