Bone Broth Collagen: What Makes Wholefood Different

If you’ve been eyeing collagen supplements – powders, pills, gummies – you might be wondering: Why choose bone broth instead?
Here’s the truth: not all collagen is created equal, and the source, purity, and form matter just as much as the collagen itself.
Bone broth collagen is different because it’s a wholefood – it’s not stripped down to just isolated peptides. When done right, it delivers collagen alongside the amino acids, minerals, and co-factors your body actually needs to use it. And that’s where Bhone comes in.
Why Wholefood Bone Broth Collagen Stands Out
- Nutritional synergy – Bone broth isn’t just collagen. It’s a natural package of amino acids like glycine, proline, and glutamine that support skin, gut, joints and recovery.
- Naturally bioavailable – Traditional simmering breaks collagen down into gelatin and peptides your body can easily absorb.
- Extra joint and gut support – Includes compounds like glucosamine and chondroitin, rarely found in standard collagen powders.
- A food, not a fraction – Wholefood collagen means you’re also getting minerals like calcium and phosphorus, something isolated collagen peptides can’t match.
Addressing the Top Concerns About Bone Broth
We’ve heard the questions. Let’s clear them up.
1. “What about heavy metals?”
Some broths, especially when made from unknown sources, can contain trace heavy metals. That’s why every batch of Bhone’s broth is tested for safety before it reaches you.
2. “Does the source really matter?”
Absolutely. Cattle raised on pasture, free from hormones, antibiotics and GMOs, produce cleaner, more nutrient-rich broth. New Zealand’s grass-fed beef is renowned globally for purity – and that’s exactly what we use.
3. “If it’s dried, does it still work?”
Yes – when done right. We use gentle spray-drying technology to lock in collagen, amino acids and joint-supporting compounds without adding fillers. This keeps it in a wholefood powder form that delivers collagen, gelatin, amino acids, minerals and glucosamine in their natural balance — unlike hydrolysed collagen, which is broken down into isolated peptides.
Many people prefer this wholefood form for its broader nutritional profile and added gut and joint benefits.
4. “Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?”
Our founder, Renei, puts it simply:
“I was more conscious of what I was putting into my body during pregnancy and breastfeeding than at any other time in my life. That’s why safety, purity and transparency are at the heart of Bhone’s formulations.”
Yes, it’s safe. Bone broth has been enjoyed for centuries around the world, especially during pregnancy and postpartum, for its gentle nourishment and mineral-rich profile. As with anything in your wellness routine, we recommend doing your own research and speaking with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns.
Why You Might Reach for Bone Broth Over Other Collagen Sources
- More than collagen – Bone broth gives you the extras (gelatin, glucosamine, minerals) your body craves for joint and gut health.
- Supports daily wellness rituals – It’s a warm, nourishing drink you can enjoy anytime, not just a scoop in a smoothie.
- Backed by tradition and science – Used for centuries in many cultures, now supported by modern research on collagen and amino acid benefits.
- Clean, transparent sourcing – You know exactly where it comes from and what’s in it, because we tell you.
As bone broth expert Dr. Kellyann Petrucci says:
“When you drink bone broth, you’re not just nourishing your skin and joints – you’re giving your whole body the building blocks it needs to thrive.”
Bottom line ladies: Bone broth collagen isn’t just another supplement – it’s the original, wholefood way to get the collagen your body recognises and uses. And when it’s grass-fed, rigorously tested and nutrient-preserved like Bhone’s, you can trust every sip.
