Bone Broth Nutrients
The nutrients in bone broth are a wonder of nature, a food source that helps us take care of ourselves inside and out. And from tradition to science. What nutrients does bone broth contain that are so good for us?
What nutrients does bone broth have ?
Bone broth is rich in collagen and minerals . It is also a natural source of other amino acids such as proline, glycine or glutamine. And what are they for? Here we explain all its properties
PROLINE
Proline is a NON-essential amino acid that our body can synthesize from glutamic acid. Proline plays an essential role in protein synthesis, particularly collagen synthesis.
Its functions include:
Strengthens joints and tendons.
Helps in strengthening the heart muscles.
Participates in collagen synthesis.
It improves skin texture.
Helps in the regeneration of tissues and mucous membranes.
It helps in the immunity of our body by being related to the maintenance of some immunoglobulins.
WISTERY
Glycine is a non-essential amino acid, which, in certain situations such as injuries, diseases or joint inflammation, can become essential, since we are not able to produce the necessary quantities.
Its functions include:
Maintains proper healing function.
Essential for collagen synthesis.
Promotes the production of growth hormone.
Helps proper brain functioning.
Helps regulate blood sugar levels.
It acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.
COLLAGEN
What is collagen and what is it for?
It is the most abundant protein in the body and is found in our skin, as well as in connective tissues such as joints and tendons; It holds bones and muscles together, and maintains the lining of the intestine.
Why is it so important to take collagen?
Collagen makes up almost a third of our total protein mass. It also used to represent a relevant part of our diet. And currently that is not the case. If we add to this fact that collagen synthesis is reduced with age, it is very important to ensure sufficient raw material to maintain its production. Furthermore, in women, the drop in estrogen during menopause further reduces collagen synthesis.
Bone broth is a natural source of collagen and naturally contains the cofactors that help maintain collagen in the body.
JELLY
Gelatin is nothing more than cooked collagen. Once it cools, it solidifies and acquires a gel texture. And if you cool your broth and you get gelatin, it is an excellent sign of the presence of collagen. Cooldo Broths of course is pure gelatin.
GLUTAMINE
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in our body, it helps regenerate tissues, has an important role in digestive health and promotes optimal immune function. Glutamine guarantees the integrity of the intestinal wall and helps us preserve our muscle mass.
GLYCOSAMINOGLYANS
They are complex carbohydrates that participate in many biological processes. They are essential to maintain connective tissue and synovial fluid, the lubricant that surrounds our joints, in good condition. Hyaluronic acid, chondroitin and glucosamine are glycosaminoglycans.
MINERALS
Animal bones are a very rich source of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and zinc. To extract the maximum amount of minerals, it is key to add a splash of vinegar or other acid.
At Cooldo we always source the highest quality raw materials and of course we add unfiltered apple cider vinegar to our bone broth recipe to get the most out of its nutrients. Now that you know all the nutrients in bone broth , how are you going to integrate Cooldo into your diet?
