Consider chicken your choice to heal and seal the gut, though both chicken and beef contain amino acids and nutrients that support gut health.
Chicken bones do offer less collagen than beef, but they also contain a different type. Chicken bones are predominantly type II collagen, which is great for joints/cartilage.
It’s also key for the immune system and digestive support, especially for healing and sealing the gut lining.
When you use chicken feet in your broth (like we do here at FOND!) you end up with bone broth that’s slightly higher in protein than beef.
Using the feet lends more collagen, too! Though beef still has more collagen overall, thanks to its denser, heavier bones.
Chicken bone broth is also a little easier to digest than beef, though bone broth as a whole is easy to digest due to the low and slow simmering process.
