What it is

Concentrated powder from simmered animal bones, rich in collagen, gelatin, and minerals. Marketed for gut healing, joint health, and skin benefits. While it provides collagen peptides similar to collagen supplements, the actual collagen content varies dramatically between products. No trial has tested bone broth powder specifically versus standard collagen peptides. Lead contamination from bones is a documented concern in some brands.
