Bone broth, made by simmering animal bones for extended periods, has been a cornerstone of home remedies across cultures for centuries, particularly as a comforting food during illness. Research suggests that chicken bone broth may offer mild anti-inflammatory effects that help ease upper respiratory symptoms, while its gelatin and amino acid content, including glycine and proline, has been studied for potential benefits to gut lining integrity and joint health. Studies indicate that the glycine found naturally in bone broth may support sleep quality by promoting relaxation and lowering core body temperature before bed. Though nutrient content varies widely depending on preparation methods, bones used, and cooking time, both chicken and beef bone broths provide easily digestible minerals and collagen-derived compounds that continue to attract scientific interest for their role in supporting overall immune function and recovery.
