Bone Broth Fast

A bone broth fast involves consuming primarily bone broth — made by slowly simmering animal bones and connective tissue — for a period of one to three days, drawing on a long tradition of using broth as a restorative food. Research suggests that bone broth contains compounds such as collagen, gelatin, glycine, and glucosamine, which may support joint comfort, gut lining integrity, and digestive health. Studies indicate that glycine, an amino acid abundant in bone broth, may have anti-inflammatory properties and play a role in supporting the intestinal barrier. While many people report feeling improved digestion and reduced inflammation during or after a bone broth fast, formal clinical trials specifically evaluating this practice remain limited, and individual experiences can vary widely.
