Quick answer: Start with one cup (250ml) of bone broth a day. If you want more, build up to 2-4 cups, depending on your goal. With our concentrate, each cup is 1-2 teaspoons stirred into 250ml of hot water: 1 for a lighter sip, 2 for a richer broth or for cooking.

Concentrate is bone broth that has been slow-cooked and reduced down, so a small spoonful makes a full cup. Our bones are slow-cooked for 48 hours, then concentrated, and the broth is made in Queensland from 100% grass-fed cattle from Australia and New Zealand. Original Beef is just beef and evaporated sea salt. Sizes are a 350g jar (35 servings), a 260g bottle (25 servings) and a 375g bottle (37 servings).
