Ancient Nutrition Bone Broth Protein Review
This one blends more than one animal source into a single scoop. We checked what that means for the sourcing claim.
Our Take
Ancient Nutrition's Pure formula draws from grass-fed, cage-free, and wild-caught sources rather than beef bone broth alone. That's a different approach than the single-source beef powders in this category, you get a broader collagen-type mix, but the sourcing claim on the label covers three different animal standards instead of one.
At 20g protein per serving with collagen included, it delivers on the core bone-broth protein promise. If single-source beef sourcing matters to you specifically, check the label closely, this isn't that.
The Basics
20g protein per serving, includes collagen. See our full beef protein guide for how bone broth protein differs from isolate and whey.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "grass-fed, cage-free, and wild-caught" mean on one label?
Ancient Nutrition's Pure formula blends bone broth from more than one animal source, typically beef (grass-fed), chicken (cage-free), and fish (wild-caught), into a single protein powder. You're getting a broader collagen-type mix than a single-source beef bone broth powder, at the cost of the label being less specific about any one sourcing standard.
Does it include collagen alongside protein?
Yes, that's the point of a bone broth protein powder over a standard isolate. You get roughly 20g of protein per serving along with the collagen peptides and amino acids (glycine, proline) that come from simmered bone broth.
Is a multi-source blend better than single-source beef bone broth?
Not necessarily better, just broader. If you want to know you're getting beef specifically and only beef, a single-source product like Paleovalley's is more straightforward. If you want a wider collagen-type mix in one scoop, the blend has an edge.
