You may notice that our Organic Bone Broth Protein contains some sodium, even though we don't add table salt to the Unflavored formula.
Where does the sodium come from?
The sodium occurs naturally in the beef bone broth used to make our protein powder. During the process of making bone broth, naturally occurring minerals, including sodium, remain in the finished product.
Unflavored Organic Bone Broth Protein contains just one ingredient: Organic Beef Bone Broth Protein. We don't add sodium as a separate ingredient to increase the sodium content.
Is the sodium something to be concerned about?
Sodium is an essential mineral and electrolyte that the body needs for normal fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle function.
The amount of sodium in a serving is listed on the Supplement Facts panel, so you can take it into account along with the other foods and beverages you consume throughout the day.
If you have been advised by your healthcare professional to limit sodium intake, we recommend checking the nutrition facts and discussing the product with your healthcare professional to determine whether it fits your individual needs.
Why does bone broth naturally contain sodium?
Bone broth is made from animal bones and other tissues that naturally contain minerals. Some of these minerals remain in the broth and, ultimately, in the concentrated protein powder.
So, seeing sodium on the label doesn't mean that table salt was added to the Unflavored Bone Broth Protein. It's a naturally occurring part of the finished product.
