Almost every traditional culture (including american-anglos) made and used bone broth on a regular basis. This lost art is coming back into vogue and for good reason.  

The health benefits of bone broth are off the charts.  The gelatin in it provides nutritious protein, and supports the connective tissues - e.g. tendons, ligaments, skin, corneas, cartilages, bones, blood vessels, gut, and spinal discs - the stuff that holds you together!  This also translates into super sexy skin, hair and nails.  

It's chock full of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and trace minerals.  Even better is these minerals, when in bone broth, are totally biologically available.  That means your body can easily process and absorb them.
