The power of bovine heart with liver

Nutrient-rich organs and glands fit very well into the diet of anyone targeted looking for nutritional support that is in harmony with nature. Ancestral Supplements’ grass-fed Bovine Heart with Liver contains natural, dried extracts from bovine heart supplemented with beef liver. Beef Heart is one of the richest natural sources of CoQ10 and contains essential nutrients like vitamin B12, collagen, elastin and beef-heart-specific proteins, peptides, cofactors and enzymes. Vitamin B12 contributes to the formation of red blood cells and activates the natural energy in your body. This supplement is supplemented with beef liver, which is a rich source of essential nutrients like no other food, including vitamins A, B vitamins, iron, CoQ10, choline copper, zinc and chromium. Vitamin A contributes to energy metabolism, as do iron and vitamin B12; choline supports the liver’s cleansing functions.

How do organ supplements work?

Your body requires essential amino acids to transform them through protein synthesis into nucleoproteins, antibodies, enzymes and tissue cells. Organ meats are an important source of essential amino acids, as well as other micronutrients, fatty acids, enzymes and cofactors that nourish and support our entire body. Organs also contain organ-specific nutrients that travel to the target organ in our body: the corresponding organ in the human body. The body seems to recognize the nutritional components in an animal organ and then transport them to the same organ in the human body thriving on this specific nutrient composition. Mother Nature has arranged it so that these substances end up exactly where your body needs them. By taking organ supplements, you ensure that your body and your organs can be supplied with essential micronutrients and bioactive substances.

Eating head to tail

While it may be a bit daunting for many people to eat organ meats, such meats were the highest rated in traditional cultures. For many hunter-gatherers, eating animal organs was a sacred thing! For example, they believed that eating a healthy animal heart is good for a strong heart and that consuming an animal liver provides nutrition and strength to their own liver. It seems that this ancient wisdom was not pulled out of thin air, moreover that evolutionary diets were based on valuable ideas. Organ therapy using supplements as well as eating according to the head-to-tail principle have become increasingly popular. Animal organs are extremely rich in nutrients that are important for our body, including B vitamins, proteins and minerals. It is possible to prepare fresh meals with organ meats, but Ancestral Supplements products make it even easier to take advantage of the health benefits of organ consumption. With these handy supplements you can effortlessly add the essential nutrients from organs to your diet -- every day.

According to the principles of Weston Price

Canadian dentist Weston Price (1870-1948) studied the dietary habits in traditional cultures around the world. He discovered that the original inhabitants of Canada attached great importance to consuming meat from animal organs; especially bone marrow was loved. Organs were a staple in the daily diet of our early ancestors, and for good reason: intake of fat-soluble vitamins and many of the essential minerals was accomplished through eating animal organs.

Organ meat of the highest quality

Ancestral Supplements' products are made from New Zealand grass-fed cattle whose health is of paramount importance to the company. The ingredients of Ancestral Supplements’ high-quality supplements are freeze-dried, not heated (in other words, raw) and they are formulated without using hormones, pesticides or antibiotics. The animals' quality of life is constantly and closely monitored. The animals receive optimal care and a pleasant living environment. Because we work with equally high attention to the welfare of people, animals and environment, the meat used for our supplements is 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 was born out of the personal drive of one of its founders, Brian Johnson, who was committed to ensuring that his sons, both in poor health, became fit and vital again. After years of doctor visits and examinations, they took matters into their own hands and the whole family began eating organic, grass-fed and wild-caught animal meat according to the head-to-tail principle. Their entire way of life changed drastically, based on the way our ancestors lived and interacted with the world around them. It is the great success of this lifestyle that prompted Johnson to establish Ancestral Supplements. To make animal organs and glands more accessible to everyone, the company has carefully put together products that contain these animal organs full of essential nutrients.

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

The heart is a muscle that never stops, and is therefore naturally rich in coenzyme Q10, taurine, B vitamins, elastin and collagen. Ancestral Beef Heart contains 3,000 mg of freeze-dried heart plus 300 mg of liver per daily dose. 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 Heart naturally contain?

Beef heart is the richest natural source of coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) and also contains taurine, vitamin B12, B2, B3, B6, haem iron, zinc, selenium, elastin, collagen and the amino acid carnitine. The 300 mg of liver adds vitamin A, folate and copper. Exact levels vary per batch; Ancestral deliberately does not standardise.

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

The standard dose is 6 capsules per day (3,000 mg), taken all at once or spread over the day, with or without food. Start with 1 to 2 capsules for the first few days and build up by one capsule every few days until you reach 6, so your body can adjust. At 6 per day, a jar of 180 capsules lasts 30 days. 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, build up more slowly (1 capsule per day, adding one every 3 days), take the capsules 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 a CoQ10 supplement?

A CoQ10 capsule contains one isolated substance at a fixed dose (often 100 to 200 mg). Beef Heart contains CoQ10 in the amount in which it naturally occurs in heart tissue (a few milligrams per dose) together with taurine, carnitine, B vitamins and elastin, the complete 'heart matrix'. Anyone who wants a therapeutic dose of CoQ10 combines the heart with a separate CoQ10 or ubiquinol supplement; anyone looking for the food-based approach chooses the heart.

Is beef liver actually safe, and what about vitamin A?

Yes, liver from healthy animals is safe. A common misconception is that the liver 'stores' toxins; in fact the liver filters and processes them so they can be excreted via bile and urine, and what it mainly stores is vitamins (A, B12, folate, copper, iron) and glycogen. Liver from healthy, grass-fed animals from New Zealand, where no growth hormones and hardly any antibiotics are used, is one of the most nutritious foods there is. Liver does, however, contain a lot of natural vitamin A (retinol): 3,000 mg of freeze-dried liver provides roughly 1,500 to 3,500 µg, which is around or slightly above the daily reference intake. So don't combine it with other high-dose vitamin A supplements or several liver-containing products at full dose at the same time, and if you are pregnant, discuss your total vitamin A intake with your midwife.

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

Adults and children can use these products; after all, it is food. For children the dose is adjusted to body weight: a child of 20 to 30 kg takes 1 to 2 capsules per day, for example (open them into food if you like). During pregnancy and breastfeeding there is no objection to organ meat as such, but keep an eye on your total vitamin A intake from liver and consult your midwife. If you take medication or have an autoimmune condition, consult your doctor first. Yes. Ancestral products are food and can be used alongside each other and alongside other supplements. Two things to bear in mind: many products contain liver, so add up the total amount of liver and keep an eye on your vitamin A intake (see the question about liver); and 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.
