I was listening to a podcast yesterday where they discussed if collagen peptides would be as effective as consuming the bone itself due to a lack of research on the benefits of collagen peptides. I thought that it would also be wise to destroy bones for protein and all nutrients they contain.

Scientific proof of bone broth: the world study
Bone broth is one of the oldest remedies that are handed down from generation to generation. However, it is unclear when and where the bone broth is first used as a remedy. The earliest written evidence dates back to 1873 BC, in Chinese manuscripts; however, archaeologists found that already since 10 thousand years ago, people have used the bones and the broth to cure many diseases.
A group of scientists from many countries worldwide headed by Prof. Colin Champ, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, began to research the effects of bone broth on humans.
They studied two groups: one received nothing but broth, and another was given only drugs. Again, the results were terrific: subjects who drank only broth healed faster and experienced more minor symptoms.
The group who received drug treatment not only did not heal but got worse and more symptoms appeared. Scientists note that this is very important because they prove scientifically what many grandmothers already know: broth heals!

Best bone broth soup recipe
necessary ingredients for healthy chicken bones broth:
– 1 tbsp. coconut oil
– 3 garlic cloves, chopped
– 1 onion, roughly chopped
– 2 carrots, peeled and diced
– 1 celery stalk, roughly chopped
– 2 bay leaves
– 1 tsp. sea salt (or Himalayan salt)
– 1 tsp. black pepper
– 4 quarts (16 cups) of water
You will also need:
– A Crockpot or a stockpot – the latter can be much more efficient because it has a broader surface, so less heat is required to keep the liquid simmering.
Preparation method for healthy chicken bones broth:
1. Put the onion, carrots, and celery into a huge pot or Crockpot
2. Pour coconut oil over the ingredients and saute them for 5 minutes over medium heat (in a Crockpot, set it to “High”) until they begin to soften
3. Add water and all remaining ingredients and bring to a boil
4. Reduce heat and simmer for 20–24 hours (in a Crockpot, cook on “LOW” setting if you want it done in less than 24 hours); the longer it cooks, the better it tastes!
5. Strain broth through fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl
6. Allow the broth to cool and then place it into containers of your choice for refrigeration
7. Refrigerate overnight; after that, the fat will have solidified on top, making it easier to remove if desired (I like to leave it altogether)
8. Broth can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for several months.
Soak time:
– All ingredients should be added to a large pot and covered with 4 quarts (16 cups) water;
– Let it sit from 6 to 24 hours, but no less than 8 hours. After that, drain the liquid into a sink through a cheesecloth or a fine-mesh strainer. You can refrigerate it immediately, but you have to reheat it before consuming it.
Good to know:
1. This is an excellent method for utilizing all types of leftover bones from whole chickens, chicken parts, beefsteak, and even beef marrow bones! Just freeze them until you are ready to make the broth
2. Exactly how many vegetables you add is up to you and your taste preference, but I would not recommend adding only one or two since this will result in a rather weak-tasting broth
3. Every time you reheat this healthy chicken bones broth, bring it to a boil and then reduce heat and let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes
4. Remove any scum or oil that floats to the top while it is cooling.
5. If you have a pressure cooker, use it! Set the range on your stove and once it gets hot, reduce heat and let it produce a steady stream of vapor for about 3 hours.
6. If you want to collect the fat in the jar when you store the broth in your fridge, leave it overnight and then take off this layer in the morning.
7. Keep in mind that during cooking, some of the nutrients will evaporate, so what you get in glass jars is not 100% of what was in the pot.
8. You can add some salt during cooking, but remember that it will get more concentrated while simmering, so you should probably add only half of what you would usually use.
9. Never throw away chicken feet! They are a great addition to any pot of broth, and they contain lots of natural gelatin, which is very good for your skin, hair, and nails.
10. If you want to drink this broth daily, just add some warm water to it; otherwise, let it cool completely before refrigerating or freezing.
Preparation time:
5 minutes; cooking time: 24 hours (or 8-12 hours in a pressure cooker); yields 16 cups of healthy homemade bone broth.
