Bone Broth

Earthy Origins bone broth is made from either slow-simmered grass-fed goat bones or free-range chicken bones, combined with natural spices including ginger, turmeric, garlic, cinnamon, black pepper, and apple cider vinegar. There are zero preservatives, zero fillers, and no artificial flavouring. Every batch is slow-simmered for 18 hours to extract maximum collagen, gelatin, and minerals.

Bone broth is primarily valued for gut health support, collagen nourishment, joint comfort, and daily recovery. The slow-simmer process extracts collagen, gelatin, and glycine from bones — these compounds help maintain the gut lining, support joint lubrication, and provide light, absorbable nutrition. It is also a source of easily digestible protein. Many people use bone broth as a warming morning drink to support digestion and reduce bloating.

Yes - bone broth is designed as a daily nourishment habit, not an occasional supplement. One 50ml serving mixed with 50ml hot water makes a light, warming daily drink that fits naturally into a morning or pre-meal routine. Daily consumption helps maintain consistent gut support, steady collagen intake, and gentle digestive comfort. Earthy Origins positions bone broth as a long-term daily ritual, not a short-term fix.

Yes - collagen is extracted naturally during the slow-simmering process. When bones are cooked at low heat for an extended time (Earthy Origins simmer for 18 hours), the collagen in the connective tissue and bones converts into gelatin and collagen peptides. These pass into the broth liquid, making bone broth one of the few food sources of naturally occurring collagen. No synthetic collagen is added.

Both are collagen-rich and gut-nourishing, but there are subtle differences. Goat bone broth (8g protein per serving) tends to be lighter in flavour with a gentle, earthy quality. It is often preferred by those with sensitive gut or those who find chicken broth too strong. Chicken bone broth (11g protein per serving) is richer, slightly fuller in taste, and provides more protein per pouch. Both are slow-simmered for 18 hours with the same clean ingredients.

Preparation is simple: mix one 50ml bone broth sachet with 50ml of hot water, stir, and sip. You can also use it as a base for soups, gravies, and curries. The concentrated broth adds depth and nutrition to everyday cooking. For best results, heat water to just below boiling rather than fully boiling to preserve delicate nutrients.

No - Earthy Origins bone broth contains zero preservatives, zero fillers, and zero artificial additives. The clean-label commitment is core to the brand. The only ingredients are bones (goat or chicken), water, and natural spices. The product is also lab-tested to verify clean-label claims.

Bone broth is generally considered gentle on the digestive system. The gelatin and glycine content may help support the gut lining, which can contribute to reduced bloating and improved digestive comfort over time. Because it is liquid, warming, and made from whole-food ingredients, it is easier to digest than most protein-heavy foods. However, everyone's digestive system is different. We always recommend introducing bone broth gradually and listening to your body. If you have specific medical conditions, please consult your healthcare provider.

Bone broth provides naturally occurring collagen, which is a structural protein that supports skin elasticity and hydration. As collagen production naturally declines with age, food sources of collagen peptides are commonly included in anti-ageing nutrition routines. Regular consumption of collagen-rich foods like bone broth may support skin from within over time. Earthy Origins positions bone broth as part of a holistic slow-ageing daily food routine rather than a guaranteed anti-ageing treatment.

Bone broth contains naturally occurring compounds including collagen, gelatin, and glucosamine that are associated with joint health and lubrication. These compounds are derived from cartilage and connective tissue during the slow-simmering process. Many people with active lifestyles or age-related joint stiffness incorporate bone broth into their daily routine for its joint-supporting nutrition. It is not a medicine and should not replace medical treatment, but it is a nutritious daily food habit.

Earthy Origins chicken bone broth contains 11g of natural protein per 150ml pouch. The goat bone broth contains 8g of natural protein per pouch. This protein comes entirely from the slow-simmering of bones; it is naturally occurring collagen protein, not added protein isolates or powders. Both variants are designed to complement daily protein intake without any synthetic supplementation.

There is no single 'best' time — bone broth works as a daily nourishment habit at any time. Common preferences include: morning on an empty stomach (to support gut lining before food), before meals (to stimulate digestive enzymes), after exercise (for recovery nutrition and light protein), or as an evening wind-down drink (the warming, savoury quality supports relaxation). Earthy Origins recommends consistency over timing — drinking it daily at a time that suits your routine is more important than when exactly you drink it.

This is a common question, and the answer depends on how strictly you define your fast. In terms of caloric content, bone broth contains some protein and traces of fat, which technically means it is not a zero-calorie fast. However, many people in the intermittent fasting community include bone broth during fasting windows because it provides electrolytes and minerals without spiking blood sugar, and it helps manage hunger. Earthy Origins bone broth can be used as a fasting-supportive drink, but whether it 'breaks' your fast depends on your personal fasting protocol.

Bone broth is a wholefood-based, natural product made from bones and spices, and is generally considered nutritious for older children. However, the product contains black pepper, ginger, and apple cider vinegar, which may be strong for very young children. We recommend it for adults and older children (12+Months). For younger children, please consult your paediatrician before introducing bone broth.

Earthy Origins sources goat bones from grass-fed goats and chicken bones from free-range chickens. Responsible sourcing is a core part of the brand's farm-crafted identity. The brand prioritises farm-to-product traceability, ensuring that the quality of the source ingredient determines the quality of the final broth. Specific sourcing details are shared in the brand's sourcing and transparency page.
