bonebroth.com exists to be a clear, trustworthy, plain-language resource on bone broth. This page sets out how we plan, write, fact-check, and review what we publish, who stands behind the site, and the standards every page has to meet before it goes live.
Who Writes and Reviews Our Content
Our content is created and reviewed by qualified people, led by Dr. Kellyann Petrucci, MS, ND, a board-certified naturopathic physician who helped bring bone broth into the mainstream conversation. Experts contribute to and review our coverage, and they do not sell products on this site. Their role is to keep our information accurate, not to promote anything.
Our Standards for Accuracy
We aim to be evidence-aware, not hype-driven. Claims are grounded in credible research, and where the evidence is limited or still emerging, we say so plainly and use careful language such as “may support” and “results vary.” We do not make medical claims, and we do not promise cures.
How We Fact-Check
Verifying a Claim
Before a factual or health-related statement is published, we check it against independent, current research. We look for agreement across more than one credible source, and we are careful to match a claim to what the evidence actually shows, rather than to what sounds most impressive. If a claim cannot be supported, it does not run.
What Counts as a Credible Source
We give the most weight to sources like these:
- Peer-reviewed studies, ideally from independent journals and databases such as PubMed and PMC.
- Systematic reviews and meta-analyses, which pool many studies into a clearer picture.
- University research and recognized health organizations.
- Recent work, generally from the last five years, unless an older study remains the definitive reference.
Sources We Avoid or Flag
We avoid relying on competitor or brand-funded studies as our main evidence, because the funding can shape the result. When we do cite research that is industry-funded, including studies connected to our parent company, we say so clearly so you can judge it in context. Where the evidence is preliminary, mixed, or based on concentrated collagen rather than broth itself, we present it that way instead of overstating it.
How We Handle Health Topics
Some topics carry more weight than others. For anything health-adjacent, including the bone broth diet, fasting, pregnancy, feeding babies, and supplements, we take extra care. We add plain safety notes, we flag who a practice may not be right for, and we encourage you to speak with a qualified professional. Our content is informational and is not a substitute for personal medical advice, as set out in our medical disclaimer.
Ownership and Editorial Independence
Who Owns bonebroth.com
bonebroth.com is owned by the parent company of DrKellyann.com. We run it as an independent editorial resource with its own standards and its own voice. Our goal is to be the trusted place people land when they search anything about bone broth, whether or not they ever buy a product.
Editorial Independence
Our ownership does not decide our conclusions. Where a claim is still being studied, we say so, and we disclose when research is industry-funded, including any study connected to our parent company or its brands.
Affiliate Links
Some links on this site may be affiliate links. That means if you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships never change what we recommend or how we describe the evidence. We point to product categories rather than pushing specific brands.
Our Experts, Products, and Sponsored Content
Experts such as Dr. Kellyann Petrucci, MS, ND contribute to and review our content, and they do not sell products on this site. We do not currently publish sponsored articles. If that ever changes, any sponsored or paid content will be clearly labeled as such.
Corrections and Updates
Bone broth research evolves, and so does our content. We review and refresh our pages over time, and when we find an error we correct it promptly and note meaningful changes. If you spot something that looks wrong, please tell us through our contact page. We take accuracy seriously and read every note.
