Great for Colds

Strengthens the Immune System

A healthy immune system is very important because our body will be able to hunt down pathogenic cells out and destroy them before they get out of hand and make us sick. Bone broth contains certain substances that help in this process including amino acids arginine, glutamine and glycine. Bone marrow is especially beneficial to the immune system because it contains lipids, especially alkylglycerols that produces white blood cells.
