So, now that I have my bone broth made and sitting in the freezer in 1 cup containers, what’s the next step? Do I just put it in a cup and drink it hot and leave it at that? BORING! This is when I start getting into the nitty-gritty. There seems to be some unique combination of things that produce better than average results. It’s that combination that’s the REAL SECRET to getting that bone broth to give up it’s collagen and give it to me! Bone Broth and It’s Collagen Boosters has been my diligent search this week and I’ve found some VERY enlightening info on the subject!
There are several GREAT collagen boosters and I’m going to focus on just a couple of them today.
The first one I’ll focus on is VITAMIN C. It appears that consuming higher doses of Vitamin C helps the collagen in bone broth to become more “bio-available”. So, that means it gets absorbed and used by the body at a much faster rate than normal, which benefits the skin!
Where to get the best Vitamin C ???
Fruits and vegetables, of course! Which ones are high in Vitamin C? Well, RED BELL PEPPERS have 3x’s the amount of vitamin C than oranges, and they are also rich in lycopene (which prevents sun damage). Plus, they taste GREAT grilled! 😋
Kale is another vegetable that is high in Vitamin C, which the skin LOVES! In addition to vitamin C it contains a significant amount of Copper. Copper is a mineral that boosts the synthesis of melanin, which is a pigment that protects your skin from the sun, and like Vitamin C, it helps you make collagen. If cooked right, Kale CAN taste Delicious!
The video below will show you how I am going to incorporate these two Collagen Boosters, RED BELL PEPPERS and KALE, into my daily Bone Broth Routine for this week!
I like to make up a couple of batches at a time and have them ready to pop in the microwave and VOILA! Lunch is ready!
