Origins Nature Gift Bone Broth. Anyone tried it?

[MindfulMoments]

Hi. I have just seen a health video from Dr Sarah Brewer advertising her Nature's gift bone broth. It seems ideal for IBS, thyroid issues, candida and bone density loss, all of which I have suffered. Although seemingly ideal, it is very expensive as always with health supplements/foods. I am just wondering if anyone has seen her video and tried the bone broth?

£70 for one box (14 sachet portions) is a lot.

If your circumstances allow, you could buy a decent electric pressure cooker for that. Then some butchers offer beef bones for free. And, if a particularly good butcher, they could even be grass-fed.

I do realise they claim some other ingredients, but the primary one is obviously beef bone.

Thanks, it was the combined chicken and beef broth with the vit/herbal supplements that interested me.

[helvella Administrator Thyroid UK in reply to MindfulMoments]

I didn't look very far at their offerings - £70 was enough to be a shock! Hence I didn't check other prices, etc.

[MindfulMoments in reply to helvella]

Yes very pricey indeed!!!! Everything in health these days seems to come at price, many a hefty one 😒

Thanks, I am looking for a combined chicken and beef with the extra medicinal ingredients

I haven't tried it, sorry. I would buy it if I had plenty spare cash for convenience though.

Truth is many butchers are wise to the Bone Broth popularity now and some organic butchers are charging for their bones (my local isn't even organic and charges a few quid for a bag) so it's still some expense.

When I'm good (which isn't very often) I save left over bones and peelings from veg in the freezer and add a bag of bones from the butchers. Pop them in the oven for half an hour, then add them to a big pot of water, add a cinnamon stick and fresh mint leaves. Cover and leave to simmer all day and night. Sieve. Store in the fridge. I get a lot of broth from this.

Amazon sell it too

Thanks Alanna012. Unfortunately, I don't have the time nor the inclination to make my own, I admire that you take time to do that. Finding a combined chicken and beef broth with the extra supplements in an easy powder is hard to come by that isn't extortionate. Why do you have be rich to be healthy 🤔😄, lack of fairness somewhere.

[Alanna012 in reply to MindfulMoments]

Yeah you do gave to be rich to be healthy. It's grossly unfair. I mean they say "Health is Wealth' but I think they've got the phrase the wrong way round...♥️

Hi MindfulMoments,

I've made bone broth using a slow cooker. It was very easy to do and cheap too. It wasn't for me but my elderly dogs used to love it.

My recipe was a very basic one, turkey thigh bones with carrots, slow cooked in water with a few teaspoon fulls of apple cider vinegar, fat scooped off the top then strained for any bits of broken bones and put into an ice cube tray and frozen.

It's been discussed quite often on the forum; I'll do a search and add links to most helpful posts.

Just to add/clarify - when I mentioned electric pressure cooker earlier, many can be used in slow cooker mode. So they provide both options in one device.

[Hedgeree in reply to helvella]

I never knew that? Though I find pressure cookers a bit scary!

[Hedgeree in reply to helvella]

Ah of course!

The old stove top ones of yore were, probably something many of our mums used back in the day were rather temperamental. But modern day electronic ones are perfectly safe. I have an Instant Pot which combines a pressure cooker, slow cooker and other functions and I've used the pressure cooker feature many times.

[MindfulMoments in reply to Hedgeree]

Thanks Hedgeree. I am looking for a powder form where you just add water and is chicken and beef combined that I need when on the go.

Be aware that bone broths are high histamine foods & if you have any allergies they might make them worse.

[MindfulMoments in reply to Bertwills]

Oh, I did not know that. I am just gluten intolerant so that should be ok
