La différence entre le bouillon d'os et le collagène

Une grande partie de notre santé commence dans nos intestins ! Nous pouvons attribuer la santé de notre système digestif, de notre système immunitaire, de notre santé mentale, de notre santé hormonale et bien plus encore, à notre intestin. Que se passe-t-il lorsque la muqueuse intestinale est endommagée ? La muqueuse intestinale peut être endommagée à la suite d'une inflammation, d'une indigestion ou d'une dysbiose. Des périodes prolongées de l'un de ces symptômes réduisent la production d'enzymes digestives, augmentent le potentiel d'autres troubles digestifs et, à la longue, causent des dommages physiques aux parois intestinales. Lorsque la barrière intestinale s'affaiblit, des particules alimentaires, des hormones et des toxines s'infiltrent dans l'organisme. Si ces particules passent, elles sont identifiées comme des envahisseurs et peuvent déclencher d'autres perturbations systémiques. Comment le bouillon d'os répare l'intestin Le bouillon d'os est un exemple étonnant de nutrition favorable à l'intestin ! Il est fabriqué en faisant mijoter lentement des os d'animaux dans de l'eau pour en extraire les nutriments et les rendre facilement digestibles et absorbables. Ce bouillon riche en acides aminés aide à la régénération et à la réparation des tissus qui tapissent le tube digestif grâce à sa forte teneur en collagène et en gélatine. Le collagène est une protéine riche en 19 acides aminés facilement absorbables, dont les plus importants sont la proline, l'arginine et la glycine. Ces acides aminés sont essentiels au maintien de l'intégrité du tube digestif. Le bouillon d'os contient également un acide aminé, la l-glutamine. La L-glutamine est particulièrement efficace pour reconstruire les protéines et réparer la barrière intestinale, et est souvent supplémentée seule pour cette raison précise. Le bouillon d'os est connu pour sa teneur élevée en l-glutamine. Le profil nutritionnel ne s'arrête pas là ! Le bouillon d'os est riche en nutriments qui soutiennent l'intestin, comme le calcium, le magnésium, le potassium, le phosphore, le sélénium et le zinc, ainsi qu'en vitamines A, C et E. Et il contient des composés naturels, la glucosamine, le sulfate de chondroïtine et l'acide hyaluronique, qui contribuent à la santé intestinale en favorisant la santé de votre microbiome. Le bouillon d'os est un excellent moyen d'absorber ces nutriments en raison de sa forme liquide concentrée. Et c'est une source propre de protéines, le macronutriment essentiel à la régénération cellulaire ! Choisir le bon bouillon d'os Organika propose trois délicieuses façons de favoriser la santé intestinale. Nos bouillons d'os sont propres, riches en nutriments et délicieusement parfumés. Bouillon d'os de bœuf Le bouillon d'os de bœuf Organika est offert en saveurs Original et Gingembre. Il s'agit d'une alternative au bouillon de bœuf ordinaire, riche en protéines et en collagène et faible en sodium. Toujours exempt d'antibiotiques et d'hormones, notre bouillon de bœuf provient de vaches nourries à l'herbe en Suède. Nous faisons mijoter les os et les tissus conjonctifs de l'animal pour en extraire les importants bienfaits pour la santé de l'intestin, afin que vous n'ayez pas à le faire ! 2. Bouillon d'os de poulet Notre bouillon d'os de poulet est disponible dans les saveurs Original, Gingembre et Curcuma. Il s'agit d'une poudre de bouillon propre, à ingrédient unique, provenant de poulets américains élevés en cage, nourris exclusivement de céréales biologiques et soumis à des tests réguliers de dépistage d'hormones, d'antibiotiques, de métaux lourds ou de pesticides. Il s'agit d'une alternative plus riche en protéines et en collagène au bouillon de poulet ordinaire ! Comme notre bouillon de bœuf, il est riche en glucosamine, en acide hyaluronique et en chondroïtine, des composés qui réduisent l'inflammation et les douleurs articulaires, tout en favorisant la réparation de la paroi digestive. 3. Bouillon végétal Pour les végétariens et les végétaliens, nous avons notre bouillon de légumes qui regorge de vrais légumes biologiques, de champignons adaptogènes tremella et de levure nutritionnelle ! La levure nutritionnelle est une source de protéines complètes. Les protéines sont un macronutriment essentiel, vital pour la production d'enzymes et d'hormones, ainsi que pour la réparation et la régénération de chaque cellule du corps. Si vous suivez un régime végétarien ou végétalien, il se peut que vous ayez une carence en vitamines B. Ces vitamines hydrosolubles ne sont pas présentes dans les aliments. Ces vitamines hydrosolubles ne sont pas stockées dans l'organisme et doivent être consommées régulièrement. Notre bouillon de légumes est riche en vitamines B, vitales pour la production d'énergie, l'action antioxydante, ainsi que la construction et la réparation de l'ADN. Tout comme nos autres formules, le bouillon de légumes contient également de la l-glutamine, un acide aminé qui soutient l'intestin, pour maintenir et soutenir une barrière intestinale saine !

