Sweetbread on the menu
In classic French and Dutch cuisine, the pancreas of the calf is known as sweetbread, together with the thymus. Sweetbread was long considered a delicacy and was on the menu of fine restaurants, fried in butter or made into a ragout. In Argentina and Uruguay, too, sweetbread, molleja, goes on the grill at the traditional asado.
From the pasture in New Zealand
The pancreas comes from cattle that graze outdoors their whole lives, mainly in New Zealand and partly in Australia. They are given no added hormones or antibiotics. The pancreas is raw freeze-dried and not defatted, so that the enzymes are not lost through heating. The capsules are filled in the United States.
Facts about the pancreas
The word pancreas comes from Greek: pan means all and kreas meat. The Dutch name for the pancreas, alvleesklier, refers to the pancreatic juice it produces, the digestive juice that reaches the small intestine via the pancreatic duct.
Grass-fed Beef Pancreas by Ancestral Supplements
The original inhabitants of America and other traditional peoples have believed for centuries that eating the organs of a healthy animal has a supporting effect on the corresponding organ of the person eating them. After all, animal organs contain high concentrations of essential nutrients. Pancreas extracts, for example, are particularly rich in protease, or proteolytic enzymes. In the body, these have a function in breaking down proteins, fats and carbohydrates. This natural product from Ancestral Supplements offers a range of essential nutrients, enzymes and cofactors in the same high concentration as they occur in beef pancreas.
The power of Beef Pancreas
Grassfed Beef Pancreas by Ancestral Supplements is a natural food supplement containing 100% pure beef pancreas. Beef pancreas has high concentrations of peptides that occur exclusively in this organ. The pancreas of a cow is also rich in other essential nutrients, cofactors and enzymes. Pancreas extracts also contain a rich amount of protease or proteolytic enzymes, which are important in breaking down fats, proteins and carbohydrates in our body. They also contain trypsin and colipase, which play a role in the activation of proteolytic enzymes. The enzymes from pancreas extract fit into a diet that is in harmony with nature and consists of healthy, high-quality food that is rich in nutrients.

How do organ supplements work?
Animal organs contain a range of high-quality vitamins, minerals, peptides and nucleoproteins that do not occur in such quantities in other animal or plant sources. When taken, this broad range of bioactive substances not only affects the whole body system, these micronutrients also target the corresponding cells of the organs in our bodies specifically. It appears that the nutrients in organ meat are recognised by the body as organ-specific nutrients and can be transported by the body to the corresponding organ in our body. Organ supplements are therefore an important source of unique, high-quality and essential nutrients for our body and for our organs in particular.
Eating head to tail
The head-to-tail principle is an ethical and sustainable way of processing meat in which all parts of an animal are used for consumption. Traditionally it was entirely normal to use an animal completely once it had been slaughtered, but in our modern society we usually limit ourselves to the parts of an animal that are easy and quick to process. A shame, because eating organs and glands is actually very valuable! Wisdom that traditional healers from ancient cultures already knew how to use. It sounds quite logical: after all, every animal organ is a specific source of nutrients, enzymes and bioactive substances that are not only good for the whole body, but also seem to suit the nutritional needs of the corresponding organ in the human body. For targeted support, you can choose to add these specific nutrients to your diet by supplementing with glands and organs. People who eat according to the principles of evolutionary eating believe that our body knows how to use the nutrients from healthy animal organs well and specifically. A clever piece of work by Mother Nature!
Natural ingredients of Beef Pancreas
Peptides found exclusively in pancreatic tissue. Trypsin and colipase, which play a role in the activation of proteolytic enzymes. Pancreatic enzymes whose function is to break down proteins, fats (lipase) and carbohydrates (amylase).
According to the principles of Weston Price
The American dentist Weston Price (1870-1948) studied the eating 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 in particular was popular. Organs were a staple of the daily diet of our early ancestors, and for good reason: fat-soluble vitamins and a large share of the essential minerals were obtained through the organs of animals.
Organ meat of the highest quality
New Zealand and Australia seem made for raising healthy cattle. The countries are unique, the climate is mild 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.
About Ancestral Supplements
The Texas 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 sadly no longer exists, and that the modern world therefore does not match our present-day 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 created supplements that make it easier for everyone to consume animal organs and glands.
