What Is Bone Broth?
Bone broth is a liquid made by slow-cooking animal bones — typically beef, chicken, or fish — in water for an extended period. The resulting liquid contains nutrients derived from the bones, connective tissue, and marrow. Prolonged cooking can convert some collagen in connective tissue into gelatin. The final protein and amino-acid content varies by preparation and product.
Bone broth has been prepared in traditional food cultures for centuries. More recently, powdered and concentrated bone broth products have become available as a convenient alternative to making broth from scratch at home.
What Does Beef Bone Broth Contain?
The nutrient composition of bone broth varies depending on the source of bones, cooking method, duration, and whether any nutrients have been added during processing. Published analyses of commercial bone broths have found substantial variation between products — in some cases, amounts of certain nutrients such as calcium and magnesium were relatively low compared with what might be expected. [2, 3]
The most reliable way to assess the nutritional content of any specific bone broth product is to read the nutrition information panel on that product's label. Claims about specific nutrients should appear on the label and comply with Australian food standards. [1]
What Does the Research Say?
Direct human research on bone broth as a food is limited. Most published studies examine individual components that may be present in bone broth — such as specific amino acids or proteins — rather than bone broth as a whole food consumed in typical amounts. Findings from studies on isolated nutrients or laboratory preparations may not apply to commercially available bone broth products.
If you have questions about whether a bone broth product is appropriate for your health needs, consult a healthcare professional or accredited practising dietitian.
Bone Broth as Part of the Diet
Bone broth can be enjoyed as part of a varied and balanced diet. Depending on the formulation, some products provide protein in a convenient food-based format. Bone broth is not a substitute for medical treatment. Serving suggestions and nutritional profiles vary between products, so always read the individual product label.
