Why does your Instant Bone Broth contain so much sodium?Updated 3 months ago

Our Instant Bone Broth is designed to be a protein-rich snack that also supports hydration — and sodium plays an essential role in effective hydration.

That said, the majority of the sodium in our broth occurs naturally from the nutrient-rich ingredients we use, not from added salt.

When developing our recipes, we start with a low-sodium base and adjust only as needed to achieve great taste. Because bone broth has a naturally savory, umami flavor profile, it’s challenging to deliver satisfying flavor without sodium.

Importantly, we only use high-quality sea salt, never iodized salt. Natural sea salt, when used in moderation, can offer a range of health benefits beyond just flavor.
