If you have the same amount of protein per serving, then beef bone broth will have slightly more collagen per serving. Beef bone broth also has slightly more glycine and proline. These are two amino acids that make up collagen, along with hydroxyproline and arginine.
Though beef still has more collagen overall, thanks to its denser, heavier bones. Chicken bone broth is also a little easier to digest than beef, though bone broth as a whole is easy to digest due to the low and slow simmering process.
Bone broth is associated with collagen, a structural protein found in skin, cartilage and bone. When boiled, the collagen in connective tissue is broken down into gelatine and various other health promoting amino acids, such as glycine and glutamine.
Many people recommend drinking 1 cup (237 mL) of bone broth daily for maximum health benefits. Some is better than none, so whether it be once a week or once a day, drink it as often as you can.
I know I know, another mineral you have heard of but don't know what it does. Bone broth has 22 times more phosphorus compared to collagen. Per serving this works out to 56 mg for bone broth (13% of your RDA) and 2.5 mg for collagen.
The Verdict? If you're looking to seal up the gut lining and reduce inflammation the cheapest way possible, opt for collagen. You can take it on the go and it'll dissolve easily. But, if you want all the nutrients provided by high quality protein, then bone broth is the way to go.
Collagen is the protein component of bone broth which has been isolated out of the bone broth liquid. As a result, it's higher in protein and useful as a treatment.
