Grass-Fed Bovine Trachea with Liver by Ancestral Supplements

An essential component of the diets of Native Americans and other traditional peoples was animal organs. The organs of healthy animals were consumed because of the high concentration of nutrients they contain. Many native peoples believed it would support the vitality of their own organs if they eat organ meats. The cartilage of bovine trachea is rich in connective tissue, collagen type II and specific proteins, among other compounds. A capsule contains 250 mg of beef trachea cartilage which is fortified by 250 mg of beef liver for extra nutritional support.

Natural ingredients of bovine trachea:

  • Proteins exclusive to cartilage of bovine trachea
  • Molecular bio-regulators including immune regulators, connective tissue and collagen type II
  • Specific cartilage building blocks: glycosaminoglycans, chondroitin sulfate and proteoglycans
  • Vitamin A and B12, folate and choline from beef liver

Benefits:

  • Contains exclusively New Zealand pasture cattle
  • With proteins, molecular bio-regulators, immunoregulators, connective tissue and collagen type II
  • Contains cartilage-specific building blocks including glycosaminoglycans, chondroitin sulfate and proteoglycans
  • Rich in vitamins A, B vitamins, iron, choline and beef liver folate
  • Vitamin A, B12 and folate support the immune system
  • Choline supports the cleansing functions of the liver
  • Lyophilized (freeze-dried) raw to preserve vitamins, minerals and cofactors
  • Contains no pesticides, hormones or fillers; GMO-free

The power of bovine trachea with liver

Grass-fed Trachea with liver by Ancestral Supplements is a natural dietary supplement consisting of bovine trachea cartilage supplemented with bovine liver. The cartilage of various animals is an integral part of the diet of traditional peoples. It provides concentrated amounts of connective tissue, type II collagen, immunoregulators, molecular bio-directors and organ-specific proteins. In addition, it is rich in specific building materials, including glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans and chondroitin sulfate. Beef liver is a nice addition in this supplement, as it, too, is extremely rich in nutrients. Vitamin B12, vitamin A, iron, choline and folate are present in large concentrations in bovine liver and these nutrients, together with the connective tissue and collagen from bovine trachea, form a powerful combination. For example, vitamins A, B12 and folate (B11) are known to support the immune system while choline supports the liver’s cleansing functions.

How do organ supplements work?

Organ meats are an important source of specific proteins, micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals and essential fatty acids. When your body takes in these specific proteins, not all of them are broken down into amino acids: the building blocks that your body needs for different types of tissues in your body. A significant percentage of these proteins from organs and glands reach the bloodstream intact. The nutrients from animal organs not only support general health. Specific nutritional components in the organ meat also fit exactly with the cells in the same organ in our body that is susceptible to it, like puzzle pieces in a puzzle. It appears that organ meat nutrients are recognized by the body as organ-specific nutrients and that they are transported through the body to the corresponding organ in our body.

Eating head to tail

Animal organs have been eaten in all traditional civilizations, from Native Americans to ancient Chinese, for millennia. In fact, traditional peoples had the knowledge that eating healthy animal organs has a nurturing effect on the same organs in the human body. Today, we have largely forgotten the head-to-tail principle of eating, and some even shy away from consuming animal organs. Fortunately, there has recently been a revival of this ancestral way of life and of evolutionary diets: organ therapy is back. After all, it is part of an ethical, sustainable and healthy lifestyle to use animals in their entirety for consumption. Organ meats contain high concentrations of nutrients, including vitamins A, B12, D, E, K and folate, and are an excellent source of iron and protein. In addition, organs also contain nutrients that our corresponding human organs have a need for. Organ meat is therefore the ideal food for all who want to live healthily, sustainably and with due respect for animals and the environment.

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’ carefully formulated products are made from grass-fed New Zealand cattle and sheep. We work with great attention to the welfare of people, animals and environment alike and the quality of life of all animals is constantly monitored. The ingredients are freeze-dried in raw state to preserve as many vitamins, minerals and cofactors as possible. This way the quality of the meat can be guaranteed. With Ancestral Supplements’ products, consuming animal organs and taking advantage of the health benefits they offer become accessible to everyone!

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

The trachea (windpipe) is made up of cartilage rings and is therefore a natural source of type II collagen, chondroitin sulphate, glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, the building blocks of our own joint cartilage. Ancestral Beef Trachea contains 1,500 mg of freeze-dried trachea and 1,500 mg of liver per daily dose. Traditional cultures around the world ate animals from 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 'like supports like' principle 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 puts that nourishment into capsule form, for anyone who does not like the taste of organ meat, cannot get hold of it or does not 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 Trachea naturally contain?

Per 6 capsules: 1,500 mg of freeze-dried trachea with type II collagen, chondroitin sulphate, glycosaminoglycans (including hyaluronic acid) and proteoglycans, plus 1,500 mg of liver with vitamin A, B12, folate and copper. Levels are not standardised.

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. For the first few days start with 1 to 2 capsules 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 mix 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 unusual 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, tiredness or an unsettled stomach. This is usually temporary. If it happens, 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 lower the dose if it persists. If the complaints do not disappear within a few days of lowering the dose, stop and consult your doctor or therapist.

What is the difference from Living Collagen and Beef Bone Marrow?

Living Collagen (Beef Collagen) is 3,000 mg of pure cartilage (trachea and scapula) without liver, so double the cartilage dose. Beef Bone Marrow is whole bone extract (bone matrix, marrow and cartilage) and mainly provides fat-soluble nutrients and bone minerals. Beef Trachea sits in between: half cartilage, half liver. If you want maximum cartilage, choose Living Collagen; if you want cartilage plus the liver nutrients in one jar, choose Beef Trachea.

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 eliminated 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 do not 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, for example, 1 to 2 capsules per day (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 is better not to take all the hormone-containing glands (thyroid, adrenal, testicle) at full dose at the same time. A popular base is Beef Liver or Beef Organs plus Beef Bone Marrow; to that you add a specific organ for your goal.

Does this product contain allergens and how should 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). Beyond that 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 and dark place, such as a kitchen cupboard; it does not need to go in the fridge. Freeze-dried organ powder attracts moisture, so close the jar immediately 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.
