Liquid Gold for Intestinal Mucosal Healing
Bone broth has been prized in traditional culinary medicine for millennia. When simmering pastured marrow and connective tissues for 18 to 24 hours, collagen hydrolyzes into gelatin, liberating therapeutic concentrations of **glycine, proline, and glutamine**—the primary amino acids required to repair the microscopic enterocyte junctions of the gut lining.
This restorative recipe elevates classic broth by infusing it with fresh organic turmeric root, ginger, garlic, and medicinal shiitake mushrooms rich in beta-glucans.
Nutritional Highlights - **Collagen & Gelatin:** 18g clean bioavailable collagen per bowl. - **Anti-Inflammatory Bioactives:** Curcumin, gingerols, and allicin. - **Immune Polysaccharides:** Lentinan from slow-simmered shiitakes.
