The use of bone broth as a healing agent, particularly in the area of gut health is of most importance because of its connection to other chronic health problems.
For optimal gut health, always ensure that your bone broth is preservative free, to negate risks associated with preservatives, colorants and artificial flavorings.
Gelatin, found in quality bone broth, helps to repair the intestinal lining and reduce inflammation in our digestive organs.
Common digestive issues including bloating , abdominal pain, constipation, and loose stool may also suggest an issue with inflammation.
Chronic inflammation throughout the body can contribute to leaky gut syndrome, which can cause bacteria and toxins to “leak” through the intestinal wall into the rest of the body. A “leaky gut ” can further fuel ongoing systemic inflammation and contribute to digestive symptoms such as abdominal distention and irregular bowel movements.
Further studies from the Scientific World Journal shows that gelatine alone can boost intestinal health and integrity. As a bonus, research tells us that people with digestive issues are often lacking in collagen, which is a second important substance found in quality bone broth.
