Tripe in the kitchens of the world
Tripe is one of the most widely eaten organ products in the world. In Florence, stalls have been selling lampredotto, a roll with stewed abomasum, for centuries. In Mexico, menudo, a tripe soup, is a Sunday dish, and in Normandy tripes à la mode de Caen are on the menu. In the Netherlands, too, tripe used to be a regular part of the menu.
From the pastures of New Zealand
The intestines and tripe come from cattle that graze outdoors their whole lives, mainly in New Zealand and partly in Australia. They are not given added hormones or antibiotics. Both are freeze-dried raw and not defatted. There is no liver in this product. The supplements are produced in the United States.
Facts about tripe
A cow has four stomachs. The rumen is by far the largest, with a capacity of around a hundred litres or more. In it, bacteria break down the grass that the animal cannot digest itself.
Grass-Fed Beef Intestines from Ancestral Supplements
Native Americans and other traditional peoples did it for hundreds of years, and the practice is still widespread: eating the organs of a healthy animal to support their own health. The intestines and stomach (tripe) of a cow contain gut-specific building blocks, peptides, enzymes and other important nutrients and are rich in vitamin B12 and selenium. Eating the intestines of an animal fits into the age-old human tradition of eating animals nose to tail, and these organs are a source of valuable nutrients that resonate and are compatible with your own body.
The power of Beef Intestines
The organ supplement Beef Intestines from Ancestral Supplements contains the intestines or entrails and the tripe of grass-fed cattle from New Zealand and Australia. The tripe or rumen is the forestomach of a cow, in which incoming food is fermented by micro-organisms. This stomach and the intestines, filled with half-fermented, half-digested grasses and herbs and with millions of good bacteria, are rich in the cell-protecting nutrients zinc, which helps normal metabolism, selenium, which has an antioxidant effect, phosphorus, which is good for the skeleton, and vitamin B12, which supports the immune system. Grassfed Intestines from Ancestral Supplements is also a source of gut-specific building blocks, collagen, glutamine and probiotics and provides valuable nutrients in a unique, high concentration.
How do organ supplements work?
Your body needs essential proteins in order to transform them through protein synthesis into nucleoproteins, antibodies, enzymes and tissue cells. Organ meat is an important source of essential proteins, but also of micronutrients, fatty acids, enzymes and cofactors that nourish and support our whole body. Finally, organ meat contains organ-specific nutrients that travel in our body to the target organ: the corresponding organ in the human body. The body seems to recognise the nutritional components in an animal organ and to be able to transport them to the same organ in the human body that needs this specific composition of nutrients. Mother Nature has arranged it so that these substances end up exactly where your body needs them. By taking organ supplements, you can provide your body and your organs with essential micronutrients and bioactive substances.

Eating nose to tail
For anyone pursuing a sustainable, ethical and healthy way of life, the nose-to-tail principle or evolutionary eating could be an interesting starting point when eating animal products. When we nourish ourselves this way, we not only make sure that as little meat as possible is wasted; eating animal organs also corresponds to the age-old human tradition of eating organ meat because of the high concentration of nutrients it contains. The knowledge that organ meat is extremely rich in essential nutrients already existed in many ancient civilisations. Animal organs contain high concentrations of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, K and E, as well as magnesium, iron, choline, iodine and vitamin B12. These are nutrients that many people on a modern diet could do with a little more of. In addition, the specific nutrient composition of an animal organ matches the nutrients that the same organ in the human body can use.

According to the principles of Weston Price
American dentist Weston Price (1870-1948) studied the dietary habits of traditional peoples around the world. He discovered that the original inhabitants of Canada attached great value to eating meat from animal organs; bone marrow in particular was popular. Organs were a staple of the daily diet of our early ancestors, and for good reason: the intake of fat-soluble vitamins and a large share of the essential minerals came through the organs of animals.
Organ meat of the highest quality
New Zealand and Australia seem made for raising healthy cattle. The climate there is temperate and pasture grass grows fresh and green all year round. This means that cows there can eat the food that is healthiest for them every day of the year. The cattle used for Ancestral Supplements products come from New Zealand and Australia and are strictly grass-fed. They are raised without the use of hormones, pesticides or antibiotics, and the health of the animals is closely monitored. Strict government licensing, certification and inspection procedures ensure that the highest quality is achieved. Freeze-drying the organs preserves vitamins, cofactors and minerals. The supplements are produced in the US.
About Ancestral Supplements
The Texan company Ancestral Supplements stands for high-quality organ supplements. Brian Johnson, one of the founders, believes that as humans we are perfectly adapted to an environment that unfortunately no longer exists, and that the modern world therefore does not fit our current bodies. In his view, many of our health complaints arise from this mismatch. The solution lies in finding ways to recreate our ancestral way of life in our modern world. It is the ambitious mission of Ancestral Supplements 'to bring back into our diet and our overall way of life what the modern world has pushed aside, in order to make people strong, healthy and happy again.' To accomplish this mission, the company has put together supplements that make it easier for everyone to consume animal organs and glands.
