By Dr. Josh Axe

February 15, 2021

The following is an adapted excerpt from Dr. Josh Axe's new book, Ancient Remedies.

In my recent book Ancient Remedies, I include many recipes loaded with ancient nutrients that can help make you healthier the old-fashioned way: through food!

In this full-flavored, high-protein Cleaning Soup recipe, the nutrition facts (see below) are off the charts. You get a whopping 49 grams of protein per serving and more than 20 percent daily value of a dozen vitamins and minerals.

One key ingredient is Bone Broth Protein, which offers the inherent benefits of collagen type II (which, in turn, naturally features glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid) plus 19 amino acids all rolled up in our chicken-based line.
