Grass-fed Bovine Spleen by Ancestral Supplements

For centuries, Native Americans and other traditional peoples have consumed organs from healthy animals to support the functioning and vitality of their own respective organs. Grass-fed bovine spleen from Ancestral Supplements contains unique peptides, including splenopentine and tuftsine, which are found only in spleen tissue. One capsule contains 500 milligrams of grass-fed beef spleen. Consuming healthy bovine organs is in line with the ancient tradition of eating animals head to tail and is part of a healthy nature-based diet.

The power of bovine spleen

Consuming natural, nutrient-rich animal organs is living in harmony with nature and in accordance with the way our ancestors. Grass-fed Beef Spleen by Ancestral Supplements is a dietary supplement consisting of pure beef spleen. The supplement provides proteins exclusively found in bovine spleens and contains peptides found only in spleen tissue, including tuftsin and splenopentin. In addition, just like bone marrow, beef spleen contains high concentrations of alkylglycerols (AKGs) and the organ contains up to 5 times more heme iron than beef liver: 28 grams (1 ounce) of beef spleen contains 12.5 milligrams of heme iron, while the same amount of beef liver contains only 2.5 milligrams of heme iron. The spleen in the human body is part of the immune system and provides solid defense against bacteria. Heme iron, as found in beef spleen, has a positive effect on the immune system.

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.

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

The spleen is the organ that breaks down old red blood cells and recycles iron, which makes it the most concentrated natural source of haem iron: spleen contains five times as much iron as liver. Spleen also contains immune peptides such as tuftsin and splenopentin. Ancestral Beef Spleen contains 3,000 mg of freeze-dried spleen per daily dose, 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 Spleen naturally contain?

Per 6 capsules 3,000 mg of freeze-dried spleen, naturally rich in haem iron (roughly 10 to 15 mg per daily dose, highly absorbable), vitamin B12, vitamin C, zinc, selenium and the peptides tuftsin and splenopentin. Spleen contains no significant amount of vitamin A. Exact levels vary per batch.

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 an iron tablet and with Beef Blood?

Iron tablets (iron fumarate, iron sulphate) contain non-haem iron, which is only moderately absorbed and often causes constipation or nausea. Spleen provides haem iron as found in meat, which is absorbed 2 to 3 times better and rarely causes stomach complaints. Beef Blood combines 1,000 mg of blood, 1,000 mg of liver and 1,000 mg of spleen and so provides haem iron plus the vitamin B12, folate and vitamin A from liver; Beef Spleen is the pure, liver-free and most iron-rich choice.

Who is Beef Spleen mainly suitable for?

For people who want to raise their iron intake naturally without iron tablets: women with heavy periods, athletes, pregnant women (in consultation with their midwife), people who eat little red meat and people who react badly to iron tablets. If your iron status (ferritin) is normal or high, or you have haemochromatosis, do not use spleen. If in doubt, have your iron status checked.

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.
