How Can Our Broth Help Your Body

1. Detoxifies and Anti-Aging
We live and eat a toxic world. No matter how much you avoid toxins, we ingest them. And even if we are super clean living, our body still needs rest and the liver will always need support. In order to do this, we must help the liver do its job by supplying it with the number one amino acid to aid detoxification, glycine. We ensure there is plenty of collagen in our mixes, so that each cup is full of glycine, which allows the body to produce glutathione, the master anti-oxidant of the cells. And because we supercharge our broth with plant and herbs, you will receive the added benefit of all the flavanoids as additional support. If you are eating muscle-meat regularly, it is vital to have glycine in the diet to balance your methylation.
2. Heals The Gut
The gut is often referred to as the second brain and one of the most important factors of our immune system. The gut mucosa connects with the largest population of immune cells in the body, gastrointestinal immune cells, which come from the lymphoid branch of the immune system. So there is a clear connection between immune health and gut microbiome. Unfortunately, our modern lifestyle often does damage to this vital system in our bodies and can lead to some degree of leaky gut syndrome, which can cause a whole slew of problems. Besides eating real, simple foods, broth is a wonderful way to infuse the gut with a rich supply of gelatin, which acts a natural 'spackle' to help fill these repair the gut lining.
3. Improves Joints: Anti-Inflammatory
Because the broth is slow cooked for at least 24 hours, we are able to pull chondroitin sulphates and glucosamine from the bones. Not only does our broth contain the popular chondroitan sulphates, but Chicago Bone Broth can also contain the whole family of glycoaaminoglycates (GAGs), which all work in synergy to bring fluid to your joints, keeping them fresh and fluid. Not to mention broth contains high doses of arginine, which helps to fight systemic inflammation, all good for keeping your body running smooth!

Ginger and Turmeric, Why?
Ginger and Turmeric are have a long history of healing in traditional communities. They are also both widely studied in current medical research and have been found to be powerful anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agents. They are both members of the ginger family, Zingaberaceae. Ginger's active components are: gingerols, shogaols, paradols, and zingerone and cucuminoids, mostly curcumin (diferuloyl methane), demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcmin, are the active components of Turmeric.
- Anti-Oxidants - The active compounds are excellent at cleaning up and removing free radicals. Generation of free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS) during metabolism beyond the capacity of our bodies results in oxidative stress, which plays an essential role in heart diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and in the aging process.
- Anti-Cancer - Specific studies have found protection with regard to colorectal, gastric, ovarian, liver, skin, breast, and prostate cancers.
- Blood Sugar - Ginger has a powerful ability to control blood glucose levels, in some studies reducing blood sugar by 50% in diabetics. Maintaining a balanced blood sugar level throughout the day is very important for body composition, brain function, liver and pancreas health.
- Anti-Inflammatory - Both compounds are very powerful in limiting the 'burn' in our body. Systemic inflammation can wreak havoc in our body, leading to vascular disease, cancer, alzheimers, joint pain, the list goes on. We don't want it. Both ginger and curcumin are known to inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), lipoxygenase (LOX), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). In fact in studies comparing ibuprofen and curcumin showed the same level of relief from osteoarthritis as ibuprofen.
