Bone Broth and Gut Health

Bone broth is revered for its rich nutrient profile and potential benefits for gut health. It's a potent source of collagen, gelatin, and amino acids like glutamine, which can support the intestinal lining and aid digestion. These nutrients are also believed to help reduce inflammation and promote healthy gut flora, potentially improving overall gut health. Let’s make a bone broth soup.
