Why You’ve Been Making Bone Broth Wrong

Three months ago, I couldn’t squat without my left knee feeling like it was grinding bone on bone.

At 55, I figured it was just “part of getting older.” But when the pain started interfering with my bodyweight exercises, I knew I had to sort it.

I did what any sensible bloke would do: research. Glucosamine. Chondroitin. Hyaluronic acid. All the supplements the studies mention for joint health.

Then I stumbled across something that changed everything. A specific type of bone broth that actually delivers what those expensive supplements promise—naturally, and for a fraction of the cost.

And this broth isn’t just for dodgy knees. It’s perfect for breaking fasts, healing your gut, speeding recovery, and other benefits I’ll reveal in a minute.

Here’s the embarrassing bit: my Thai wife has been making her best dish with one of these secret ingredients for years. Her version is so good, everyone who tries it says she should sell it commercially.

But she’s always made mine differently. Because hers includes an ingredient I refused to eat.

Chicken feet.

Yeah. Those ugly, gnarly chicken feet you see in Asian markets. I was too squeamish.

Turns out, this ingredient together with another odd ingredient creates the most powerful bone broth for men over 40.

Let me explain why.

Why Regular Bone Broth Misses the Target

Most people making bone broth for joint health are using beef bones or chicken carcasses.

And all the guides on how to make bone broth miss the key ingredients that actually deliver results.

They are fine for general health. The gelatin is good. The minerals are beneficial. It makes a rich, tasty broth.

But if you want to actually help your knees, hips, and shoulders—if you want the compounds that support cartilage, reduce inflammation, and lubricate joints—you need cartilage, not just bones.

Beef marrow bones give you minerals and type I collagen. Great for skin, bones, and general health.

But type II collagen, glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid? Those come from cartilage and connective tissue—the stuff in joints, not the hard bone material most people simmer.

Unless you’re using beef knuckles, joints, and cartilage-rich cuts, you’re missing the joint-specific compounds.

Chicken feet are basically all cartilage, skin, and connective tissue. This is exactly what makes them perfect for joint health.

Fish skin provides highly bioavailable marine collagen that absorbs 1.5x better than land animal collagen.

See the difference?

Regular bone broth = general health tonic.

Chicken feet + fish skin broth = targeted joint support formula.

This is what I call Warrior Broth—and understanding the science behind muscle growth and recovery after 40 is what makes this such a powerful addition to your nutrition strategy.

Why Chicken Feet Are the Secret Weapon

Chicken feet aren’t bones. They’re mostly cartilage, skin, and connective tissue.

This is exactly what makes them perfect for joint health.

When you simmer chicken feet for the right amount of time, you’re extracting:

Type II Collagen

The specific collagen type found in cartilage and joints. This is what your knees and hips need, not type I collagen from bones.

Type II collagen makes up 50% of all protein in cartilage. It provides structure and support to joint cartilage, and helps maintain the integrity of the cushioning between your bones.

As we age, our bodies produce less collagen naturally. Supplementing with type II collagen from food sources like chicken feet can help slow this decline.

Glucosamine

Naturally present in cartilage. Supports cartilage structure and slows breakdown. This is the same compound in those expensive joint supplements you see advertised everywhere.

Research shows that glucosamine sulfate can reduce joint pain and improve function in people with osteoarthritis. But synthetic supplements cost £15-25 per month. Chicken feet provide it naturally for pennies.

Chondroitin

Helps cartilage retain water and maintain cushioning. Also found in those same expensive supplements.

Chondroitin sulfate is a major component of cartilage. It helps cartilage stay hydrated and elastic, maintaining that crucial cushioning effect that keeps your joints moving smoothly.

Some studies suggest that chondroitin may slow the breakdown of cartilage and even help rebuild it over time.

Hyaluronic Acid

The lubricating fluid in your joints. Keeps everything moving smoothly. Reduces that grinding, creaking sensation.

Hyaluronic acid is found in high concentrations in joint fluid (synovial fluid). It acts as a shock absorber and lubricant, allowing your joints to move freely without friction.

Many doctors inject hyaluronic acid directly into arthritic joints (viscosupplementation) to provide relief. Chicken feet broth provides it orally, where your body can use it where needed.

