boiled my bone broth too much?

I put bones on to boil this morning and put my pot on high on the stove to get it going (its a big pot). Then I went outside and got wood, mended some pants, filed, some things and forgot about it. So, it boiled on high for a good 20 - 30 minutes. Now I put it on the woodstove to simmer the rest of the day. But, did I ruin it by boiling it on high for too long or too hot?

You should be fine. The ideal is to leave it at a gentle simmer, but I've had my broth come to a full boil before and it has tasted fine. Just as long the pot doesn't boil dry there's not much that will happen.

I guess I am more worried about the quality of the nutrients and minerals being boiled too high and the taste is secondary. Anyone know about this?

I doubt it matters. I roast my bones first at 400 for at least 20 minutes. Or use bones that were roasted with the meat for a lot lnger than 20 mins.
