The marrow contained in fresh animal bones has been recorded since ancient times as "replenishing the essence, strengthening the muscles and bones, and prolonging life." The ancient book "Shoushi Zhenyuan" believes that the bone marrow "specializes in replenishing deficiency, activating blood, strengthening muscles, and moisturizing." Skin, rejuvenated." Bone marrow is an anti-aging hematopoietic organ that can enhance the body's hematopoietic function and improve the body's immunity. Vertebrate bone marrow contains all the nutritional essence needed by the human body, including lecithin, which has the effect of promoting children's brain development and improving brain intelligence; Collagen (a variety of amino acids), mucopolysaccharides and various protein peptides that moisturize the skin, beautify the skin, and prevent aging.

In the past, people used to consume bone soup to absorb the nutrients of bones. Many people want to drink bone soup to supplement calcium, because there is a popular saying that "the essence of bones is in the soup". Is this really the case? Huang Lei, deputy chief physician of the Nutrition Department of the Beijing Center for Disease Control, said that in fact, these claims have no scientific basis, and simply drinking bone soup cannot achieve the purpose of calcium supplementation. Tests have proven that the calcium content in bone soup is very small, and it lacks vitamin D, which can promote calcium absorption. Relevant measurement results show that a bowl of bone soup contains only 1.9 mg of calcium, which is far from the daily requirement of more than 1,000 mg of calcium. If you only rely on soup to supplement your calcium needs, you would have to drink at least 400 bowls of bone soup every day, which is obviously impossible. In addition to calcium, the same is true for many other nutrients, because most of the nutrients are still in the bones.

The reason why people used to consume bone broth to absorb nutrients from bones is because there is no other better way to extract nutrients from bones. In fact, no matter how high the temperature is, the calcium in the bones cannot be dissolved, and other nutrients will not escape into the soup. Prolonged cooking will destroy the protein in the bones.

How to fully absorb the rich nutrients in bones has become a problem that has troubled people for many years. Many countries have also done a lot of research on this topic. In this regard, Japan and the United States are at the forefront. They used "powder" technology to produce bone powder, which is known as the "miracle medicine".
