FAQ
Why should I take Beef Pancreas and what makes Ancestral Supplements different?

The pancreas produces the digestive enzymes amylase, lipase and protease and the hormones insulin and glucagon. Freeze-dried pancreas contains those enzymes and the pancreas-specific peptides and cofactors in their natural form. Ancestral Beef Pancreas contains 500 mg of freeze-dried pancreas per capsule (the recommended daily dose is 1 capsule), without liver. Traditional cultures around the world ate animals nose to tail and regarded the organs as the most nourishing part: liver, heart, kidney, spleen and glands contain more vitamins, minerals, peptides and cofactors per gram than muscle meat. The principle of 'like supports like' from those traditions holds that by eating an organ you take in the same building blocks that the corresponding organ in your own body uses. Ancestral Supplements delivers that nourishment in capsule form, for anyone who doesn't enjoy the taste of organ meat, can't get hold of it or doesn't want to prepare it every day. So it is not an isolated extract or a medicine, but freeze-dried food. Ancestral Supplements uses only organs from cattle (and, for the thymus, sheep) that graze outdoors all year round in New Zealand and Australia: grass-fed and grass-finished, with no added hormones, antibiotics, pesticides or GMOs. The organs are freeze-dried raw (not heated, not defatted), so the heat-sensitive vitamins, enzymes and fat-soluble nutrients are preserved. There are no fillers, flow agents, stearates or anti-caking agents; the only addition is the beef gelatine capsule. Every batch is tested by an independent laboratory and the company operates under GMP certification.

Which nutrients does Beef Pancreas naturally contain?

Per capsule (the daily dose) 500 mg of freeze-dried pancreas with naturally present enzymes (amylase, lipase, trypsin/chymotrypsin), pancreatic peptides, vitamin B12, zinc, selenium and chromium. The enzyme activity is not standardised as it would be in an enzyme preparation; it is food, not a medicine.

How do I take the capsules and how many per day?

The recommended dose is 1 capsule per day (500 mg), or as directed by your doctor or therapist, with or without food. At 1 per day, a jar of 180 capsules lasts 180 days, about six months. Because this is freeze-dried food, you can also open the capsules and stir the powder into a smoothie, yoghurt or (not too hot) food; expect a pronounced meaty taste.

Can I get a reaction when I start?

Most people notice nothing in particular when they start. Around 5 to 10 percent, especially people with a sensitive immune system or an autoimmune condition, experience mild complaints in the first week such as nausea, headache, fatigue or an unsettled stomach. This is usually temporary. If so, start with half a capsule per day (opened into food) and move to 1 capsule after a few days, take the capsule with food and a large glass of water, and reduce the dose if it persists. If the complaints don't disappear within a few days of reducing the dose, stop and consult your doctor or therapist.

What is the difference compared with Ancestral Digestive Enzymes?

Ancestral Digestive Enzymes is a targeted formula with 1.8 g of animal enzyme blend from several organs plus added plant enzymes (lactase, cellulase, phytase, protease) and Bacillus subtilis, intended to be taken with meals when digestion is noticeably weak. Beef Pancreas is the pure organ, taken daily as food, following the 'like supports like' principle. If your main problem is discomfort after meals, start with the Digestive Enzymes; if you want to support the pancreas as an organ, choose the pancreas.

What is the best way to take the pancreas?

Preferably take the capsule with a meal, so that the natural enzymes reach the stomach together with the food. With a sensitive stomach: start with half a capsule (opened into food). If you use diabetes medication or insulin, consult your doctor; the pancreas contains no active amount of insulin, but it is sensible to check.

Is this suitable for children, during pregnancy or alongside medication, and can I combine it?

Adults and children can use this product; after all, it is food. For children the dose is adjusted to body weight and stays below the adult dose of 1 capsule per day (open the capsule into food if you like). During pregnancy and breastfeeding there is no objection to organ meat as such; Beef Pancreas contains no liver and therefore no vitamin A load, but do consult your midwife. If you take medication or have an autoimmune condition, consult your doctor first. Combining is fine: Ancestral products are food and can be used alongside each other and alongside other supplements. Beef Pancreas does not count towards your vitamin A intake from liver; it's better not to take all the hormone-containing glands (thyroid, adrenal, testicle) at full dose at the same time. A commonly used base is Beef Liver or Beef Organs plus Beef Bone Marrow; on top of that you choose a specific organ for your goal.

Does this product contain allergens and how do I store it?

The product contains beef (and beef gelatine as the capsule) and is therefore not suitable for vegetarians, vegans or people with a beef allergy (alpha-gal). Otherwise it contains no gluten, dairy, soy, nuts, egg, fish, shellfish, sugar, colourings, preservatives or fillers. New Zealand and Australia are officially free of BSE (mad cow disease). Store the jar closed in a cool, dry, dark place, such as a kitchen cupboard; the fridge is not necessary. Freeze-dried organ powder attracts moisture, so close the jar straight after use and leave the silica gel sachet inside. Unopened and sealed, the product keeps until the date on the label; once opened, preferably use it up within 3 months.
