The Best Homemade Collagen With Few Ingredients
Homemade collagen can be made naturally using a simple bone broth, which is rich in gelatin and nutrients that help support the body’s collagen production.
Ingredients
1–2 kg beef bones or chicken bones
1 onion (cut in half)
1 carrot (optional)
1 celery stalk (optional)
1–2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
Water
Instructions
Place the bones in a large pot and cover them with water.
Add the apple cider vinegar and let it sit for about 20–30 minutes.
Add the onion, carrot, celery, salt, and pepper.
Bring everything to a boil.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer slowly for 12–24 hours.
Strain the broth and store it in the refrigerator.
When the broth cools, it may turn slightly gel-like, which means it contains natural gelatin from collagen.
