Nutraviva Pure Bone Broth powder is made from specially selected grass fed and pasture raised New Zealand cattle bones that are high in Type II collagen and packed with nutrients and glycosaminoglycans.  It is slowly dried to remove water and the remaining product is a pure collagen protein without any additional salt or flavourings.  It has a very subtle beef flavour and is best used as a base for healthy soups, stews, gravies or in any liquid beverage.

Bone broth has long been associated with maintaining a healthy immune and digestive system, while also reducing inflammation throughout the body.

Nutraviva Pure Bone Broth is a simple and convenient way to incorporate a quality collagen protein into your diet, providing the crucial amino acids used in collagen formation throughout the body.  Sourced from New Zealand grass fed and pasture raised cattle.

Below are some of the important elements and micronutrients you will find in a good quality bone broth and how they have been found to help promote good health.

Collagen – The cooking process turns collagen into gelatin that provides the body with amino acids – the building blocks of proteins.  Collagen holds the body together, plumps skin, lubricates joints and builds muscle barriers to protect the body from pathogens.

Proline – An anti-inflammatory amino acid that builds healthy cartilage.

Glycine – An anti-inflammatory amino acid that is vital for wound healing.  The liver also requires it to produce the antioxidant glutathione.

Glutamine and Arginine – These amino acids keep the gut lining healthy and well equipped to heal in the face of constant challenge.  They are known to relieve colitis and benefit brain health.

Threonine – This is a biogenic amino acid vital for keeping the gut lining in good health.

Glycosaminoglycans –including are hydrophilic (water-attracting) proteins and include hyaluronic acid, chondroitin, glucosamine, chondroitin and keratan sulphate.  They lubricate, cushion and protect cartilage and joints, support collagen and elastin production, benefit skin, hair and nails, as well as the intestinal lining, and make up joint fluid – the body’s shock absorber.

Bone Marrow – This is the nutrient-dense component of bone that generates stem and blood cells.

Calcium – Is essential for growth and development of children and adolescents, as it maintains strong bones and teeth, while also assisting in muscle contractions, nerve stimulation and regulating blood pressure.

Phosphorus – It works with calcium to help build bones.  You need the right amount of both calcium and phosphorus for bone health.  Phosphorus also plays an important structural role in nucleic acids and cell membranes.  And it’s involved in the body’s energy production.

Magnesium – This is required for the proper growth and maintenance of bones.  Magnesium is also required for the proper function of nerves, muscles, and many other parts of the body.

Sulphur – Of the 20 amino acids present in foods, only two contain sulphur.  Neither are stored in your body, so ingesting foods containing sulphur is the way to keep your system balanced.

Sodium – This is one of the body’s electrolytes, which are minerals that the body needs in relatively large amounts.  Most of the body’s sodium is in blood and in the fluid around cells. Sodium helps the body keep fluids in a normal balance.

Potassium – This is one of the most important minerals in the body.  It helps regulate fluid balance, muscle contractions and nerve signals.
