As the quest for optimal gut health continues to grow, bone broth has emerged as a nutrient-rich remedy favored by health-conscious individuals. BrothMasters, a leader in premium bone broths, offers small-batch chicken and beef bone broths made from grass-fed, pasture-raised bones and organic vegetables. With exceptionally high calcium levels and real customer success stories, BrothMasters sets itself apart in the gut health conversation.
But what does science really say about bone broth’s impact on digestive wellness? In this article, we explore the benefits of bone broth through the lens of nutritional research, expert insights, and what makes BrothMasters’ formulation uniquely supportive of gut health.
Understanding Bone Broth and Gut Health
Bone broth has gained renewed attention as a functional food for digestive wellness. Here’s why it's a staple in many health regimens—and what makes BrothMasters’ bone broth stand out.
Why Bone Broth is Trending
Bone broth’s comeback in modern health circles is fueled by both traditional wisdom and emerging scientific evidence. For generations, it has been valued across cultures for its soothing and restorative properties.
Today, many turn to bone broth as a natural way to support gut health, joint function, and immune resilience. Its rich amino acid profile and collagen content make it especially appealing for those with digestive concerns. And with BrothMasters’ emphasis on pasture-raised, grass-fed bones and organic vegetables, its bone broth offers superior nutritional value compared to many commercial alternatives.
Collagen, Gelatin & Gut Health: The Science
Collagen: Supporting the Gut Barrier
Collagen, naturally abundant in BrothMasters' broths, is critical for maintaining the gut lining. It supports the structure of the intestinal wall and contributes to proper nutrient absorption.
Amino acids like glycine and proline—found in collagen—play a role in reducing inflammation and promoting the production of stomach acid, which helps break down food and support digestion.
Gelatin: A Functional Digestive Aid
During the slow-simmering process, collagen in bones breaks down into gelatin. This gelatin attracts and holds water, which may help move food through the digestive tract more smoothly. It also supports gastric juice production and could help form a protective coating over the gut lining.
BrothMasters’ cooking process ensures maximum extraction of gelatin, delivering broth that’s both rich in texture and dense in nutrients.
The Power of Amino Acids in Broth
Bone broth is loaded with amino acids essential for gut health, including:
-
Glutamine – fuels intestinal cells and supports gut lining repair
-
Glycine – aids bile acid production and soothes the digestive tract
-
Proline – supports collagen synthesis and intestinal wall flexibility
BrothMasters' bone broths are slowly simmered to maximize the bioavailability of these crucial amino acids, making them an ideal addition for anyone supporting digestive wellness.
What Does Bone Broth Do for Your Gut?
BrothMasters’ bone broth may offer several gut-supporting benefits, including:
High Calcium Content for Gut Lining Support
Unlike most broths that contain negligible amounts of calcium, BrothMasters’ bone broths contain:
-
30% of the daily value (DV) of calcium in both beef and chicken broth
- 20% DV of calcium in chicken broth alone
This is the highest calcium content in the industry, making BrothMasters a superior choice for those looking to support gut lining strength and bone health.
Hydration and Nutrient Absorption
Gelatin and electrolytes in bone broth can support hydration in the digestive tract and help improve nutrient absorption. This makes bone broth particularly helpful during periods of digestive distress or recovery.
What the Research Says
Scientific Studies
Though clinical studies on whole bone broth are limited, individual components have been researched:
-
A 2017 study in Nutrients suggested that glycine may protect the gut lining against mucosal injury.
-
Another study in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition & Dietetics found that collagen peptides may reduce inflammation and improve intestinal barrier function.
Most existing research focuses on amino acids and collagen—key ingredients in BrothMasters’ broth—offering a promising foundation for its gut health benefits.
Expert Opinions
“Bone broth contains nutrients that may support gut health, but it’s not a magic cure-all,” says Dr. Jane Smith, a gastroenterologist. “It can be a valuable part of a balanced, gut-friendly diet.”
Experts also emphasize the importance of sourcing. Broths made from grass-fed, pasture-raised bones (like BrothMasters') provide higher nutrient density and cleaner profiles than many conventional broths.

“Broth Masters Helped My Gut!
“I have been using Broth Masters Bone Broth for several months and am thrilled with the wonderful results I have with my digestive issues. As someone who has struggled with bloating , discomfort, restricted diets and medications that did not help, I was excited to discover Broth Masters Bone Broth. I was instructed by my Gastroenterologist( had seen 2 different Doctors) to eliminate garlic, onions, broccoli, asparagus ,Brussel sprouts ,raw vegetables, dairy, gluten, certain fresh fruits. I was given the Fodmap diet. I had a Very restricted list of items to eat. I also have to be on a low sodium diet. As careful as I was with keeping this diet, nothing changed. I still had the extreme bloating and discomfort. It was time to find a different food plan. I heard about Broth Masters Bone Broth and but was skeptical, it was loaded with garlic and onions, food high on my list of do not eat foods. I was so desperate I decided to give it a try. Within 2 weeks I started to feel better and see the bloating and discomfort going away. I no longer get bloated or have stomach issues . Thank you Broth Masters! — SG”
“How Bone Broth Saved my Gallbladder
I was told by my physician that I would need my gallbladder removed because of an abnormal HIDA scan. I was diagnosed with biliary dysplasia…meaning my gallbladder wasn’t releasing enough bile to help in my digestion of food. My symptom was flank pain associated with every meal I would eat. My husband, who is a personal trainer and has known Dorothy’s husband Eddy for 26 years mentioned my symptoms and Eddy told him about Dorothy and Laya’s bone soup. Within 3 weeks of eating 2 servings a day of their soup my symptom completely abated. Needless say I am not having my gallbladder removed! Their kitchen stove soup is blossoming into a multi-state business that is helping many. — Lauren V.”

Safety and Consumption Tips
At BrothMasters, we know that gut health is not just about what you add to your diet. It is also about avoiding what does not belong there. That is why we have addressed the most common concerns about bone broth so you can sip with total confidence.
1. Heavy Metals: Tested and Certified Clean
The concern: Some bone broths can contain trace amounts of heavy metals like lead or arsenic due to environmental contamination.
Our solution: Before releasing our broths, we took the extra step of third-party heavy metal testing, and the results came back completely clean. We source our bones exclusively from one trusted, long-time farming partner whose grass-fed cattle are raised in pristine conditions.
2. Sodium: Naturally Low and Flavorfully Balanced
The concern: Many store-bought broths contain over 800 mg of sodium per cup, which can be excessive for daily consumption.
Our solution: BrothMasters broth contains just 150 mg of sodium per cup, and that is naturally occurring, mostly from celery. We never add unnecessary salt, allowing our organic vegetables and herbs to provide rich, clean flavor without overwhelming your system.
3. Histamine: Managed for Sensitive Digestive Systems
The concern: Long-simmered broths can develop high histamine levels, which may cause reactions in those with sensitivities.
Our solution: We freeze every batch immediately after cooking to lock in freshness and help prevent histamine buildup, making our broth healing and supportive for sensitive stomachs.