The Extraction Process

For maximum collagen extraction, you need patience:

Stovetop: 12-24 hours on the lowest heat (best for deepest extraction)
Slow Cooker: 12-24 hours on low (most convenient, set and forget)
Pressure Cooker: 2-4 hours on high pressure (fastest option if you’re short on time)

After proper cooking, the chicken feet basically dissolve. Everything valuable gets extracted into the broth. You’re left with golden, gelatinous liquid packed with joint-supporting compounds.

And here’s the thing: your body recognizes these compounds because they come from actual cartilage. Not synthesized in a lab. Not isolated and processed. Just… cartilage broken down into its component parts.

This natural form may be more bioavailable than synthetic supplements because it comes packaged with cofactors and supporting nutrients that help your body absorb and use the compounds effectively.

Why Fish Skin Completes the Formula for Your Bone Broth

Fish skin provides something chicken feet can’t: highly bioavailable marine collagen.

Marine collagen (from fish) has smaller peptides than land animal collagen. Smaller peptides = easier absorption. Your body can use it more efficiently.

Studies show marine collagen absorbs up to 1.5 times better than bovine or chicken collagen. This means more of what you consume actually gets into your bloodstream and to your tissues.

Type I Collagen

Found in skin, bones, tendons, and blood vessels. Complements the type II collagen from chicken feet. Together, you get a complete collagen profile.

Type I collagen is the most abundant collagen in your body. It provides structure to your skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues throughout your body.

While type II collagen targets joint cartilage specifically, type I collagen supports the tendons and ligaments that connect muscle to bone and stabilize your joints.

For men over 40 doing bodyweight workouts, strong tendons and ligaments are just as important as healthy cartilage. They’re what allow you to train hard without injury.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

If some fat remains on the fish skin, you’re getting anti-inflammatory omega-3s as a bonus.

EPA and DHA from fish are powerful anti-inflammatory compounds that reduce systemic inflammation, support joint health, and may help reduce exercise-induced muscle damage.

This is why combining fish skin with chicken feet creates such a powerful recovery tool—you’re addressing inflammation while simultaneously providing the building blocks for tissue repair.

Glycine and Proline

The amino acid building blocks your body uses to synthesize its own collagen.

These amino acids are conditionally essential—meaning your body can make them, but not always in sufficient quantities, especially as you age or when training hard.

Providing abundant glycine and proline through bone broth gives your body the raw materials it needs to produce collagen where it’s needed most.

The Complete Collagen Profile

When you combine chicken feet (type II collagen for joints) with fish skin (highly absorbable type I collagen), you’re giving your body everything it needs to repair and maintain connective tissue throughout your entire body.

This is why I call it Warrior Broth. It’s the complete formula for men over 40 who refuse to let joint pain and declining mobility slow them down.

Five Stunning Bone Broth Benefits Beyond Joint Pain

1. Perfect for Breaking Fasts

If you do intermittent fasting or OMAD, bone broth is the ideal way to break a fast.

Why it works:

• Gentle on your digestive system after hours of fasting
• Mineral-rich (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium)
• Provides protein without dramatically spiking insulin
• Rehydrates effectively
• Warm and soothing on an empty stomach

Warrior Broth takes this further because the collagen and gelatin actively heal your gut lining while you’re transitioning back to solid food.

Many people report feeling more energized and less bloated when breaking fasts with bone broth compared to jumping straight into solid meals.

2. Gut Healing

The gelatin in bone broth coats and soothes your intestinal lining. Think of it like internal Vaseline for your gut.

The science: Gelatin contains glutamine and glycine, amino acids that support the intestinal barrier. They help repair “leaky gut”—a condition where the intestinal lining becomes permeable, allowing partially digested food particles and toxins to enter the bloodstream.

If you have IBS, leaky gut, food sensitivities, or just general digestive discomfort, daily bone broth can make a massive difference.

Many people notice improvements within 2-3 weeks: less bloating, better digestion, fewer food reactions, more regular bowel movements.

For men over 40, gut health becomes increasingly important—it affects everything from nutrient absorption to immune function to mental health. A healthy gut means better recovery from training and better overall health as you age.

3. Skin, Hair, and Nails

Collagen isn’t just for joints. It’s the structural protein in your skin, hair, and nails too.

