Does Anyone Take Bone Broth And If So, What Brand?
I make my own, in fact, I just made a batch in the slow cooker. I make it on a regular basis and always have 12 oz. portions of it in freezer bags in the freezer so it is ready to use as a beverage or in recipes. I started making it after my hip rehab about 3 1/2 years ago. I kept finding recipes for it as I was researching using food as medicine. I buy chicken feet from a local organic chicken farmer. They are really high in collagen, glucosamine and chondroitin. all of which are very beneficial for our joints and bones. I use a dozen chicken feet and the bones from three chickens. I freeze bones after I roast a chicken or make wings or other parts. Sometimes I use chicken backs also if the farmer has them. One batch will yield about 12 portions. Here is a pic of two bowls that I strained and are now cooling on the stove. The broth is also very helpful for weight loss. Tomorrow I will make some chicken and vegetable soup with the broth from one of the bowls.
I forgot to mention that if you freeze it you should only reheat it on simmer, anything hotter will breakdown the nutritional benefits and never heat it in the microwave. It takes about 20- 30 minutes to get it warm, but so worth it.
RozJH, Thanks for asking, I cook it on low for 6-7 hours. I don't dilute it any further, I strain it and drink it as is. I start by filling the slow cooker with the bones. Then I add water to just below the brim and about a 1/4 cup of organic cider vinegar. The cider vinegar is the secret ingredient that draws the collagen and minerals out of the bones. My slow cooker will hold about 12-14 cups over the bones. After the broth chills, it will be very gelatinous thanks to the vinegar. I will end up with 10-12 servings if I am portioning it out to drink. I divided my recent batch in half and made soup (4 healthy servings) and 6 freeze bags.
I have started taking this - not exactly sure how it may help but quite like the taste!
I have been making home made chicken drumsticks and vegetables broth in the slow cooker, and it is quite often that l find small pieces of bone in the soup when I am eating it. I use a can of chicken and sweet corn soup for stock. Is this the same as bone broth? I am also taking Aledronic acid plus Caliciferol tablet with Vitamin D tablet weekly .
