Research about the benefits of bone broth still awaits scientific approval. But those who make this dish at home praise it for its high nutritional value. Boiling a mixture of bones, marrow, and connective tissues releases healthy vitamins like calcium, silicon, phosphorus, magnesium, collagen, glycine, and glutamine. Such compounds can tackle osteoporosis: a condition in which the bones become brittle and weak. Here are four bone broth recipes that help improve one’s condition.

Chicken feet broth
Broth made from chicken feet is not only healthy but quite delicious too. To make this broth, you will need two pounds of chicken feet, two large carrots, and one onion.

Fishbone broth
Fishbones contain gelatin and collagen that reduce excess friction between the joints and relieve osteoporosis. A few ingredients needed to make the broth include five to seven pounds of non-oily fish carcasses, two sliced carrots, two medium onions, and two celery ribs. Other ingredients include a bay lead, two whole cloves, and two teaspoons of peppercorn.

Beef bone broth
This broth needs three to four pounds of beef bones, two carrots, three celery stalks, two medium onions, and a bay leaf.

Pork bone broth
Pork bone broth is beneficial for those affected by osteoporosis and is less expensive when compared to chicken or beef. The core ingredients are two pounds of cooked pork bones, two tablespoons of olive oil, two yellow onions, and celery ribs. Cook the broth with four cloves of peeled garlic, twenty peppercorns, two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and half a teaspoon of sea salt.
