Bone broth contains amino acids and minerals that are present in the gut and may influence intestinal barrier function and inflammatory responses.
Glutamine, glycine, and proline in bone broth contribute to the repair of intestinal lining cells and maintain the integrity of tight junctions between these cells in laboratory models.
Bone broth is proposed as a food option that provides nutrients similar to commercial supplements designed to support gut barrier function.
Bone broth contains nutrients that in laboratory studies have been linked to lower intestinal inflammation and better gut barrier function in inflammatory bowel disease, but there is no evidence from human studies to confirm this.
Consuming bone broth increases the amount of nutrients absorbed from the digestive tract because of its amino acids and minerals.
