The nutrient content of bone broth completely depends upon the ingredients and their quality used in the recipe.
Bone contains minerals calcium and phosphorus. Sodium, magnesium, and potassium may also be present but the quantity depends upon the type of bone used.
Connective tissue provides glucosamine and chondroitin. Both are very beneficial in arthritis and joint pain.
All the above-mentioned items i.e, bone, marrow, and connective tissue contain protein collagen. This protein collagen turns to gelatin when cooked. This gelatin has a very unique amino acid profile, mainly high in amino acid glycine.
The nutrition of each broth may vary based on the recipe. A beef bone broth is a meaty bone broth and it may be best in terms of nutrition as well as taste. Those who are not a huge meat-eater may prefer a poultry-based broth that uses chicken or turkey bones.
