Best Of The Bone Bone Broth Concentrate Original

Best of the Bone is an all-natural grass-fed beef bone broth concentrate that is a true collagen, mineral and amino acid-rich living gelatin. Gluten, antibiotic and dairy free - just pure bone broth with no additives aside from Celtic sea salt. Nearly 40% collagen protein absorbed at a much higher rate than other collagen sources thanks to important healthy fats (the most efficient fuel source for your body and critical for the absorption of vitamins and micronutrients by the body!) and with 19 key and essential amino acids that you need to survive and thrive. The typical bone broth is 2%-4% collagen. Best of the Bone is 10-20x higher.

A daily tablespoon of the delicious Best of the Bone turns a mug of hot water and some vegetables, meats and/or spices to add for taste into a fabulously healthy, nutrient-dense meal. We find its a great way to start the day. Or end it. Add it to your soup, sauce and gravy recipes for flavour and nutrition for the whole family.

How Do They Make It:

Using certified grass-fed and finished beef leg bone (highest in marrow and essential fatty acids including a near ideal ratio of omega 6 to omega 3) and cartilage. High in omega 3 EPA and DHA . These are the two critical essential fatty acids - many plants may contain ALA. ALA does not readily convert into EPA or DHA which are the critical essential fats for brain and cardiovascular health. We slow-cook Best of the Bone for 48 hours - ensuring maximum nutrient extraction from the cooked bones. The result is a thick, marrow-rich, nutrient dense bone broth extract extremely high in natural, un-denatured bioavailable collagen.

Research and studies have shown:

• Helps your body absorb micro and macro-nutrients due to the gelatin and healthy fats (in other words, it makes your good foods healthier).
• Supports joint and bone health.
• Increases bone density and lean muscle mass.
• Is a powerful anti-inflammatory.
• Heals gut health including colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, leaky gut, and even used as a critical first step to treat
• Crohn's Disease and colities.
• Improves skin elasticity and reduces wrinkles (overall improvement in skin health).
• Improves immune system.
• FODMAPs friendly and part of the GAPs diet.

Suggested for detox programs, joint disease sufferers, the very active and for overall health.

CONTAINS: Cartilage * Essential Amino Acids * Collagen * Protein * Minerals

Best of the Bone delivers:

Cartilage

Cartilage is formed primarily from collagen and elastin proteins and contains glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), chondroitin sulphate, keratin sulfate and hyaluronic acid. What does this mean? Renowned researcher, doctor and nutritional consultant Dr. Cate Shanahan said of glycosaminoglycans, you won't find this in anything else you eat. It is so essential to our bodies it deserves its own group on the food pyramid, "it literally has an effect like a growth hormone that people inject themselves with."

And chondroitin sulfate is a structural component of cartilage and is essential in maintaining the integrity of your cells. It also lines the blood vessels and has been found to play a role in lowering cholesterol and the incidence of heart attacks. It is often sold as a supplement for treating joint pain associated with osteoarthritis and has been shown to improve inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract.

Best of the Bone is the most absorbable and effective delivery of broth benefits thanks in large part to the long cooking time and maximum nutrient extraction. This results in a high marrow content which delivers the rich flavour but also healthy essential fats from the bones (yes, the leg bone is high in omega fatty acids) The collagen, amino acids, minerals, glucosamine and chondroitin found in Best of the Bone can be useful in the treatment of:

• Arthritis
• Degenerative joint disease
• Inflammatory bowel disease
• Lowered immune function

KEY AMINO ACIDS INCLUDING GLYCINE, PROLINE AND GLUTAMINE

Glycine and proline are particularly important amino acids present in bone broth. Glycine is a simple amino acid necessary in the manufacture of other amino acids. It is a vital component in the production of heme, the part of the blood that carries oxygen. It is also involved in glucogenesis (the manufacture of glucose), supports digestion by enhancing gastric acid secretion, and is essential for wound healing. It is a precursor amino acid for glutathione and large amounts are needed for the liver to detoxify after chemical exposure.

Broths can be used in modified fasting and cleansing programs. In these situations, glycine is used to support phase I and II detoxification. During fasting, because little or no food or energy source is being consumed, protein tissues such as muscle often break down. With broth, glycine is consumed, which limits or prevents degeneration during the fast and is also beneficial to the detoxification process.

Proline is an amino acid essential to the structure of collagen and is therefore necessary for healthy bones, skin, ligaments, tendons and cartilage. It is found in small amounts in many foods, but vitamin C is necessary to metabolize proline into its active form. Small amounts can be manufactured by the body, but evidence shows that adequate dietary protein - such as present in Best of the Bone - is necessary to maintain an optimal level of proline in the body. It has also been shown to have a beneficial effect on memory and in the prevention of depression. Glycine and proline are needed for:

• Manufacture of glucose
• Enhancing gastric acid secretion
• Soft tissue and wound healing
• Healthy connective tissue
• Effective detoxification by the liver
• Production of plasma

Collagen and Gelatin

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. It is present in bones, ligaments, tendons and skin (type 1 collagen), in cartilage (type II collagen), and in bone marrow and lymph (also called reticulin fiber). Gelatin refers to the extracted cooked collagen that is used as food.

Bone broth produces a rubbery gelatine when cooled - and the "Best of the Bone" consists of a thick, gelatin liquid. Broth made from bones produces a highly nutritious gelatin that contains a wide range of minerals and amino acids.

Gelatin has been found to help heal the mucus membranes of the gastrointestinal tract in cases of inflammation such as irritable bowel syndrome or in "leaky gut syndrome".

Gelatin is rich in the amino acids proline and glycine. Dr. N.R. Gotthoffeer spent 20 years studying gelatin and found that convalescing adults who have lost weight due to surgery, dysentery, cancer and other diseases fare much better if gelatin is added to their diet. Studies on gelatin show that it increases the digestion and utilisation of many dietary proteins such as beans, meat and dairy. Collagen is helpful in:

• Soft tissue and wound healing
• Formation and repair of cartilage and bone
• Healing and coating the mucus membranes of the gastrointestinal tract
• Facilitating digestion and assimilation of proteins and minerals

Rebuilding the Body

Bone broth contains bone marrow which has myeloid and lymphoid stem cells. The foundations for red and white blood cells, these cells build immunity, assist with blood clotting and help provide oxygen to cells. Collagen, the protein-rich substance that cooks down to gelatin, can also help repair the body. Collagen deficiency can lead to poor wound healing, easy bruising and bleeding gums. Collagen in bone marrow can help the body rebuild itself, says Micleu.

Easing Digestion and Healing the GI Tract

Dr. Auer prescribes bone marrow in the form of bone broth to his patients suffering from inflammatory conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, gluten intolerance and leaky gut syndrome. He notes that, for people with digestive disorders who may have trouble digesting supplements or other certain foods, bone marrow's collagen can provide nutrition while rebuilding damaged tissues and intestinal lining. Marrow's immune-boosting capabilities can also speed up the healing process for people trying to overcome these conditions, he says.