7 Reasons to start sipping on bone broth  You may have heard about the plentiful benefits of bone broth, or that it is a highly nutritious source of protein, or that it is your ticket to gut health. Yes, to all the above. Bone broth is so much more than a comforting soup. It is a versatile accompaniment to recipes and the start to whole body health. If you have heard about it but are not sure if you should or need to have it in your pantry, let’s stir on that. What is bone broth? Bone broth is made by simmering animal bones and connective tissues for extended periods of time; typically made with cattle or chicken bones.   Through the process of simmering, bones release beneficial nutrients such as collagen, gelatin, and amino acids (such as glycine, glutamine, and proline, to name a few). Alongside those nutrients are many key minerals, including protein, that aid tissue, gut, skin, and joint health. BONE BROTH NUTRITION FACTS Bone broth contains 19 easily absorbable amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. Protein is the essential macronutrient needed in the body for cell regeneration. Not only does it help with muscle growth, but it also prevents muscle wasting and breakdown (which occurs naturally as you age). There is another incredible group of nutrients found in bone broth known as Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). GAGs play a key role in building strong ligaments, cartilage, nails and skin firmness. Two of these includes glucosamine and chondroitin, both of which are well-studied natural compounds that help to decrease joint pain and inflammation. Bone broth also contains hyaluronic acid (another GAG) which helps with collagen production and helps to lubricate joints, tissues, including the skin and gut lining. 7 Bone broth benefits — Why you should drink it. Strengthens your joints and connective tissues As a natural source of collagen (type 1 for beef bone broth type 2 for chicken) bone broth helps to restore your connective tissues as well as repair joint health. A key component of bone broths is gelatin, which is the cooked form of collagen. Gelatin is easily digestible and provides protection from wear and tear to the joints. It’s also been shown to improve joint pain in people with osteoarthritis. Fights inflammation Amino acids such as glycine, glutamine and arginine, all found in bone broth, have all been considered to play a strong role in decreasing inflammation in the body. Arginine has been helpful in fighting ongoing inflammation, which can lead to several conditions and health concerns over time. This includes metabolic syndrome, heart disease and others. Glycine, a main amino acid in collagen, plays a role in producing an antioxidant that helps improve cell health and prevent inflammation (in the liver and gut).  Glutamine has also been shown to block the production of nitric oxide which causes inflammation in the body. Together these amino acids in bone broth can provide your body with less pain by blocking inflammation. Helps heal your gut Because bone broth’s nutrient profile helps to decrease inflammation, it does that throughout the body including the digestive tract lining. Glycine improves the integrity of your digestive tract and plays a vital role in the absorption of nutrients found in our foods, potentially helping with several conditions. Because bone broth has collagen which supports tissue health, this also encourages strength in the tissues lining the gut, making it stronger and more resistant (no more “leaky gut”). Improves immunity There is a reason why warm broth or “chicken soup” has been touted as a remedy for cold and flus. Because of its immense nutrient profile, bone broth fights inflammation and supports gut health as you just read. In turn, when the digestive tract is healthy, it feeds to your overall health and boosts the immune system.   Sipping bone broth has been linked to improving symptoms of respiratory tract infections, soothing sore throats and stomachs. Boosts skin health Collagen helps form elastin and other compounds within skin that are responsible for maintaining skin’s textures, buoyancy, elasticity and glow. Because of bone broth’s composition being rich in collagen, it’s no surprise that skin health is inevitably a big benefit. In addition, the hyaluronic acid component supports collagen production, as well as retains moisture within the skin tissues and its cells to provide a more “plump” appearance to the skin. Helps in detoxification Because bone broths (as we’ve seen) support your gut health, decreases liver inflammation and improves the body’s use of antioxidants, it also is helpful in supporting the body carry out toxins. In addition to potassium and glycine, both of which support cellular health, bone broth provides glutathione. This has been studied to help remove fat-soluble compounds and heavy metals from the body and increase the use of antioxidants to help your liver function better. Boosts metabolism Bone broth has a high protein amount (12g or more in Organika’s Chicken and Beef Broth Powders). The complete protein profile includes all the amino acids that help the body to repair muscle tissues, increase bone health, boost nutrient absorption and maintain tissue health everywhere. It also helps the body to convert its glucose stores into usable energy. Protein, specifically amino acids like glutamine, helps the body maintain energy and increase nutrient uptake by cells. These play key roles in increased metabolism and why you may find yourself feeling “satisfied” after sipping on a whole cup of bone broth. Bone broth made simple. Traditionally, bone broth is made by simmering animal bones for hours (sometimes days!) to extract every single nutrient from the bones. Organika has made it easier with powdered bone broths. Organika’s bone broth powders are extremely easy to use as well as digest. Simply add water or stir it into soups, sauces and more!

