One of the most overlooked superfood is bone broth, which is made by slow simmering it over low heat for 24-48 hours, to give the bones time to soak into the broth. This simmering causes the bones and ligaments to release healing compounds like collagen, proline, glycine and glutamine that have the power to transform your health. It cointains over 19 easy-to-absorb, essential and non-essential amino acids (the building blocks of proteins).
