What to Look for in a Quality Bone Broth Powder
Bone broth has gained significant popularity for its nutrient-rich profile and numerous health benefits, including gut health support, joint recovery, and skin health. But with so many options available, how do you identify a high-quality bone broth powder?
Here’s what to look for:
1. Sourcing and Ingredients
Grass-Fed or Pasture-Raised Sources: Opt for bone broth powders derived from grass-fed and pasture-raised animals to ensure a higher nutrient profile and ethical sourcing practices.
Clean, Minimal Ingredients: Check for a short, clean ingredient list. If you are looking for flavoured options, look for all-natural ingredients.
Australian and New Zealand Sourced: Nutraviva’s bone broth powders are crafted from a blend of Australian and New Zealand grass-fed, pasture-raised beef, ensuring strict quality standards and nutrients.
2. Nutritional Profile
High Collagen Protein Content: Look for bone broth powders that are rich in collagen protein, as this protein supports joint, skin, and gut health. Check for a decent protein content per serving – typically around 60% per serving. Our bone broth powders have protein content higher than this range, with our Collagen Enriched Bone Broth having an exceptional 91% protein content per serving.
Amino Acids: A quality product will list essential amino acids like glycine, proline, and glutamine, which are crucial for healing and recovery. In our Technical Data, we provide the amino acid profile of our pure beef bone broth powder, which is the basis of our product range.
3. Processing and Purity
Slow-Simmered Extraction: The best bone broths are slow-simmered for 24-48 hours to extract maximum nutrients and minerals.
Low Temperature Drying: Opt for powders that are gently dried to preserve nutrient integrity and prevent denaturation.
No Additives or Fillers: Avoid bone broth powders with added sugars, artificial flavours, or thickeners.
4. Transparency and Testing
Third-Party Testing: Trustworthy brands provide transparency regarding heavy metal testing, nutrient content, and sourcing practices. Check out our Technical Data tab on product pages to find out more about the independent testing we conduct on our bone broth powders.
5. Taste and Dissolvability
Neutral Flavour Profile: A high-quality pure bone broth powder should have a mild, neutral taste, making it versatile for both sweet and savoury applications, even smoothies, believe it or not!
If you are looking for flavoured stand-alone savoury options, try our best-selling black packaged flavoured range, which is available in Original, Hearty Beef, Beef & Veg, and Turmeric Beef.
Easy to Dissolve: Powders that dissolve easily in hot liquids indicate a higher processing quality and user convenience.
