Why more and more people swear by bone broth – and what science says about it

Many of us know the feeling: The day has just begun and yet we lack energy. Concentration? Difficult. And in the evening, we wonder where all our strength went.

Often, the problem isn't just sleep or stress – but rather an inadequate supply of nutrients . Our modern daily lives with processed foods, little time for cooking, and a monotonous diet make it difficult to provide the body with everything it needs.

Collagen, amino acids, and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus are often lacking. Yet these building blocks are crucial for energy, regeneration, and our overall well-being .

Let's be honest: We don't sell 'miracle broth'. What we offer are functional, organic-certified whole-food products with a clearly defined nutritional profile and minimal processing.

The difference from supplements and powders? Bone broth is not a lab product – it is a real food. With a natural protein structure and nutritional relevance. What our grandmothers already knew, nutritional science confirms today.

Prolonged boiling of bones and connective tissue releases valuable nutrients such as natural collagen, glycine, proline, and glutamine. These amino acids play a central role in energy metabolism, support tissues and the immune system, and are particularly easy to digest as a liquid protein source.

The three main benefits at a glance:

• Energy & Performance: Natural amino acids such as glycine and proline support energy metabolism and aid in mental clarity.
• Fasting Companion & Broth Cleanse: Bone broth provides the body with essential minerals during fasting without interrupting the fasting phase – whether as a daily ritual or a multi-day cleanse.
• Holistic Nutrient Supply: Collagen, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus – all from a natural source, highly bioavailable.

This question comes up often – and the answer is fascinating.

Collagen is a large structural protein found naturally in bones and tendons. It is, so to speak, the 'glue' of our connective tissue. In its natural form, however, it is difficult for the body to access.

Through the combination of heat, water, and especially time, a natural process occurs:

Step 1: The collagen in bones and tendons is first converted into gelatin by sustained heat – the structure begins to dissolve.

Step 2: With continued cooking, parts of these long protein structures further break down into smaller fragments – so-called peptides (short amino acid chains).

Step 3: These peptides and amino acids pass into the broth through long-term extraction, thus becoming readily available to the body.

The crucial point: this entire process occurs purely physically through heating – without chemical or industrial splitting. No enzymes, no acids, no laboratory processes. This is precisely what differentiates a 48-hour bone broth from industrially produced collagen powder.

The result? A broth rich in bioavailable amino acids – glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, the structural amino acids of our connective tissue.

Both Pur & Paleo varieties are made from organic ingredients, gently cooked for 48 hours, and contain absolutely no additives. The difference lies in the nutrient density and taste.

Organic Free-Range Chicken Pure & Paleo

• 2.6 g protein per 100 ml
• 1.9 g collagen per 100 ml
• Only 12 kcal per 100 ml
• Mild in taste, very low in fat

The free-range chicken variant is particularly suitable for those looking for a light, easily digestible broth – ideal as a daily ritual or during intermittent fasting.

Organic Pasture-Raised Beef Pure & Paleo

• 4.8 g Protein per 100 ml
• 4.0 g Collagen per 100 ml
• From neck and joint bones as well as tendons
• Higher nutrient density, richer flavor

The pasture-raised beef variant boasts almost twice as much collagen as the chicken variant. Through the targeted use of collagen-rich components – bones and tendons – it achieves a particularly high nutrient density.

The question always comes up: 'Can't I just take collagen powder?' – The short answer: You can. But it's not the same.

Our approach is: whole-food matrix instead of isolated isolate.

Collagen Powder:

• Produced by industrial hydrolysis
• Isolated, highly processed protein
• Single nutrient without natural context

Pur & Paleo Bone Broth:

• Long-term extraction over 48 hours
• Naturally released protein fragments
• Organic raw materials, minimally processed
• Complete nutrient profile from a natural source

The crucial difference: with collagen powder, the protein is chemically isolated and broken down. In our bone broth, the nutrients are released naturally through time and heat – embedded in a complex matrix of amino acids, minerals, and gelatin.

Or, quite simply: Powder is a laboratory product. Bone broth is a food.

Bone broth provides protein and amino acids that are relevant for tissues, the immune system, and metabolism. But let's take a closer look at the individual building blocks:

Glycine is the most common amino acid in collagen. It plays a role in the synthesis of creatine (an energy source for muscles and the brain), supports the liver's detoxification processes, and is involved in the formation of glutathione – one of the body's most important antioxidants.

Proline and hydroxyproline are structural amino acids found in connective tissue. They are essential for collagen synthesis – i.e., for the regeneration of skin, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the blood. It serves as fuel for immune system cells and the intestinal lining.

What makes bone broth special: All these amino acids come in a natural, liquid form – easily digestible and simple to integrate into your daily routine. Whether as a warm drink in the morning, as a base for soups, or as a companion during fasting.

Important: Bone broth is a nutritional element – not a therapy. We do not make any healing claims, but rather communicate nutritional correlations.

Traditionally, bone broth has been used for centuries to support digestion – from classic chicken soup for a cold to fasting broth after surgery.

Modern research shows that amino acids such as glutamine play a role in the intestinal barrier. Glutamine serves as the primary fuel for enterocytes – the cells of the intestinal lining. Adequate supply can contribute to the normal function of the intestinal barrier.

Gelatin, which is formed during cooking from collagen, is also considered easily digestible and is described in nutritional science as gentle on the gastrointestinal tract.

That's why bone broth is particularly recommended:

• As a gentle first meal after fasting
• As a warming companion for sensitive digestion
• As a nutrient-rich alternative to hard-to-digest protein sources
