High protein content and natural source of collagen. What nutrients does bone broth have? Bone broth is rich in collagen and minerals. It is also a natural source of other amino acids such as proline, glycine and glutamine. And what are they good for? Here we explain all their properties. Proline Proline is a non-essential amino acid that our body can synthesize from glutamic acid. Proline plays an essential role in protein synthesis, in particular in collagen synthesis. Its functions include: Strengthens joints and tendons. Helps in strengthening the heart muscles. Participates in collagen synthesis. Improves skin texture. Helps in the regeneration of tissues and mucous membranes. It helps in the immunity of our body by being related to the maintenance of some immunoglobulins. Glycine Glycine is a non-essential amino acid, which, in certain situations such as injuries, diseases or joint inflammation, can become essential, since we are not able to produce the necessary quantities. Its functions include: Maintains proper healing function. Essential for collagen synthesis. Promotes the production of growth hormone. It helps the brain to function properly. Helps regulate blood sugar levels. It acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Collagen What is collagen and what is it used for? It is the most abundant protein in the body and is found in our skin as well as connective tissues such as joints and tendons; it holds bones and muscles together, and maintains the lining of the intestine. Why is it so important to take collagen? Collagen accounts for almost a third of our total protein mass. It used to be a significant part of our diet. Nowadays, this is no longer the case. If we add to this fact that collagen synthesis is reduced with age, it is extremely important to ensure that we have enough raw material to maintain its production. In addition, in women, the drop in estrogen during menopause further reduces collagen synthesis. Bone broth is a natural source of collagen and naturally contains the cofactors that help maintain collagen in the body. Gelatin Gelatin is nothing more than cooked collagen. Once it cools, it solidifies and takes on a gel-like texture. If you cool your broth and get gelatin, it is an excellent sign of the presence of collagen. Cooled broth is of course pure gelatin. Glutamine Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in our body, it helps regenerate tissues, plays an important role in digestive health and promotes optimal immune function. Glutamine ensures the integrity of the intestinal wall and helps us maintain our muscle mass. Glycosaminoglycans They are complex carbohydrates that are involved in many biological processes. They are essential for maintaining connective tissue and synovial fluid, the lubricant that surrounds our joints, in good condition. Hyaluronic acid, chondroitin and glucosamine are glycosaminoglycans. Minerals Animal bones are a very rich source of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and zinc. To extract the maximum amount of minerals, it is key to add a splash of vinegar or another acid. At cooldo we always source the highest quality raw materials and of course we add unfiltered apple cider vinegar to our bone broth recipe to get the most out of its nutrients. For those who want to add extra nutrients to their diet by including bone broth in their daily diet. Food ready for consumption. It is recommended to shake and heat before consuming. You can take it alone or add it to your smoothies, your creams or your stews, always as part of a balanced diet. Cooldo Broths are stored at room temperature, that is, in the pantry until the expiration date indicated on the packaging. Once opened, it should be kept in the refrigerator and consumed within 3 days. When cold it will turn into gelatin. It is proof that Cooldo broths are pure collagen When you heat it, it will return to its liquid state and the fat will dissolve, giving it a touch of flavor and nutrients.
