Pork and Vegetable Stew with added Pork Broth

Using our collagen dense pork bone broth, you can add additional protein nutrition to this meal.

Porcine collagen (pork broth collagen) is rich in proline and glycine.

Proline is one of the most important building blocks of collagen, as the body uses it to manufacture collagen that can then be used to help maintain the skin structure and keep it looking smooth.
