Hi, Sarah! Thank you for choosing our bone broth for years now! So happy to hear you and your family are loving the new ramen flavor. Cheers! The Bare Bones Team

Hi, thanks for your feedback! Our instant bone broth is designed to be a protein snack that also provides hydration. Sodium is essential to providing hydration. The majority of the sodium occurs naturally from the ingredients used, not the addition of salt. Additionally, all salt is not created equal. We use only a small amount of sea salt solely for the nutritional benefit of the added minerals. Natural sea salt used sparingly can provide a plethora of health benefits including, but not limited to, strengthening the immune system. We believe a small amount of quality salt provides significantly more benefit than harm. Cheers, The Bare Bones Team

Hi, Jaqueline! Thanks so much for your feedback! We wanted to address your concerns about the sodium content. Our philosophy is to create nourishing foods using simple and consciously sourced ingredients. These products are low sodium in that the majority of the sodium occurs naturally from the ingredients used, not the addition of salt. Our classic bone broths contains around 270mg per cup, while our instant bone broths are higher at 440-460 per cup. Our instant bone broth is designed to be a protein snack that also provides hydration. Sodium is essential to providing hydration, and in the case of our instant broth, most of the sodium comes from bakers yeast extract, which is essential to the flavor. When creating our products, we always start with low sodium and work our way to what believe is the best taste. Because of the savory/umami expectation from consumers, it’s very difficult to create a broth that actually tastes good and that is truly low sodium. Additionally, all salt is not created equal. We do not use iodized salt, and only add a small amount of sea salt solely for the nutritional benefit of the added minerals. Natural sea salt used sparingly can provide a plethora of health benefits including, but not limited to, strengthening the immune system. A huge benefit for those older in age. We believe a small amount of quality salt provides significantly more benefit than harm, and will continue to produce and create products according to this philosophy.
