What is bone broth protein and how is it different from regular protein powder?
Bone broth protein is made by slowly simmering grass-fed beef bones to extract collagen, amino acids, and minerals, then gently dehydrating the broth into a concentrated protein powder. Unlike whey (dairy-derived) or plant proteins, bone broth protein contains gut-healing amino acids like glycine and glutamine, naturally occurring collagen, and zero lactose or dairy.
Is bone broth protein a complete protein for building muscle?
Yes. Bone broth protein contains all essential amino acids your body needs for muscle protein synthesis, making it a complete protein source. With 21g per serving, it provides adequate protein for muscle recovery and growth. While the amino acid profile differs slightly from whey (bone broth is higher in glycine and proline), it effectively supports muscle maintenance, repair, and building when combined with resistance training and proper nutrition.
Can I use bone broth protein in hot beverages?
Absolutely! Bone broth protein is one of the few proteins that dissolves well in hot liquids without clumping or losing nutritional value. Many people add it to morning coffee (similar to "bulletproof" coffee), tea, or even savory soups and broths. The heat doesn't damage the protein or reduce its nutritional value. Our Chocolate flavor works wonderfully in hot cocoa, while Vanilla complements coffee and tea perfectly.
How does bone broth protein compare to collagen peptides?
Both come from similar sources (typically beef), but bone broth protein is more complete. Bone broth protein contains the full spectrum of amino acids including the collagen peptides, plus additional amino acids like glutamine and arginine that straight collagen supplements lack. You're getting collagen PLUS protein PLUS gut-healing compounds in one product. If you want comprehensive nutrition, bone broth protein offers more than isolated collagen peptides alone.
Is your bone broth protein really from grass-fed, grass-finished cattle?
Yes. Our bone broth protein comes exclusively from grass-fed, grass-finished cattle raised without hormones or antibiotics. The cattle spend their entire lives on pasture, eating their natural diet of grass rather than grain in feedlots. This results in cleaner, more nutrient-dense bone broth with a better omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. Every batch is third-party tested to ensure purity and verify it's free from contaminants, heavy metals, and unwanted additives.
Does it support joint health?
It provides collagen, glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid to support cartilage and joint flexibility. While not a medical treatment, it can help maintain joint structure as part of a balanced diet.
Does bone broth protein taste like...broth? What's the flavor like?
Our Chocolate and Vanilla flavors taste like delicious protein shakes—not savory broth! We've carefully formulated the flavors to be naturally sweet (using stevia) and smooth, without any "beefy" taste. The Chocolate is rich and cocoa-forward, while Vanilla is creamy and subtly sweet. If you're concerned, start by blending it into one of our smoothie recipes—you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Can I bake or cook with bone broth protein?
Yes! Bone broth protein is incredibly versatile. Because it's heat-stable, cooking doesn't destroy the protein or reduce its nutritional value. This versatility makes it easy to increase protein intake throughout the day beyond just shakes.
