Prepackaged versus homemade bone broth depends on a few factors. They include length of cooking time, quantity and quality of bones used and the addition of any acid (e.g. apple cider vinegar).
Scan the ingredient list in store-bought broths. Shacter says that the only ingredients should be: bones, water, salt, vegetables, herbs, spices and apple cider vinegar. Watch out for anything with yeast extract, hydrolyzed yeast, autolyzed yeast, and/or flavoring. She says that these products aren't the real deal. Whittel advises that those who opt for store-bought bone broths select organic options, if possible.
According to Shacter, it's always suggested to choose organic pasture-raised sources for bones in hopes that they will contain less toxic residues such as heavy metals. She points out that some articles say to stay away from bone broth due to heavy metals, but research does not really support that. One research study on the amount of heavy metals in bone broth showed it contained less than five percent of daily recommended levels per serving.