What you might notice after 4-8 weeks of daily consumption:

• Firmer skin with fewer fine lines
• Stronger nails that grow faster and break less
• Thicker, healthier hair
• Faster wound healing
• Less dry, flaky skin

Vain? Maybe. But looking younger while training hard? I’ll take it.

The type I collagen from fish skin is particularly beneficial for skin—it’s the same type of collagen used in expensive anti-aging creams and treatments, except you’re providing it from the inside out.

4. Training Recovery

The amino acids in bone broth—especially glycine—support muscle recovery and reduce inflammation after training.

How it helps:

• Glycine promotes muscle protein synthesis
• Reduces exercise-induced inflammation
• Supports connective tissue repair
• Improves sleep quality (which is when recovery happens)
• Provides easily digestible protein post-workout

I drink a cup after my afternoon workout. It helps with soreness, speeds recovery between sessions, and honestly just feels good going down.

Combined with proper bodyweight training for men over 40, Warrior Broth becomes a powerful tool for maintaining training consistency—you recover faster, experience less joint pain, and can train hard more frequently.

5. Sleep Quality

Glycine (abundant in bone broth) has a calming effect on the nervous system. Some studies show it improves sleep quality and helps you fall asleep faster.

The mechanism: Glycine acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. It lowers body temperature slightly and promotes parasympathetic nervous system activity (rest and digest mode).

Research shows that 3 grams of glycine before bed can:

• Reduce time to fall asleep
• Improve sleep quality
• Reduce daytime sleepiness
• Improve cognitive performance the next day

I often have a cup before bed a few nights a week. Sleep feels deeper. Could be placebo. I don’t care. I know it works.

For men over 40, optimizing sleep is critical—it’s when your body produces testosterone, repairs muscle, and consolidates memory. Better sleep = better recovery = better results.

How to Make Warrior Bone Broth: Three Bone Broth Recipes

Right, here’s the actual recipe with three different approaches depending on your priorities.

The Ingredients (Same for All Methods)

Core ingredients:

• 500g chicken feet (cleaned and rinsed)
• 300g fish skin, heads, or bones (from salmon, snapper, or any white fish)
• 2 onions, quartered
• 4-5 slices fresh ginger
• 4 garlic cloves, smashed
• 2 carrots, roughly chopped
• 2 celery stalks
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (helps extract minerals and collagen)
• 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns (aids absorption and adds flavor)
• Water to cover (about 3-4 liters)
• Salt to taste (add after cooking)

Method 1: One-Pot Method (Simplest)

Best for: Beginners, convenience, minimal effort

Process:

1. Blanch the chicken feet: Boil them for 2-3 minutes in water, then rinse. This removes impurities and makes clearer broth.
2. Combine chicken feet, vegetables, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, and vinegar in a large pot or slow cooker.
3. Cover with water and bring to a boil.
4. Reduce to gentle simmer and skim off any foam that rises (first 20-30 minutes).
5. Simmer for 12-24 hours (stovetop on lowest heat or slow cooker on low). The longer, the better for maximum collagen extraction.
6. Add fish skin/bones in the final 45 minutes of cooking. Fish bones are delicate and break down quickly—adding them at the end prevents the broth from becoming chalky or cloudy. Short on time? Use a pressure cooker: Cook chicken feet for 2-4 hours on high pressure, then add fish for the final 10-15 minutes.
7. Strain through a fine mesh strainer. Discard solids.
8. Cool and refrigerate. When chilled, it should turn to thick jelly—wobbly and gelatinous. That’s the sign you’ve extracted maximum collagen.

Pros: Simple, one pot, minimal cleanup
Cons: Fish might get slightly overcooked if you’re not watching the time

Method 2: Separate Batches (Best Quality)

Best for: Maximum quality, optimal extraction of each ingredient

Process:

Part A: Chicken Feet Broth

1. Blanch chicken feet (2-3 minutes boil, then rinse)
2. Combine feet with half the vegetables, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, vinegar
3. Cover with water (2 liters)
4. Simmer 12-24 hours
5. Strain and reserve

Part B: Fish Broth

1. Combine fish skin/bones with remaining vegetables, ginger, garlic
2. Cover with water (1-2 liters)
3. Bring to gentle simmer
4. Simmer 30-45 minutes ONLY (no longer or it becomes chalky)
5. Strain and reserve

