Today's video is the first in PREGNANCY RECIPES OF THE WEEK!!! Bone broth is high in collagen and gelatin which contain the important amino acid, glycine. Outside of pregnancy, we create enough glycine, but during pregnancy, our endogenous production cannot keep up with our needs. Enjoy this recipe to support your baby's bone, tissue, and collagen growth, especially in late pregnancy and some research shows it may also reduce stretch marks.
