Bone broth can be prepared from any part of the animal, but at Dr. ELK we only use the best parts, namely the bones of healthy cattle, bone marrow and connective tissues. We simmer all this for at least three days. In this way, we make an extremely nutritious soup that can be used as a soup base, sauces or a healthy drink.


Bone broth is made of #collagen


A component of bone broth is collagen, which is found in nature only in the tissue of animal meat and fish - learn more about the collagen at the Harvard article here.

Collagen type 2 is found in bone broth, while collagen type 1 or marine collagen, which is made from fish, is commonly used in the beauty industry to reduce wrinkles.


Bone broth contains #calcium, #magnesium, #potassium, #phosphorus and other #minerals


Animal bones are rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus and other minerals that are necessary for building and strengthening your own bones.

Bone marrow contains #VitaminA, #VitaminK2, #minerals and #omega


Bone marrow is important because it provides vitamin A, vitamin K2, minerals such as zinc, iron, boron, manganese and selenium, as well as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.


When the ingredients boil, their nutrients are released into the water in a form that is easily absorbed by the body.


Connective tissue contains #Glucosamine and #Chondroitin


Connective tissue contains glucosamine and chondroitin, which are natural compounds in cartilage known to support joint health.


Bone broth is rich in minerals that help build and strengthen your pet's bones. It also contains many other healthy nutrients, including vitamins, amino acids and essential fatty acids.


The bone broth is a result of a healthy animal lifestyle


Bone broth can be made from pork, beef, veal, turkey, lamb, bison, buffalo, venison, chicken or fish bones. Due to health concerns, Dr. ELK only uses beef. Read here which type of bone to choose here. Bone broth contains many important and highly nutritious vitamins and minerals. The content of nutrients strongly depends on the animal's state of health and lifestyle.