Part C: Combine

1. Mix both broths together in equal or preferred proportions
2. Season with salt to taste
3. Store together

Pros: Each ingredient cooked optimally, best flavor, highest quality
Cons: Two separate cooking processes, more time and effort

Method 3: Chicken Feet Only (Easiest)

Best for: Absolute beginners, people who can’t find fish easily

Process:

1. Follow Method 1 instructions but skip the fish entirely
2. Use only chicken feet with vegetables
3. Simmer 12-24 hours
4. Strain and store

What you get:

• Type II collagen (joint-specific)
• Glucosamine and chondroitin
• Hyaluronic acid
• All the joint support benefits

What you miss:

• Type I collagen (skin, tendons, ligaments)
• Enhanced bioavailability of marine collagen
• Omega-3 fatty acids

This is still an excellent broth—don’t let perfection be the enemy of good. Chicken feet alone will dramatically improve joint health.

You can always add fish skin later once you’re comfortable with the basic recipe.

Storage

Refrigerator: 5-7 days in sealed container
Freezer: 3-6 months in portions

Pro tip: Freeze in ice cube trays or silicone muffin tins for easy single-serving portions. Pop out 2-3 cubes, reheat, drink.

Dosage

1-2 cups daily for optimal results.

Ways to consume:

• Drink straight (warm with salt and pepper)
• Use as soup base
• Cook rice or quinoa in it
• Add to sauces and gravies

Mix into protein shakes (works surprisingly well)

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Problem: Broth Didn’t Gel When Chilled

Cause: Not enough collagen extracted

Solutions:

• Simmer longer (aim for 18-24 hours minimum)
• Use more chicken feet (try 750g instead of 500g)
• Make sure you didn’t boil too hard (gentle simmer only)
• Add more vinegar next time (helps extract collagen)

Note: If it didn’t gel but still tastes good, it’s still beneficial. Some batches gel more than others depending on the feet quality.

Problem: Broth Tastes Fishy or “Off”

Cause: Fish overcooked

Solutions:

• Reduce fish simmering time to 30 minutes max
• Use fresher fish (check for smell before adding)
• Rinse fish thoroughly before adding
• Try Method 2 (separate batches) for better control

Problem: Broth Is Cloudy

Cause: Boiled too hard instead of simmered

Solutions:

• Keep temperature at bare simmer (tiny bubbles, not rolling boil)
• Skim foam more thoroughly in first 30 minutes
• Strain through cheesecloth for clearer broth

Note: Cloudy broth is still nutritious, just less visually appealing.

Problem: Broth Smells Bad

Cause: Didn’t blanch chicken feet properly, or feet/fish weren’t fresh

Solutions:

• Always blanch feet for full 2-3 minutes
• Use fresher ingredients
• Skim foam thoroughly
• Add more ginger (natural deodorizer)

Problem: Too Salty or Bland

Cause: Salt added at wrong time or wrong amount

Solutions:

• Don’t add salt during cooking (only at the end)
• Season each cup individually when reheating
• If too salty, dilute with water and re-season
• If bland, add salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon when serving

Integration with GTW Training

Warrior Broth isn’t just a supplement—it’s a strategic tool for supporting your calisthenics and bodyweight skills training and recovery.

When to Drink It

Post-Workout (Within 2 hours):

• Provides easily digestible protein and amino acids
• Reduces inflammation from training stress
• Supports connective tissue repair
• Rehydrates effectively

Before Bed:

• Glycine promotes deeper sleep
• Nighttime is when most recovery and repair happens
• Supports growth hormone release during sleep

Breaking Fast:

• Gentle on digestive system

How Your Warrior Broth Supports Bodyweight Training

For pull-ups, dips, rows, push-ups, and other compound movements:

• Strengthens tendons and ligaments (type I collagen)
• Protects joint cartilage (type II collagen)
• Reduces inflammation from high-volume training
• Speeds recovery between sessions

As you progress through GTW levels (Primer through Level 6), training intensity increases. Your connective tissues need support to keep up with the demands you’re placing on them.

Warrior Broth provides that support naturally, without relying solely on synthetic supplements.

Integration with Your Supplement Stack

Warrior Broth works synergistically with the supplements many men over 40 take for joint health and recovery.

