I have read that there is some merit to it when it comes to joint issues, but if you don’t have issues there it’s just another source of protein.

It’s actually one of the few supplements with good scientific evidence of efficacy.

It got rid of my elbow pain that lingered for a long time within a matter of a week or so.

Same for my buddies knee.

Recently watched Dr. Naiman talk about collagen basically being glycine and proline, so if you are eating a diet high in animal protein, there is probably no need to invest collagen (it gets broken down into these aminos in the gut- not absorbed into the system as pure protein. He didn't say they are crap/hoax, just feels they are overhyped...

So it might be a good supplement for someone that doesn't eat much meat basically?

Yes. Or you could supplement proline and glycine for much cheaper.

Also, I have used collagen, so just reporting what I have recently seen.

Bone Broth and Health: A Look at the Science — Kaayla Daniel, Ph.D., CCN

A South American proverb claims "Good broth will resurrect the dead." While that's clearly an exaggeration, chicken soup has enjoyed a reputation as "Jewish penicillin" and bone broths are served to convalescents all over the world. In this presentation, Dr. Daniel will review the science that supports consuming bone broth for healthy bones, joints, skin, digestion, immunity and emotional stability. She will discuss 19th and early 20th century studies on gelatin, as well as recent investigations into the "conditionally essential" amino acids proline, glycine and glutamine and "the essential sugars" N-Acetylglucosamine and N-Acetylgalactosamine. Finally, she will report on Dr. John F. Prudden's clinical trials healing osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's, and even cancer with cartilage. In short, much science supports the ancestral wisdom of consuming bone broth.
