Yes, chicken broth is comforting when we catch a cold...but that's not its only benefit! It contains collagen and many minerals and vitamins.
Collagen is one of the main proteins of the body: more than 25% of the body's structure is made of these proteins. The 19 different amino acids that make up collagen will nourish and moisturize the dermis, connective tissue, bones, skin and even nails to give them more strength, elasticity and durability!
As for vitamins and minerals, chicken broth contains mainly calcium and phosphorus, two elements that are beneficial in maintaining and strengthening bones, muscles and nerves.
