Or, make your own using his Brodo book with the recipes below, like we do, and save yourself a lot of money for a little investment of time and get the same great benefits. The Brodo website states the following:
Bone Broth Benefits
A well-made broth like Brodo offers all the benefits of meat without the bulk.
Protein-Packed
Bone broth is loaded with proteins that your body can rapidly absorb. In liquid form, these proteins are broken down into valuable amino acids like proline, glycine, glutamine, and arginine. Your body needs these important building blocks for healthy skin, bones and joints.
Brodo bone broth is a low carb, low calorie, zero-sugar food. Our broth is a great meal replacement—it has more protein and fewer carbs than green juice, and is less likely to cause blood-sugar levels to spike.
Gut Healer
Brodo is one of the best things you can consume to maintain a healthy gut, which is essential to overall wellness. The gelatin in Brodo contains glutamine, which effectively plugs the holes in the lining of the digestive tract like spackle on a pitted wall.
The gelatin in bone broth also helps during digestion, making it easier to break down food and absorb nutrients.
Beauty Booster
Healthy hair, skin & nails require collagen—a crucial protein found in the tendons & ligaments of beef and poultry. When you cook down bones for broth, that collagen breaks down into gelatin (which is easier for the body to digest).
Detox Aid
Brodo is a natural detox aid. The glycine in our broth supports your liver’s ability to remove toxins, ranging from pesticides and mercury to prescription drugs and alcohol. Glycine is also a key building block for glutathione, a helpful antioxidant for anti-aging, fighting chronic disease, and cleansing your liver.
Immunity Builder
The cold-fighting power of a good chicken soup is not just some old myth. A well-made chicken bone broth contains cysteine, an amino acid that has been shown to thin the mucus in your lungs and make it less sticky, so you can expel it more easily.
