Since I’ve been drinking bone broth I have noticed significant changes in my body. First and most important is that my eliminations have really improved. Also my irritable bowel symptoms overall are gone. The Grass-fed Bone broth also eliminated my knee pain.
The Benefits of CLA From Grass-Fed Animal Bones
Before I starting making the bone broth for our local community I did a lot of research. It turns out that the marrow from grass-fed animals has an abundance of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), which is a polyunsaturated fatty acid. CLA has been shown to heal leaky gut disease, fight cancer and provide collagen to heal injured joints. The bone marrow and fat from healthy grass-fed cows are two of the top sources of CLA. (1)
Mom’s have been recommending it as the cure for many common ailments we associate with a need to improve immunity based on simple observation that it make people feel better. While the scientific community is still studying the exact mechanisms associated with bone broth benefits, bone broth has been used for hundreds if not thousands of years by moms all over the world.
Little did moms know that they were years ahead of the scientists discussed in this article who have identified links between managing illness with the components found in bone broth. The article below talks to this.
