Bone broth has widely been referred to as “nature’s multivitamin”… and for good reason. It makes for a hearty, nutritious, and cancer-killing soup that has been a kitchen staple for hundreds of years. Yet it has notably gained popularity with this generation’s cooks and health & fitness enthusiasts.
And why is that? Perhaps because it’s PACKED with 19 amino acids, nutrients like glucosamine, minerals, electrolytes, and collagen.

Another incredible benefit of bone broth is the healthy gut boost it provides… which, as we now know, supports about 80% of the immune system.
The collagen/gelatin and the amino acids proline, glutamine, and arginine in traditionally-made bone broths help seal the openings in the gut lining and promote gut integrity.

Watercress, cauliflower, onion, and garlic help the liver to produce more glutathione. Often referred to as the “master antioxidant,” glutathione is a combination of three simple building blocks of protein or amino acids − cysteine, glycine, and glutamine.
Watercress is also a great source of omega-3s and has been shown to reduce chronic inflammation. This cancer-busting watercress soup recipe is a great dish for the whole family!
