This viral meme typically refers to Magnesium Chloride (often prepared as a liquid solution) or Gelatin/Collagen powder, both commonly promoted in home-remedy circles for joint support and relaxation.
Taking two tablespoons of concentrated magnesium chloride liquid directly can cause significant digestive distress (like severe diarrhea), and no single ingredient cures complex conditions like nerve damage, cartilage loss, or mental health struggles.
For a safe, food-based way to incorporate bone-supporting collagen and rich nutrients, a classic homemade bone broth is a far better alternative.
Rich Beef or Chicken Bone Broth
Ingredients
* 2-3 lbs beef marrow bones or chicken carcass
* 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (helps extract minerals)
* 1 large onion, quartered
* 2 carrots, chopped
* 2 celery stalks, chopped
* 3 cloves garlic, smashed
* 1 tsp black peppercorns
* 1-2 bay leaves
* Water to cover (about 8-10 cups)
Instructions
* Roast (Optional): Roast bones at 200°C (400°F) for 25 minutes for deeper flavor.
* Combine: Place bones, vegetables, apple cider vinegar, and spices into a large stockpot or slow cooker. Cover completely with cold water.
* Simmer: Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 12 to 24 hours (or 6 hours for chicken).
* Strain & Store: Strain out solids through a fine-mesh sieve. Let cool, then store in the fridge. A layer of fat will solidify on top and can be scraped off before using.
