Good points. Maybe I'll try making my own. Seems like a good "whole food" approach. Cheers.

The downside is dosage. It's hard to know *how much* collagen you're getting in a cup of homemade broth. A supplement powder is more precise. But broth has all the other co-factors. I use both.

I drink it for gut health, and the joint benefit is a bonus. It's very soothing. The store-bought stuff can be crazy expensive, it's dead easy to make your own in a slow cooker.

It's the "whole food" version of a collagen supplement. When you simmer the bones/connective tissue, it breaks down into gelatin (cooked collagen), plus other minerals and compounds (glucosamine, chondroitin, etc.).

It's great stuff. Whether it's "better" than a powder is debatable, but it's definitely not worse!

PowerLifterPro mentioned this in another thread. Is drinking bone broth basically the same as taking a collagen supplement? Or is there more to it? Does it actually help cartilage and joints?
