Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body making up 30% of our total protein content. It is often called the "glue" that holds our bodies together and is the major component found in connective tissue. Collagen maintains the structure and integrity of your skin, muscle tissue, bones and tendons.
Until the modern era, in which our culture eats far more sugar and processed foods, collagen-rich bone broth was eaten in much greater quantities. Things like soups, stews, sauces, gravies and other broth based meals were routinely eaten.
In addition to eating fewer collagen-rich meals today, another problem is that our bodies produce less collagen as we age – making supplementation something worth strong consideration in order to meet our body's needs.
THE BENEFITS OF COLLAGENNot only does collagen provide structure for our bodies, it actually improves the way our bodies work, both on the inside and the outside. Consuming collagen protein can have profound benefits:
- Boost metabolism
- Support gut health and improved digestion
- Support lowering the risk of heart disease
- Helps arthritis and supports joints
- Reduce cellulite
- Grow healthier hair and nails
- And the list goes on...
Collagen also contains an amino acid called glycine which our bodies cannot produce enough of but is vitally important.
The problem with collagen protein – while still beneficial – is that most sources come from the skin of the animal, not its bones.
When collagen is sourced from the animal's skin, we miss out on all of the extra nutrients and restorative benefits of
100% GRASS FED BONE BROTH PROTEINWe created Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed Bone Broth protein to make getting collagen into your diet faster, easier, and without having to simmer bones for 48 hours.
Bone broth from grass fed beef bones is rich in proteins and amino acids that are sorely lacking in standard diets today. Our bone broth protein is crafted from healthy, grass fed, pasture-raised beef bones. We use no chemicals or solvents... just good old fashioned bone broth that is then gently powdered.
Other bone broth protein and collagen products often claim to be made from "grass fed" cattle when, in fact, the cattle are finished on grains. How do we know? We've called their sources directly and not one has verified that they are only fed grass.
Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed Bone Broth Protein is the only of its kind made from truly grass fed cattle raised on pesticide-free, grass pastures. The cattle are never fed GMO grains (or any grains, for that matter).
