What Is Bone Glue?
Bone glue is a natural adhesive or pharmaceutical product made by boiling animal bones.
Its primary ingredients are collagen, gelatin, and minerals. Collagen transforms into gelatin when heated, gaining adhesive qualities. Minerals improve adhesion and support hardening. As an adhesive, bone glue is mixed with water, applied to surfaces, and left to dry for effective bonding. In pharmaceutical applications, it is refined for use in capsules and other forms, dissolving in the body to deliver its benefits.
Bone glue is valued for its natural composition, strong bond strength, compatibility with wood, and durability against impacts. In medical applications, it is biodegradable, absorbed by the body, and may assist in stopping bleeding and encouraging tissue regeneration.
