A lot of uneducated comments on here.

This is the opposite of waste, because you can freeze it.

After the age of 20 you actually start producing 1% less collagen a year, making your skin thinner and bones weaker. This is a great method of topping it up.

If you’re sautéing veg or making soups you can add it in too. Or if you wanna flavour your rice you can add it to that also.

You can also buy it in supermarkets but it’s very expensive.

Great video thank you 👍

Wow, this is pretty much the West African 'pepper soup' using chicken, beef or lamb, handed down for generations, . It's especially good when recovering from illness.

i make bone broth once a week... basically the same as your recipe but i add a large thumb of ginger and a fresh fennel bulb cut in pieces

[gretchenmorris]

Short, simple, and to the point. Thank you!

[roseschroeder]

Bone broth from the grocery is gross. I made this today & it’s amazing! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

[almamoire]

This is what I like. Straight to the point! Not much blah blah. Thank you!!!

Veggies/spices aren't required, add as much or none as you wish, you're after the bone nutrients. I used 3 chicken backs, half pound of chicken feet, and 1 pig foot; and 1 pound of soup bones and 1 pound of cow feet for the beef broth - I add in carrots, celery, onion and garlic as it cooks, with salt added on a per-cup serving to taste. You can serve after 20 hours and then run the bones again for a second batch, or let it go the whole 48 to 72 hours to turn the bones brittle, you can easily crumble the bones when they are done. Boiling in a pressure cooker destroys the beneficial proteins, I've heard, plus it's a metal pot and you want to avoid that, so I've never tried it.

I've been consuming bone broth for digestive reasons and was sceptical at first, but my digestion is so much better - I actually have an appetite, unlike most people I don't consume enough food on a regular basis -- & visits to the toilet are much more pleasant. Good luck, whatever your reason.

The most simple vid on YT! Thanks Dr. Axe.

[suemariet]

Just made this. Wow I feel as if I am consuming my grandmothers chicken soup, took me right back. Such a simple and delicious recipe. Thanks Dr Axe

[shadowfire]

You're the man Doc!...After I watched your collagen video I barely slept thinking of how I can get anything from those little bones of the chicken...woke up...watched this...Then you literally showed me every single part that I avoid!!!....But yet so easy to order!...Thank you so much Dr. Axe...I watched so many of your videos and have never said a word of appreciation despite my improvement in my overall health by following your tips...Thank you!...Keep up the great job Sir!

[empyrelife]

Great looking and healthful recipe, I will try it sometime! One thing though; this is more like a vegetable/chicken stock than a bon-a-fide (sorry, I couldn't help myself) bone broth. I'm sure it's much more palatable though to the new bone broth sipper. Thanks for the simple video!

[NotMeHaHaBoo]

Making this right now... well, kinda. I bought a whole roasted chicken, took the meat off and put in the bones and some skin. Put celery, carrots, and a onion. Also, added some spices. Doing it stove top style. I will update on the results later

[jnaperski]

I find that if I use a food processor to shred the carrot/celery/onion, they break down quicker and gives the broth a fuller flavor

[oxxxymoronoxxxymoron]

Hello Dr. Axe! Is there a difference in terms of health benefits between bone broth and gelatine dissolved in water? They both seem to be high in amino acids glycine and proline. Thank you!

[Tashio]

Hey there, may I throw some questions at you please?
How long will this last after cooking and how should I best store it?
Also, is it safe to reheat as it not advisable to continually reheat meat produce. Whilst cooking I also didn't notice and scum on the top of the water.
Thank you

[ToeMass]

Also put a few tbsps of apple cider vinegar to help break things down and release and the goodies

[Hey_Ruthie]

I have them cooking now. I have a large crockpot and could only fit 10 cups of water. The website said to add 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar instead of 1 that’s mentioned on here. Hmm. I’ll probably add more water after the 24-48 hours end to stretch it. I used all chicken necks.

[ggurrlyggurrl]

I placed chicken neck and drumsticks for my broth, could I NOT discard those when cooked and actually eat it?

[Cassiehope]

i have problems with my discs and have started beef gelatine. .is this much the same as bone broth?

[shicruisin]

What if one cannot find chicken feet? Is it still nutritious enough if I leave them out?
And how does one simmer something for 24 - 48 hours without evaporating all the water???
Does one have to keep topping it up?
