I lost six stone drinking broth
Boil and Broth, now British Broth Company, was founded back in March 2018 by Rachel Down.
“I started making bone broth back in 2017 when I was unwell after my children were born. I had Candida overgrowth and my symptoms were frequent urine infections, food intolerances, bloating, IBS, and I was really overweight. I spent three years visiting the doctors, but they only offered me pharmaceutical drugs. I felt like they weren’t getting to the root cause of my issue. I tried many methods to stop my frequent thrush and UTOs, but eventually gave up on the NHS, as I was unable to find support from the GPs. I eventually turned to my own research and discovered gut health, gut microbiome, bone broth and kefir water. I made bone broth for myself and kefir water, drank them every day and followed my own nutrition program to get rid of the Candida overgrowth and within 12 weeks I was completely symptom free. I lost 2 1/2 stone in 12 weeks, and then over 2 years I lost six stone. Since then I haven’t looked back, I transformed my health and other people wanted to know about it.
Using one slow cooker in my home kitchen, I started to make bone broth and kefir water for my friends and family. I grew busier and busier and eventually had to move my family into a bigger home so I could cook more.”
Growing the Business
Rachel started to organically grow the business at home whilst looking after her two small children aged 2 and 3, whilst her husband Simon went to work to support the family. The business was quickly growing after an increase in demand for the products, so Rachel set up a website and started to ship products all over the UK. Rachel started to study a BSc Health Science degree, keen to get some answers about the power of bone broth and also so she could develop a bone broth back by science and research.

Rachel decided to split the two brands and created British Broth Company so that they could better serve those who are interested in gut health for themselves.
Boil and Broth are on a mission to ensure that millions of homes have their bone broth stocked in customers cupboards all over the world.
