This bone broth alone can keep people going, especially when they don’t feel like eating. It’s not just a regular vegetable stock. This stock is high in potassium and numerous trace minerals. Mineral Bone Broth helps to restore the mucus lining of the gut and supports joint health.
And why is that so important?
Well, because the gut is the barrier between the outside world and the body.
We need our gut lining to be healthy so that our gut bacteria have a happy place to live.
We also need a healthy gut lining to support optimal digestion and nutrient absorption.
Bone Broth is also full of minerals and collagen which supports joint health.
Sip it like a tea, or use it as a base for all your favorite soups and rice dishes.
