JAKARTA - There are many ways to maintain the health of the joints, and digestion. One of them is by regularly consuming bone broth.

Kaldu, which is made from hours of boiled bones or meat, is said to be beneficial for the health of the joints because of the amino acid content or protein building material.

Written on the Channel News Asia page, Keith Baar, a professor of molecular training physiologicals at the University of California, Davis said home cooked bone broth has as many amino acids as collagen supplements, so the effect may not be as good as when taking supplements.

He said that in theory amino acids, or protein building materials, in bone broth can help tendons, ligaments, and bones that are prone to producing their own collagen, so that it is beneficial for joint health.

"Collagen and gelatin supplements have the potential to strengthen muscles and tendons, help athletes recover, and reduce pain in people with knee osteoartritis, but this has not been tested on bone broth," he said, as quoted by Antara.

It cannot be assumed that bone broth will also be good for the health of the joints. Meanwhile amino acid glutamin in the relatively high bone broth can reduce inflammation of the intestines and "correst" of the intestinal lining, says Dr. Michael Camilleri, a gastroenterologist at the Mayo Clinic intip.

In a study published in 2021, the researchers reported, when a small number of mice drank bone broth for 10 days, they were less susceptible to intestinal damage and inflammation compared to those who drank water. However, whether bone broth can have the same effect on humans has not been investigated.

Dr. Camilleri said it makes sense to input bone broth could be beneficial for the intestines, but could not say it was a "magic drug" for gastrointestinal symptoms.

"Like a lot of broth and soup purchased in stores, bone broth can contain a lot of sodium," said Amy Bragagnini, a dietist at Grand Rapids, Michigan.

"So, read the nutritional label carefully or consider making it yourself with less salt," he said.

Dr. Baar said limiting the consumption of bone broth to one or two servings per week, especially when pregnant and carefully giving to children because the bone has the potential to issue lead during cooking.
