Go to the shopGlycine is the primary amino acid found in collagen, and it is a significant amino acid in terms of what it does for the body. Glycine is a non-essential amino acid, meaning our body can synthesize it. However, it is best described as being ‘conditionally essential’, as it is synthesised from the amino acid serine at only about 3 grams per day which is not nearly enough for our body’s requirements.
The human body requires at least 10 grams per day of glycine for basic metabolic processes, so we have a significant daily deficit that we need to get through dietary or supplement means. Bone broth contains approximately 27.2 grams of glycine per 100 grams of protein, making it a great source of this important amino acid. Rather than taking an isolated glycine supplement, bone broth contains glycine with other amino acids and minerals, acting synergistically with each other.
Joint cartilage is easily broken down in well-cooked bone broth. Cartilage contains collagen protein and elastin. Elastin fibres play a big role in maintaining the integrity, elasticity, and the mechanical properties of cartilage. Cartilage also contains glucosamine and chondroitin, both well-known supplements for arthritic pain, particularly in the knees.
Bone marrow, found deep in the centre of the bone is an important source of minerals in bone broth. There are two types: red bone marrow and yellow bone marrow. Yellow bone marrow is higher in fat cells, whereas red bone marrow is higher in platelets. Red bone marrow contains reticulin fibres (Type III collagen). Chicken bones have higher red marrow and make for a more flavourful broth. Bone marrow is fatty and gelatinous, containing a high mineral content. The fat tissue in bone marrow is a significant source of a hormone called adiponectin which has been linked to reducing insulin sensitivity.
Found in many high-end beauty serums, hyaluronic acid is the main component in synovial fluid, acting as a joint lubricant. Hyaluronic acid is found in the bones and the connective tissue, which is usually attached to the bones. Hyaluronic acid’s presence in bone broth not only yields benefits for natural beauty support, but also for joint health and reduced inflammation.
Proline forms the structure of collagen, and like glycine, is a ‘conditionally essential’ amino acid that we can gain through diet and supplementation. This important amino acid for skin health and wound healing can be found in bone broth. Proline is needed to build collagen and to increase collagen synthesis in human fibroblast cells. Proline is also great for healing and recovery from exercise and injury.
