How is Nutra Organics bone broth made?

The bone broth experts, Nutra Organics have perfected their recipe over many years. Roasted beef or chicken bones are added to a mixture of filtered water and organic apple cider vinegar, then slow cooked for 48 hours. Apple cider vinegar is used to extract the maximum amount of minerals from the roasted bones.

After slow cooking, the resulting broth is strained for impurities and any fat is removed from the top of the pot. The strained broth is then turned into a powder using refractance drying.

What recipes can benefit from the inclusion of bone broth?

Bone broth can be used in a wide range of recipes. Including bone broth in your cooking is a convenient and simple way to boost your consumption of essential vitamins and minerals. Consider some of these options for your daily bone broth intake:

• Drink replacement: Many people simply enjoy the taste of bone broth on its own. Consider using it to replace your morning coffee, or add some seasoning and enjoy it as a pre-meal beverage.
• Soups and stews: You can add bone broth to almost any soup base or stew, instantly adding extra nutrition to your bowl.
• Stuffing: Adding bone broth can enhance the flavour of your stuffing and complements the other ingredients well.
• Mashed potato: For a twist on classic mashed potatoes, add half a cup of bone broth, some garlic butter and green onion to your potato side dish.
• Vegetables: Any recipe using a green vegetable base such as spinach, broccoli or green beans will absorb bone broth well during the cooking process. Top with garlic and butter for a dish sure to impress.

What are the health benefits of bone broth from brands like Nutra Organics?

It is estimated that as many as 92% of adults have at least one vitamin deficiency. If you are not consuming the recommended amount of vitamins and minerals, bone broth is an easy way to address nutritional gaps in your diet. Bone broth health benefits may include:

• Anti-ageing qualities: Bone broth is rich in collagen, the protein responsible for promoting elasticity, hydration and the healthy appearance of skin and cartilage. Collagen may also improve bone density in post-menopausal women. (2)
• Improved digestion and gut health: Gelatine is one of the key proteins found in bone broth. Gelatine has been linked to healthy digestion in humans. Although more study is needed, gelatine has also been linked to therapeutic benefits in inflammatory bowel disease in animals. (3)
• Immune system support: Maintaining a healthy gut barrier is key to supporting your immune system. Amino acids such as glutamine have been linked to protecting the intestinal barrier in critically ill patients. (4)
• Bone and joint health: Some studies have found that the collagen found in chicken cartilage may help to improve pain, joint function and stiffness in osteoarthritis patients. (5) Gelatine found in bone broth may also be beneficial in tissue repair and injury prevention.

How much bone broth should you have per day?

Many health enthusiasts believe that bone broth is more effective when consumed regularly. Some studies suggest that to maximise your potential health benefits, you should drink around one cup of bone broth per day (1). If you don’t enjoy the taste or texture of bone broth on its own, incorporating it into your meals is a good alternative.

Summary

Bone broth is a fast and efficient way to address nutritional gaps in your diet and ensure you’re consuming more vitamins and minerals. Easily added to recipes such as soups, stews and side dishes, bone broth is also a delicious option on its own.

To start enjoying potential health benefits such as anti-ageing properties, strong bones and improved gut health, consider incorporating Nutra Organics bone broth into your diet today.
