Cartilage in traditional cooking
In traditional cuisines, cartilage was rarely thrown away. It went into the soup pot together with bones and tendons and was simmered for hours into broth. In Japan, grilled cartilage, nankotsu, is still a standard snack in yakitori bars.
From the pasture in New Zealand
The trachea and the liver come from cattle that graze outdoors their whole lives, mainly in New Zealand and partly in Australia. They are given no added hormones or antibiotics. Both are raw freeze-dried and not defatted. Each capsule contains 250 mg trachea and 250 mg liver. The capsules are filled in the United States.
Facts about the trachea
The trachea of a cow consists of a series of C-shaped cartilage rings that keep the tube open while the animal breathes and grazes. Cartilage itself contains no blood vessels; it gets its nourishment from the surrounding tissue.
Grass-fed Beef Trachea by Ancestral Supplements
Animal organs were an essential part of the diet of the original inhabitants of America and of other traditional peoples. The organs of healthy animals were eaten because of the high concentration of nutrients they contain. These peoples also believed that eating organ meat would support the vitality of their own organs. Beef trachea cartilage is rich in connective tissue, type II collagen and specific proteins, among other things. One capsule contains 250 mg of cartilage from beef trachea and is supplemented with 250 mg of beef liver for extra rich nutritional support.
The power of Beef Trachea with Liver
Grassfed Trachea by Ancestral Supplements is a natural food supplement made of beef trachea cartilage and supplemented with beef liver. The cartilage of various animals is a regular part of the diet of traditional peoples. It provides concentrated amounts of connective tissue, type II collagen, immunoregulators, molecular bio-directors and specific proteins. It is also rich in specific building materials, including glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans and chondroitin sulphate. Beef liver is a fine addition to this supplement, as it is extremely rich in nutrients. Vitamin B12, vitamin A, iron, choline and folate are present in high concentrations in beef liver, and together with the connective tissue and collagen from beef trachea these nutrients form a powerful combination. Vitamins A, B12 and folate (B9), for example, are known to support the immune system. Choline also supports the cleansing function of the liver, and folate helps the cell division process.
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!

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
Ancestral Supplements products are made from grass-fed cattle from New Zealand and Australia. With an eye for the welfare of people, animals and the environment, the animals are well cared for, constantly monitored and kept in a living environment that is optimal for them. This ensures that the final meat is also of the highest quality. Because the ingredients are processed raw and freeze-dried, the nutrients found in animal organs, such as vitamins, minerals and cofactors, are optimally preserved. The supplements are formulated with the utmost care and contain no pesticides, hormones or fillers.
About Ancestral Supplements
The young Texas company Ancestral Supplements believes in evolutionary health science, a view that takes biology as the starting point for achieving the best possible health. In practice, it comes down to following the living and eating habits of our ancestors. An important aspect of our ancestral diet was eating animal organ meat. Not only because it is ethical and sustainable to use animals in their entirety for consumption, but also because of the many benefits attributed to eating animal organs. More and more researchers now support the idea of consuming animal organs to support health. With its product line, Ancestral Supplements makes it accessible for everyone to consume animal organs in the form of convenient capsules.
