What is Bāng Máng Bone Broth?

Bone broth and collagen in a single-serve stick pack. Tear it open, add hot water, stir for about thirty seconds. Each cup has 10 g of protein and 5 g of collagen, plus aromatics chosen for a particular part of the day.

How do you say it?

Roughly bahng-mahng. It's Mandarin. 帮忙 means to help, or to lend a hand. Which felt about right for something you reach for when you need it.

What are the four broths?

Spark for the morning, Flow for midday, Revive for après, Unwind for the evening. Same base in each; the aromatics change. Spark and Flow are launching first. Revive and Unwind are part of the day we're building next.

When is the Kickstarter?

Fall 2026. Get on the list and you'll hear the date before it's public, along with early-bird details. Exact launch date to be confirmed.

How do samples work?

We're sampling on-mountain this season, and we'll share sample news with the list first. Eligibility, timing, quantities and regions are still being finalized. We'd rather tell you exactly how it works than promise something vague now.

What does “inspired by traditional Chinese food wisdom” mean?

It means we looked at how Chinese kitchens have long paired ingredients with the season, the time of day, and the table, and used that as a culinary starting point. It is not a medical claim, a prescription, or a reproduction of any specific formula. It's a way of cooking, applied to a broth you can carry.

Is it a supplement?

We think of it as food. A broth. Final product classification, nutrition panel and ingredient statement will be published with the finished label.

What's in it, and what's not?

A bone-broth base with collagen, a whole-food umami system (lion's mane, shiitake, kombu and miso), sea salt and ginger, plus a handful of aromatics per variety. The full, final ingredient list and allergen statement will be published with the finished label. If you have an allergy, please wait for that. We're not going to guess.

Is there caffeine?

No. Spark is deliberately caffeine-free; it's meant to be warm and steady rather than a substitute for coffee.

Where will you ship?

Shipping regions will be confirmed with the Kickstarter campaign.

What will it cost?

Pricing will be announced with the campaign. List members see early-bird pricing first.

I run a lodge, shop or café. Can I stock it?

Yes. We’re building the first partners now. Tell us where you are and we’ll be in touch.
