Healing Bone broth
(Rich in Glycine & Glutamine)
This broth is naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and low in sugar.
Supports gut health, inflammation, detoxification, methylation, stress and sleep.
This slow-simmered Healing Bone Broth is a foundational recipe for gut repair and cellular resilience. Made from grass-fed beef bones and gelatin-rich chicken parts, it’s designed to extract the amino acids, minerals, and collagen peptides that are key to reducing inflammation and supporting tissue regeneration. With just a few minutes of prep and a long, gentle simmer, this broth becomes a concentrated source of nutrients that support long-term wellness from the inside out.
Two of the most significant compounds in this broth—glycine and glutamine—play critical roles in gastrointestinal and immune function. Glycine, abundant in the gelatin from skin and joints, supports detoxification, connective tissue integrity, and healthy sleep cycles. Glutamine helps fuel enterocytes (the cells that line your gut), promotes intestinal barrier strength, and aids in calming immune activation—making this broth especially supportive for those with leaky gut, chronic inflammation, or post-antibiotic recovery.
The addition of apple cider vinegar helps release minerals from the bones, while aromatic vegetables like garlic, onion, and celery provide antioxidant compounds and sulfur-based nutrients that further enhance detoxification pathways. Optional add-ins like seaweed, turmeric, or gelatin powder offer additional anti-inflammatory and gut-supportive benefits, depending on your needs. When made properly, the broth should gel when chilled—a sign of high gelatin and collagen content.
This broth is naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, low in sugar, and compatible with a wide range of therapeutic diets. Whether enjoyed as a daily sip, a base for soups and stews, or a healing reset after stress or illness, this recipe offers targeted support for gut health and inflammation reduction. It's a practical and powerful way to deliver restorative nutrients where they’re needed most.
This rich, healing bone broth should gel when chilled — a sign of high gelatin content.
Ingredients:
2–3 lbs of mixed grass-fed beef bones (knuckle bones, marrow bones, oxtail, and joints are ideal)
1–2 lbs of chicken backs or feet (for added gelatin = glycine source)
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (helps draw minerals and amino acids from the bones)
1 onion, quartered
2–3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 handful of parsley (add during last 30 minutes)
1 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
12–14 cups of filtered water
Optional Boosters (for extra glycine/glutamine):
1–2 tbsp gelatin powder (e.g. grass-fed bovine gelatin)
1 tbsp dried seaweed (minerals + gut support)
1 tsp turmeric (anti-inflammatory)
1 bay leaf, 1 tsp peppercorns (flavor + mild digestion support
Instructions:
Roast bones (optional but adds flavor):
Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread beef bones on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes, turning once. This deepens the flavor.Simmer:
Place roasted bones, chicken parts, and vegetables in a large stock pot or slow cooker. Add water and vinegar. Let sit 30 minutes before heating (to draw minerals).Bring to boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Skim off foam/scum that rises in the first hour.Slow cook for 12–24 hours.
The longer the cook, the richer the collagen (glycine) and glutamine. Use a pressure cooker (e.g. Instant Pot) for 3–4 hours if short on time.Add parsley and gelatin (if using) in the last 30 minutes.
Strain into glass containers and cool.
Store in fridge up to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months. The broth should gel when chilled — a sign of high gelatin content.
