Bone Broth Protein

Protein Supplement

Broth or powder made from cooked animal connective tissue and bone, providing variable amounts of collagen-derived peptides and amino acids. Direct composition testing found substantial recipe-to-recipe variation and generally lower collagen-precursor content than a 20 g reference collagen supplement.

Pharmacokinetic model

A route-level PK model for bone broth protein is being prepared from published data. Dosing references, studies, and documented interactions are below; the app catalog is updated as models are validated.

  1. Bone Broth Unlikely to Provide Reliable Concentrations of Collagen Precursors Compared With Supplemental Sources of Collagen Used in Collagen Research Alcock RD, Shaw GC, Burke LM · International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, 2019 DOI

    Laboratory analysis found standardized bone broths significantly lower in several collagen-related amino acids than a 20 g reference collagen supplement, while nonstandard recipes varied widely. The study cautioned that…

  2. Plasma Amino Acid Concentrations After the Ingestion of Dairy and Collagen Proteins, in Healthy Active Males Alcock RD, Shaw GC, Tee N, Burke LM · Frontiers in Nutrition, 2019 DOI

    Healthy active men consumed several 20 g protein sources or 300 mL bone broth, with plasma amino acids measured for 180 minutes. Bone broth produced a slower, prolonged mixed amino-acid response; the study measured…
