Prof. Benjamin Murphy, Ph.D.Bone broth enhances skin health through gelatin, amino acids, and specific characteristics of collagen. As it is simmered for a long time, collagen is hydrolyzed into absorbable products that pass into the bloodstream, providing the necessary nutrients for skin tissue. These nutrients increase the structural proteins, which affect skin appearance over time.
Hydration Boost
- Gelatin binds water molecules increasing skin moisture content
- Reduces dryness and flakiness within 4-6 weeks of regular intake
Elasticity Improvement
- Proline and glycine amino acids rebuild elastin fibers
- Creates firmer texture reducing sagging appearance
Surface Repair
- Anti-inflammatory effects calm redness and irritation
- Accelerates healing of minor environmental damage
Collagen conversion forms the structure. Steeping the bones for 12 hours or more converts collagen into bioavailable gelatin. Your body uses this to create new elastin and keratin. Drinking one cup daily produces the best results for me. This makes stores for skin renewal possible.
Genetic aging remains an important limitation for humans. Thankfully, bone broth can't stop the biological clock and reverse deep wrinkles. Bone broth can be used in conjunction with retinoid therapies and sun protection. Please do not use it as a substitute for a dermatologist's recommendations so if its rich nutritional profile helps you enjoy the benefits of your skincare investment, even better!
Merge internal and external care. A cross assessment while keeping sun exposure habits. Apply topical antioxidants. Hydrate all day. This multi-approach provides optimal dermal results. Improvement is gradual and not overnight; the sky's the limit.
