Bone broth is the ultimate recovery drink.
Collagen found in quality bone broth improves joint pain in athletes both during and post exercise. Collagen combined with sufficient Vitamin C intake also assist in tendon repair and injury prevention.
If we dig a little deeper, glycine makes up more than one-third of the collagen protein which is abundant in our bone broth.
Glycine is important for the synthesis of hemoglobin and myoglobin which transport oxygen throughout the blood and muscle tissue.
It is also necessary for the synthesis of creatine. Increased creatine can lead to an increase in anaerobic (high-intensity) exercise capacity and stimulate the secretion of human growth hormone which may enhance muscle repair.
Hydrating broth helps to replenish electrolytes like sodium and potassium that are lost during exercise.
Incorporating quality bone broth into your daily diet, helps to speed up the recovery, reduces inflammation, allowing muscles and joints to heal quicker, and enabling us to get back on track and into the gym faster!
