Ancient Nutrition's Bone Broth Proteins + Easy Soup Recipes
As a natural source of collagen and protein, plus other beneficial compounds that support healthy skin, joints, hair, nails, immune and digestive function, bone broth is just what your body needs to power through the colder seasons!
You can, of course, make your own bone broth, but even easier are bone broth powders that can be mixed with hot water, and Ancient Nutrition’s Bone Broth Proteins, are a powder sourced from real bone broth, that are a convenient and concentrated way to reap the many benefits of traditional bone broth on a regular basis.
What Is Bone Broth?
Bone broth is a nutrient-filled stock made from slowly simmered animal bones and connective tissues. There are many different types of bone broth, such as chicken, beef or fish broths.
Not only can you sip on bone broth as a comforting and health-minded drink, you can also use bone broth protein powder supplements to almost instantly mix up a cup of nourishing broth.
In fact, Ancient Nutrition’s chicken–based Bone Broth Protein formulas are 3x as potent as homemade broth, making it simple to support a healthy gut, joints and response to inflammation.
Main Components of Bone Broth
What is bone broth good for? It all comes down to the beneficial amino acids and compounds found within real bone broth. These are responsible for Bone Broth Protein's ability to support healthy skin, joints, gut function, nails and more.
The best bone broth features collagen protein and a range of important amino acids (the “building blocks of protein”), plus minerals and beneficial compounds including glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid.
Amino acids: You’ll find 18 amino acids in every serving of Ancient Nutrition’s Bone Broth Protein. Amino acids are involved in almost every biological process and aid in normal muscle growth, hormone production, healthy cognitive function, appetite control and more.
Type II collagen: This is the type of collagen found in your gut lining, joints and cartilage. It helps to build and promote healthy connective tissues, acting as the “glue” that holds the body together.
Joint-supporting compounds: Something unique about chicken–based Bone Broth Protein is that it provides glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid, all of which help support your joints and cartilage in moving smoothly and absorbing shock. These compounds are hard to find in many protein sources, making Bone Broth Protein a valuable tool for supporting healthy aging and more.
How long does it take to see the benefits of drinking bone broth?
This depends on how often you drink bone broth, plus your general health. Everyone is different and will have a different experience when using the product. What matters most is consistency.
You may start to experience joint, skin and nails benefits over time. It can vary from person to person. Some see benefits earlier than others.
Is it okay to drink bone broth before bed?
Bone broth can be enjoyed at any time of day, depending on what works best for you. Although some prefer starting their mornings with a hot cup of bone broth or a smoothie made with Bone Broth Protein, drinking bone broth before bed is perfectly fine as well. Some also enjoy a cup of bone broth in the afternoon to keep the munchies at bay.
The most important thing is to find what works for your schedule and stick to it!
