But there are two health claims about bone broth that do seem to have a little more science behind them. This first is that bone broth may bolster the immune system — at least if it's made from chicken bones.
According to a study published in 2000 in the medical journal Chest, "chicken soup may contain a number of substances with beneficial medicinal activity." The researchers observed that people eating chicken soup seemed to experience a mild reduction in inflammation that helped reduce symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection.
The second is bone broth's use as a sports recovery drink, which Kobe Bryant and members of the Los Angeles Lakers have been hyping lately.
Rebecca Mohning, a registered dietitian and certified sports dietitian, works with endurance athletes through her Washington, D.C.-based practice, Expert Nutrition. Mohning says bone broth or soups made with it could help replace electrolytes after intense exercise and aid in post-workout recovery. "It's a nice way to rehydrate the body, because of the liquid, and then replenish the sodium — that electrolyte — that was lost through sweat during exercise," she said. The amino acids may also provide the body with the building blocks it needs to rebuild muscle.
