Wow, I didn't expect such a speedy reply!!  Thanks, Neil!!  And hmm, I'm thinking that this way of absoring extra calcium would be preferable to the questionable supplements you all were talking about!!  I, too, take the D3, and have been wondering whether I needed to also supp with the calcium.  Yum, I'd rather use the broth!! 
 
I rawfeed my dogs, and just bought them some beef marrow bones last week...now I'm starting to think I might just steal some of their dogfood, hehehe.

Love,
Bren



Making broth turns out to be easy: simmer bones (cooked leftovers or
raw) in water (enough cover the bones) for a while (4 hours to
forever) with a splash of vinegar and whatever herbs you fancy.

I put in half an onion, 3 chopped garlic gloves, and a few dried
herbs. All went into my slow cookery pot and I left it all day, adding
some fresh basil and rosemary half way through.

Broth contains nutrients not vitamin D, lots of calcium and minerals
that the weak acid (thanks to the vinegar) extracts from the bones.

The main thing is simmering the bones in the water splash of vinegar
solution: any herbs or veg  is a added extra and probably not
essential.

Cheers

Neil
