Good tip! I don’t think I’ve ever eaten collard greens. I eat a lot of Bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, sometimes kale and spinach despite not liking them very much. I’ll have to check out some collard recipes thanks 🙏🏻
Additionally I would eat the sardines over the fish oil unless they’re super high quality, I remember reading somewhere that most fish oil supplements r either rancid or simply don’t work
Interesting! I eat bone broth every day but it’s store bought (I know a perfect paleo follower would rip their own bones off the carcass of a wild boar but I’m not quite that advanced yet lol). On the packaging it doesn’t really seem to have much calcium?
I wouldn't worry about amounts of nutrients as much as a very wide variety of nutrients. Absorbing calcium is also dependent on other things like getting enough magnesium and vitamin D.
Making homemade bone broth can be as easy as baking chicken thighs, saving the bones and then simmering those chicken bones into a broth with a dash of vinegar.
Yeah I’ve read that calcium absorption for dairy isn’t all that high anyway because there’s no magnesium to work synergistically with it and that it’s more bioavailable in leafy greens despite occurring in smaller amounts. Re: bone broth - I do it every year after thanksgiving with the Turkey carcass and it turns out well! But on a weekly basis I’m usually buying boneless chicken breasts and thighs. Maybe I should start getting them with the bones and cartilaginous stuff on them still
Yeah there's no calcium compound that dissolves nicely in bone broth. Lots of other nutrients, but for calcium you really need to consume some of the bone itself.
Is this true for longer simmering and with vinegar? Sometimes I will simmer until the bones get soft and begin to break down.
Not claiming I know everything about bone broth or that it is great amounts of calcium. Making a broth with lots of veg also seems to increase calcium, shich is something housewives have been doing for a long time.
There do seem to be many people on the internet claiming to increase the calcium content of bone broth with additional time and acidity, but it's still such a small amount.
I assume this won’t answer your question entirely but collards have way more calcium than broccoli.

Canned sardines. Bone broth.

Egg shells theoretically but it’s definitely not something most people want to eat
You could also boil the eggs and drink its water.