How It Complements:

Glucosamine + Chondroitin Supplements:

• Broth provides natural versions alongside synthetic supplements
• May allow you to reduce supplement dosage over time
• Provides cofactors that help absorption

Omega-3 Fish Oil:

• Broth contains some omega-3s (from fish skin)
• Anti-inflammatory effects stack with fish oil
• Together create powerful inflammation control

Curcumin/Turmeric:

• Both reduce inflammation through different pathways
• Synergistic effect when combined
• Broth provides building blocks while curcumin reduces breakdown

Magnesium:

• Broth contains some magnesium from bones
• Both support muscle recovery and sleep
• Complementary effects for overall recovery

Collagen Powder Supplements:

• Broth may reduce or eliminate need for expensive collagen powder
• Food-based collagen is more bioavailable than isolated powder
• Saves £25-30 per month

The Cost Advantage

Synthetic supplement stack for joint health:

• Glucosamine + Chondroitin: £15-25/month
• Collagen powder: £25-35/month
• Total: £40-60/month

Warrior Broth:

• Chicken feet: £2-4 per batch
• Fish skin: Free to £2 per batch
• Vegetables: £2-3 per batch
• Total per batch: £4-9
• One batch lasts 6-8 days (12-16 cups)
• Monthly cost: £18-36

You’re getting natural, food-based compounds for 50-60% of the cost of synthetic supplements—and they’re more bioavailable.

Recipe Variations and Upgrades

Once you’ve mastered the basic Warrior Broth, try these variations:

Additional Protein Sources

Add for extra collagen:

• Beef knuckle bones (type I collagen boost)
• Pork trotters (rich in collagen)
• Duck feet (similar benefits to chicken feet)
• Lamb bones with joints

Use alongside chicken feet, not instead of them.

Flavor Variations

Asian-style:

• Add 2-3 stalks lemongrass
• Add 2 star anise
• Add 1-inch fresh turmeric (anti-inflammatory bonus)
• Fish sauce instead of salt

Western-style:

• Add fresh thyme and rosemary
• Add bay leaves
• Add parsnips
• Black pepper and sea salt

Thai-style:

• Add galangal (similar to ginger)
• Add kaffir lime leaves
• Add cilantro stems
• Finish with lime juice

Batch Cooking Tips

Make large batches:

• Use a 10-litre stockpot (I just invested in a large 10 litre soup pot)
• Triple the recipe
• Freeze in portions

Reduce for storage:

• After straining, simmer uncovered to reduce by half
• Creates concentrated “bone broth gel”
• Reconstitute with water when ready to use
• Takes up less freezer space

What to Expect: Detailed Timeline

Understanding the timeline helps you stay consistent and recognize the benefits as they develop.

Week 1-2: Initial Adaptation

What’s happening internally:

• Your body is starting to absorb and use the compounds
• Digestive system adapting to regular gelatin intake
• Initial anti-inflammatory effects beginning

What you might notice:

• Slight reduction in morning stiffness
• Digestive comfort (less bloating, easier bowel movements)
• Better hydration
• Improved sleep if drinking before bed

Don’t expect dramatic changes yet—your body is building up reserves.

Week 3-4: Noticeable Improvements

What’s happening internally:

• Collagen being incorporated into cartilage and connective tissues
• Inflammation markers decreasing
• Joint lubrication improving

What you might notice:

• Joint pain noticeably reduced (especially morning creakiness)
• Less soreness after training
• Recovery between workouts feels faster
• Skin looking healthier (might get compliments)
• Energy levels more stable

This is when most people become convinced it’s working.

Week 6-8: Significant Benefits

What’s happening internally:

• Cartilage repair processes accelerating
• Tendons and ligaments strengthening
• Gut lining fully healed (if damaged)
• Systemic inflammation at lower baseline

What you might notice:

• Joint comfort during training significantly improved
• Can train harder or more frequently without pain
• Skin visibly firmer and more youthful
• Hair and nails growing faster and stronger
• Sleep quality noticeably better
• Digestion optimized

This is the maintenance phase—keep going to maintain benefits.

