Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It’s the main structural protein in skin, bones, tendons and cartilage. Bone broth is one of the oldest ways to eat it: when bones and connective tissue simmer for hours, their collagen breaks down into gelatin and amino acids that end up in the broth.
Types of collagen by broth
Scientists have identified more than two dozen types of collagen. Three are most common in the bones and connective tissue we simmer:
| Broth | Main collagen types | What it tastes like |
|---|---|---|
| Beef | Type I and Type III, from bones and connective tissue | Rich, deep and savoury; sets firm when cold |
| Chicken | Type II, found mainly in cartilage, plus Type I | Light, clean and versatile |
| Turkey | A mix of Types I, II and III | Savoury and round, a little richer than chicken |
Gelatin: the sign of a good broth
Gelatin is what collagen becomes when it’s cooked. It’s why a well-made broth turns to a soft jelly in the fridge and melts back to liquid when warmed. The more connective tissue and the higher the bone-to-water ratio, the more gelatin. Our Premium Collagen broths are made to be the most gelatinous; Premium Collagen Beef is semi-solid when cool.
Protein per serving

Classic and Plain figures are from our December 2025 lab results. *Premium figures are estimates while lab testing is underway.
Why grass-fed and pasture-raised bones
Collagen comes from the animal, so the animal’s life matters. We use grass-fed and finished beef bones and pasture-raised chicken and turkey bones from Ontario farms, with organic vegetables and herbs. Read more about how we source our bones.
