Nick & Justin Mares
We’re two brothers, Nick and Justin, who are passionate about health. Our mom would say it’s due to the zucchini chocolate cakes (bleh) she used to make us when we were young.
It was this passion for health that drove us to start Kettle & Fire bone broth - America’s first USDA grass-fed bone broth. Our company has one mission: to help people improve their health and their lives.
Why did they satrt the company
This company started when Justin and I first heard about bone broth and its amazing health benefits in late 2013. Justin was looking to incorporate bone broth into his Paleo diet more regularly with all his travel. Around the same time, Nick tore his ACL while playing soccer (ouch) and was looking for foods that could help with the healing and recovery process.
Being the incredible brother he is, Justin went online to buy Nick some bone broth... and couldn't find anything that worked. After lots of searching, he could only find frozen bone broth…
made with bones from non-organic, non-grass-fed cattle…
shipped in styrofoam containers (which are terrible for the environment).
These things combined were enough to stop us from buying bone broth. And we weren’t the only ones.
If our goal was to deliver the amazing health benefits of bone broth to the world, we had to find another way. This passion for creating a superior bone broth led us on a year-long journey to find the best recipe, the best bones, the best ingredients, and the best packaging. We can now proudly say that we have succeeded.
Our bone broth is made with organic ingredients but not certified organic.
We will be getting our certification in June or July 2018

Article: The Ultimate Guide to Bone Broth Benefits
Did you know that bones are basically 50 percent protein? Cooking them in a broth extracts the protein and amino acids - like collagen, glycine and glucosamine - that are then converted by your body into energy, stronger muscles, and a more effective immune system.
If someone wants a more in-depth article sent them this one from Chris Kresser: The Bountiful Benefits of Bone Broth: a Comprehensive Guide
The amount of bone broth needed will vary from person to person, condition to condition. Below are recommended serving sized for various conditions but it can vary even still.
If someone has a more mild condition they may be good with less and if it is more severe or they want faster results they will need more.

The old remedy of sipping chicken soup when you’re sick is leveled up when you’re drinking chicken or beef bone broth. While soup stock can be nourishing, you’re adding in a whole new level of nutrients when you’re drinking bone stock.

There have not been any long term studies on bone broth specifically as it is only relatively recently that most people realized the benefits. Here is what we know.
- Ayurvedic medicine, which has been around for thousands of years has always prescribed bone broth as the number one remedy to digestive issues and also muscular skeletal issues. Here is a Google search for ayurvedic and bone broth https://www.google.com/search?biw=1666&bih=949&ei=4osEWrfVM-bejwTImJSwBQ&q=ayurvedic+and+bone+broth&oq=ayurvedic+and+bone+broth&gs_l=psy-ab.3...84.4590.0.4929.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.x6RiOgvhaPE A very good book called Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food, goes into the details about how foods our ancestors ate were stables because of how they impacted our health (not about paleo at all).
- Another great reference is a podcast interview our founder Justin Mares did with Wellness Mama where he talks about the studies out there and that still need to be done https://wellnessmama.com/podcast/kettlefire-bone-broth/
- Also, Chris Kresser has a fantastic article that links to many studies done on the amino acids and collagen: https://chriskresser.com/the-bountiful-benefits-of-bone-broth-a-comprehensive-guide/ Again, these are not on bone broth itself
- And finally, the Untied States Olympic Committee has recommended all athlete include collagen in their diets due to the health benefits. There are many books that go into this: https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&hl=en&q=olympic+committee+and+collagen
