Bone Composition

Bone broth provides collagen precursors, gelatin, and bioavailable minerals directly relevant to bone repair. The idea that bone is primarily calcium and that drinking milk is sufficient to rebuild it is a misconception. Raw bone supplements deliver the full mineral matrix in natural ratios and are considered superior to isolated calcium supplementation. Bone is a composite material made of three roughly equal parts: collagen and non-collagen proteins, water, and minerals. Vitamin C is required for collagen synthesis, and since one-third of bone is collagen, adequate vitamin C is directly tied to the structural integrity of the repair.