What is Collagen? Collagen is the most abundant form of protein in our body. It provides strength, elasticity, and tone. Although we may think of collagen only in our skin, it can also be found throughout our bodies: from muscle fibres and bone matrix to our blood vessels. Collagen is the protein responsible for strong and flexible connective tissues. The collagen in our skin plays the role of improving our skin's moisture, suppleness and elasticity, and a healthy amount of collagen will give an overall youthful appearance. Our body produces its own collagen, using 3 amino acids as key "building blocks"; they are Glycine, Proline, and Hydroxyproline. Collagen formation in our body involves complex enzymatic reactions, and providing the building blocks is crucial in the process. WHY SHOULD I SUPPLEMENT WITH COLLAGEN? As we age, our collagen formation naturally decreases: starting at 1% every year in our twenties, and up to 50% by the time we hit 45. Poor lifestyle choices, such as smoking, can further decrease the collagen formation rate in our body. Less collagen leads to a loss of elasticity, strength, and tone throughout the body. You may notice this through signs of ageing, such as: Fine lines/wrinkles Brittle nails Cellulite Sagging skin Loss of moisture Weak ligaments Aching joints Arthritis Cartilage injuries There are ways to bring the collagen formation rate up again, such as providing enough "key building blocks." These amino acids are abundant in collagen-rich food, such as bone broth and chicken feet. Unfortunately, most people don't get enough collagen in their diet. Hence, collagen supplementation is beneficial for most people! It helps reduce the signs of ageing, keep the strength, tone and health of our connective tissues, and even improve the digestive tract. There are so many benefits to collagen other than beautiful skin, hair, and nails! THE MAIN TYPES OF COLLAGEN Let's break down the three most common types of collagen that you'll see in our bodies: Types 1, 2, and 3. Supplemental collagen is mainly found as Type 1, as well as a combination of Types 1 and 3. Generally, sourcing plays a role in the type of collagen that is extracted. For example, bovine collagen is sourced from the hides of cattle and is naturally high in Type 1 collagen. Here is a chart of the most common types of collagen supplements and how they are sourced. Now that you are ready to start supplementing with a Collagen powder, which source should you use? What is the difference? Is there a price difference between them? Here is a breakdown of the characteristics and benefits of bovine, marine, and poultry-sourced collagen: Bovine Collagen Naturally sourced from the hides of cattle (be sure it is sourced from the hides), this kind is very high in collagen Types 1 and 3 and contains a high amount of protein. In fact, it contains almost double the amount found in marine collagen. With a large amount of glycine (a functional amino acid), bovine collagen is excellent for hair, skin, nails, as well as our connective tissues and digestive health. In most cases, bovine collagen will give you a better bang for your buck. Marine Collagen Naturally sourced from the scales and/or skins of marine species (usually cold water fish like cod or salmon), marine collagen is very high in Type 1 collagen, which is known to increase tightness, tone, and skin elasticity. It is very beneficial for skin, hair, and nail health, and is referred to as the fountain of youth. If you are a pescetarian or prefer fish-based products, marine collagen is the one for you. Poultry Naturally sourced from chicken sternum cartilages (very high in Type 2 collagen), it is high in Hyaluronic Acid and Chondroitin Sulfate, which are essential for healthy and strong cartilages, joints and ligaments. BioCell Collagen contains a potent amount of hydrolyzed collagen which stimulates collagen production in the skin, supports the health of our joints, and keeps the moisture in our skin and lubrication around our joints. What Can Collagen Do for Me? Collagen is highly beneficial to our body for many health reasons. Mostly known for its anti-ageing effects, collagen has been researched and shown to improve more than just your skin's texture and tone. So, what are the benefits of collagen supplements? Here are a few proven benefits from collagen: Increased moisture within the body (skin & joints) Improved digestive health (leaky gut) Immune support Improved mood Stable blood sugar/weight management Connective tissue health (joints, cartilage and ligaments) Reduction in inflammation within the body Improved bone health The amazing thing about collagen is that it is a very versatile and functional supplement for all lifestyles and ages. It is also an easy supplement to include in your daily routine: add it in your morning smoothies, yogurt, coffee, and even to your baking!
