Here's a little more info:

Bone broth is the only true dietary source of type II collagen, which gives it a unique nutrient profile unlike that of any other food.

Bones and connective tissue are packed with the beneficial proteins collagen and gelatin, which are known for enhancing the appearance of skin. But a lesser known fact about collagen is that it also works on the digestive system by repairing the gut lining. This can help improve chronic digestive issues and autoimmune conditions that stem from leaky gut syndrome.

Collagen is also rich in the anti-inflammatory amino acids glucosamine, proline and glycine, which help ease joint pain, repair cartilage, and maintain lean muscle mass. If you’ve ever seen a thick layer of gel formed on top of refrigerated bone broth, that’s the collagen that has been released from the bones. (It’s also a sign of a highly nutritious broth!)

Bones are also storehouses for certain essential vitamins and minerals that we don’t get nearly enough of in our diets today — such as calcium and magnesium — which promote restful sleep and help reduce stress. (We could all use a little more of that, huh?)

Simmering bones and connective tissue into a broth for 10 to 16 hours enhances the digestibility of these powerful nutrients, and makes them incredibly easy for our body to digest, absorb, and assimilate. The easy digestibility of bone broth is why it’s one of the top recommended foods for those with weakened or compromised digestive systems, and others who may have trouble properly absorbing a nutritional supplement.
