Marrow as a food store
In Qesem Cave in Israel, archaeologists found bones some 400,000 years old that had been stored with the skin still on, so that the marrow could still be eaten weeks later. It is one of the oldest indications that people stored food. Marrow remained a delicacy for centuries: in eighteenth-century England there were even special marrow spoons for it.
From the pastures of New Zealand
Ancestral uses the whole bone of grass-fed cattle and sheep, mainly from New Zealand and partly from Australia: bone matrix, bone marrow and cartilage together. The animals are given no added hormones or antibiotics. Everything is freeze-dried raw and not defatted. The capsules are filled in the United States.
Facts about bone marrow
Osso buco, the Italian classic of braised veal shank, literally means bone with a hole. The marrow in that hole is considered the tastiest part of the dish. Bone marrow consists mostly of fat, which means the fat-soluble vitamins are well preserved in it.
Grass-fed Beef Bone Marrow by Ancestral Supplements
For many indigenous cultures and traditional peoples, bone marrow was an important part of their diet. Many animal skeletal remains found where these peoples lived made it clear that the bones had been broken open to extract as much bone marrow as possible. Because of its high nutritional quality, it served as an important food source at the time. Bone marrow contains, among other things, fats, the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, K and E, growth factors, specialised cells and a high concentration of collagen.
The power of Beef Bone Marrow
In many ancient Native American cultures, bone marrow was regarded as sacred food. It was added as a special part of the diet of growing children and even served as a substitute for breast milk when that was not available. Grassfed Bone Marrow by Ancestral Supplements is a natural food supplement that provides extracts of bone matrix, bone marrow and cartilage from cattle and sheep in the same physiological amounts as they occur in nature. Beef bone marrow is rich in fats (including alkylglycerols), glucosaminoglycans and collagen, in growth factors, specialised cells such as stem cells and basic cells, and in vitamin A, which supports the immune system and the condition of the eye, vitamin D, which is good for the muscles and skeleton, vitamin K, to support bones and blood clotting, and vitamin E, which helps protect healthy body cells. The recommended dosage is 6 capsules per day, and the product can be taken with or without other food.
How do organ supplements work?
Proteins play an important role in the formation of new cells. Your body needs essential proteins in order to transform them through protein synthesis into nucleoproteins, antibodies, enzymes and tissue cells. Organ meat contains a range of essential proteins, but also fatty acids, bioactive components and micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals. These nutrients are not found in such concentrations in other animal or plant protein sources. Animal organs also contain tissue-specific nutrients that can be transported directly by our body to the corresponding organs in our body. The organ-specific nutrients are like puzzle pieces that fit exactly into the nutritional needs of the same organs in the human body. Through organ meat, we can obtain essential nutrients that are good for our whole body and that also contain components that specifically target the organ in our body to which the supplement corresponds.

Eating head to tail
For centuries, animal organs have been eaten in traditional civilisations, such as Native American or ancient Chinese culture. Traditional healers believed that eating healthy animal organs has a nourishing effect on those same organs in the human body. Today, we have largely forgotten how to eat according to the head-to-tail principle, and some people are even put off by the idea of eating animal organs. Fortunately, there has recently been a revival of this ancestral way of life and of evolutionary eating: organ therapy is back. After all, using animals in their entirety for consumption fits an ethical, sustainable and healthy lifestyle. Organ meat even contains high concentrations of nutrients, such as vitamins A, B12, D, E, K and folate, and it is an excellent source of iron and protein. In addition, organs also contain nutrients that our corresponding human organs can use. Organ meat therefore fits the diet of anyone who wants to live healthily, sustainably and with respect for animals and the environment.
Natural ingredients of Beef Bone Marrow
Nutrients from cartilage, bone matrix and bone marrow, such as glucosaminoglycans. Fat-soluble vitamins A, D, K and E. Specialised cells such as stem cells and basic cells. Naturally occurring fats (including alkylglycerols or AKGs). Rich in collagen.
According to the principles of Weston Price
The American dentist Weston Price (1870-1948) studied the dietary habits of traditional peoples all over the world. He discovered that the original inhabitants of Canada attached great value to eating meat from animal organs; bone marrow was especially prized. 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 from the organs of animals.
Organ meat of the highest quality
The supplements from Ancestral Supplements are made from grass-fed cattle and sheep from New Zealand and Australia, whose health is a top priority for the company. The ingredients of Ancestral Supplements' high-quality supplements are freeze-dried, not heated (raw), and put together without the use of hormones, pesticides or antibiotics. The animals' quality of life is constantly and closely monitored. The animals receive good care and have a good living environment. Because the work is done with care for people, animals and the environment, the meat used for the supplements is ultimately of the highest possible quality.
About Ancestral Supplements
Ancestral Supplements is a Texas-based company that produces high-quality organ supplements. The company's mission grew out of the personal drive of Brian Johnson, one of the founders, who would do anything to ensure that his sons, both in poor health, could finally be fit and vital. After years of doctor's visits and tests, they took matters into their own hands and the whole family began eating organic, pasture-fed and wild-caught animal meat according to the head-to-tail principle. Their entire way of life changed drastically and is based on the way our ancestors lived and dealt with the world around them. It is the great success of this way of life that prompted Johnson to found Ancestral Supplements. To make eating animal organs and glands more accessible to everyone, the company has carefully put together products that contain these animal organs full of essential nutrients.
