Bone Broth is a powerhouse of vitamins and nutrients that can heal and nourish the body from the inside, and drinking a glass every day will help the body fight conditions such as inflammation, leaky gut, joint pain, immune disorders and candida. Known as the magic elixir, bone broth was a common dish just a few decades ago and was used as a stock to add flavor to soups and sauces. Now it has been replaced with small, foil-wrapped stock boullion cubes that simulate the taste of meat and contain none of the nutrients found in real broth such as collagen, gelatin, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium to name just a few.
