Why Bone Broth is Great for Fertility
Bone broth is rich in:
✔️ Collagen & Gelatin – Supports gut lining, reduces inflammation, and enhances nutrient absorption.
✔️ Amino Acids (Proline, Glycine, Glutamine) – Essential for hormone production and egg quality.
✔️ Minerals (Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus) – Strengthens bones and optimizes fertility health.
✔️ Gut-Healing Benefits – A healthy gut microbiome plays a key role in hormone balance and fertility.
Easy Homemade Bone Broth Recipe
Ingredients (Makes 1 Litre of Broth)
1kg organic bones (grass-fed, free-range, or at least organic for maximum nutrient density)
2 medium carrots, quartered (skin on for extra nutrients)
2 medium onions, halved (skin on for added flavor)
2 stalks of celery, quartered
1-1.5 liters filtered water
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (with the mother, helps extract minerals from bones)
2 sprigs fresh thyme (anti-inflammatory properties)
2 bay leaves (adds depth to the flavor)
1 tsp Himalayan salt (rich in trace minerals)
1 tsp organic black peppercorns
Instructions
1. Prepare the Ingredients
Add the chopped vegetables to your slow cooker, stovetop pot, or Instant Pot.
Sprinkle in the herbs, salt, pepper, and apple cider vinegar.
Place the raw bones in the pot and cover with water (just enough to submerge everything without diluting the broth too much).
2. Slow Cook for Maximum Nutrients
Slow Cooker: Set to low and cook for 12-24 hours.
Instant Pot: Cook on high pressure for 2-3 hours, then let the pressure release naturally.
Stovetop: Simmer on low for 12+ hours, adding water as needed.
3. Strain & Store
Use a fine mesh strainer to separate the broth from bones and vegetables.
Let the broth cool for about an hour.
Skim off the top layer of fat—but don’t discard it! This healthy fat is perfect for cooking.
4. Storage Tips
Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
Freezer: Freeze for up to 6 months.
Pro Tip: Pour broth into ice cube trays and freeze. Use 2-3 cubes when cooking for an easy nutrition boost!