Month 3+: Long-Term Benefits

What’s happening internally:

• Sustained collagen synthesis
• Joint health maintained
• Connective tissues resilient
• Lower chronic inflammation

What you might notice:

• Consistent, pain-free training
• Looking and feeling younger
• Better resilience to training stress
• Faster recovery from any minor injuries

The key is consistency. Missing a few days won’t erase progress, but regular consumption (5-7 days per week) maintains optimal benefits.

The Squeamish Factor (I Get It)

Look, I refused chicken feet for years because they look… well, like feet. Gnarly, wrinkly, weird.

But here’s the thing: you don’t eat them.

You simmer them. They break down. They dissolve into the broth. What’s left is just bone fragments that you strain out and toss.

You’re not biting into a chicken foot. You’re drinking a golden, savory broth that tastes like really good chicken soup.

Same with fish skin. You’re not eating slimy skin. It melts into the broth. You strain it out. Gone.

All the benefits, none of the gross factor.

I promise, once you taste it—especially if you add a bit of salt and drink it warm—you’ll wonder why you waited so long.

Where to Find the Ingredients

Chicken Feet

Best sources:

• Any Asian market (Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Korean)
• Some regular supermarkets (ethnic food section or meat counter)
• Online (frozen, delivered)

Price: Usually £2-4 per kg. Dirt cheap.

What to look for: Clean, pale, no strong smell. Fresh or frozen both work fine.

Fish Skin, Heads, and Bones

Best sources:

• Ask at the fish counter (often free or very cheap)
• Asian markets (fish heads sold specifically for soup)
• Fishmongers (they usually throw away skin and heads—they’ll give them to you)
• Buy whole fish and fillet it yourself (save skin and bones)

Price: Free to £2-3 per batch.

Best fish: Salmon, snapper, cod, halibut, any white fish. Avoid very oily fish like mackerel (too strong flavor).

Total Cost Per Batch

Ingredients breakdown:

• Chicken feet: £2-4
• Fish skin/bones: £0-2
• Vegetables (onions, carrots, celery, ginger, garlic): £2-3
• Vinegar, peppercorns, salt: Pennies

Total: £4-9 per batch

One batch makes 12-16 cups.

Chicken feet cost a few dollars per kilo. Fish skin is often free from the fish counter.

One batch makes 12-16 cups. Compare that to expensive collagen powders and joint supplements. You’re getting superior results for pennies per cup.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Warrior Broth last?

Refrigerator: 5-7 days in a sealed container
Freezer: 3-6 months without quality loss

Always smell before consuming. If it smells off or has mold, discard it.

Can I reuse the chicken feet for a second batch?

No. After 12-24 hours of simmering, all the collagen, gelatin, and nutrients have been extracted. The feet will be completely falling apart.

You could make a very weak “second batch” by simmering the same bones again, but it won’t have the same benefits. Start fresh each time.

Can I give it to my kids?

Yes. Bone broth is excellent for kids—supports growth, provides minerals, easy to digest.

Many parents use it as a base for soups or let kids drink it warm with a bit of pink salt.

What if I’m vegetarian or vegan?

Warrior Broth is not vegetarian/vegan-friendly as it requires animal products to provide collagen and cartilage compounds.

Plant-based alternatives for some benefits:

• Mushroom broth (rich in minerals and umami)
• Seaweed broth (minerals, especially iodine)
• Supplemental vegan glucosamine (derived from corn)

However, you cannot get type I or type II collagen from plants. Collagen is unique to animal sources.

Some vegans choose to consume collagen supplements for joint health despite otherwise plant-based diets—that’s a personal ethical decision.

Does it break a fast?

Yes, bone broth contains calories and protein, so it technically breaks a fast.

However, it’s one of the best ways to break a fast because:

• Low insulin response
• Easy to digest
• Gentle on stomach
• Provides minerals and electrolytes

Many people doing intermittent fasting use bone broth as their “breakfast” to transition from fasted to fed state.

Can I make it in an Instant Pot?

Yes. Pressure cooker instructions:

1. Add all ingredients (chicken feet, fish, vegetables, vinegar, peppercorns)
2. Fill with water to max line
3. Cook on HIGH pressure for 2-3 hours
4. Natural pressure release (don’t quick release)
5. Strain and store

Note: Pressure cooking is faster but may not extract quite as much collagen as 24-hour slow simmer. Still very effective though.
