Ris de veau and ris d'agneau
In French cuisine, the thymus of calf and lamb is a classic: ris de veau and ris d'agneau, sweetbread in English. For centuries the gland was eaten without anyone knowing what it was for. Only in 1961 did the Australian researcher Jacques Miller discover what role the thymus plays in the body.
From the pastures of New Zealand
The thymus comes from sheep and cattle that graze outdoors all their lives, mainly in New Zealand and partly in Australia. The liver comes from cattle from the same pastures. They are given no added hormones or antibiotics. Both are freeze-dried raw and not defatted. Each capsule contains 250 mg thymus and 250 mg liver. The capsules are filled in the United States.
Facts about the thymus
The thymus is largest in young animals and shrinks after sexual maturity. That is why sweetbread almost always comes from calves and lambs. The name comes from the Greek thymos, which means something like life force or spirit.
Grass-fed Sheep Thymus by Ancestral Supplements
For centuries, many traditional peoples have been familiar with eating animal organs and glands to improve the health of those same organs and glands in their own bodies. The thymus (or sweetbread) is partly responsible for many functions within the immune system. Grass-fed Sheep Thymus with Liver by Ancestral Supplements contains specific proteins and hormones and unique peptides, such as thymosin. One capsule contains 250 mg grass-fed sheep and/or beef thymus (ovine/bovine) and is supplemented with 250 mg grass-fed beef liver, one of the richest natural sources of essential nutrients, including vitamin A, B12 and folate.
The power of Sheep Thymus with Liver
The thymus is a gland in a prominent place in the chest, right in the middle of the chest, behind the breastbone. The term 'thymus' comes from the Greek word 'thymos', meaning 'heart, soul, desire'. The function of the thymus is to control a proper immune response. Grassfed Thymus with Liver by Ancestral Supplements is a natural food supplement consisting of pure sheep and/or beef thymus (ovine/bovine), supplemented with beef liver. The supplement provides thymus-specific hormones and proteins and unique peptides, such as thymosin. The thymus is also rich in the hormone thymopoietin and in FTS (Serum Thymic Factor), an important peptide hormone in the thymus. The mix is supplemented with pure beef liver, a rich source of the essential nutrients vitamin A and B12, iron and folate, which support the immune system. Beef liver is also a source of choline, which is good for the liver.
Benefits
Contains exclusively grass-fed sheep and cattle from New Zealand and Australia. Freeze-dried raw to preserve vitamins, minerals and cofactors. Provides the peptide thymosin, the hormones thymopoietin and FTS (Serum Thymic Factor) and specific proteins. The addition of beef liver makes the supplement a rich source of vitamin A, B12, iron, folate and choline. Folate, iron, vitamin A and B12 support the immune system. Choline is good for the liver. Purely formulated without fillers and with high-quality ingredients. Contains no pesticides or hormones and is GMO-free.
How do organ supplements work?
Your body needs essential proteins in order to transform them through protein synthesis into nucleoproteins, antibodies, enzymes and tissue cells. Organ meat is an important source of essential proteins, but also of micronutrients, fatty acids, enzymes and cofactors that nourish and support our entire body. Finally, organ meat contains organ-specific nutrients that travel in our body to the target organ: the corresponding organ in the human body. The body appears to recognise the nutritional components in an animal organ and to be able to transport them to the same organ in the human body that needs this specific composition of nutrients. Mother Nature has thus arranged things so that these substances end up exactly where your body needs them. By taking organ supplements, you can provide your body and your organs with essential micronutrients and bioactive substances.
Eating head to tail
For centuries, animal organs have been eaten in traditional civilisations, such as Native American or ancient Chinese culture. Traditional healers believed that eating healthy animal organs has a nourishing effect on those same organs in the human body. Today, we have largely forgotten how to eat according to the head-to-tail principle, and some people are even put off by the idea of eating animal organs. Fortunately, there has recently been a revival of this ancestral way of life and of evolutionary eating: organ therapy is back. After all, using animals in their entirety for consumption fits an ethical, sustainable and healthy lifestyle. Organ meat even contains high concentrations of nutrients, such as vitamins A, B12, D, E, K and folate, and it is an excellent source of iron and protein. In addition, organs also contain nutrients that our corresponding human organs can use. Organ meat therefore fits the diet of anyone who wants to live healthily, sustainably and with respect for animals and the environment.
Natural ingredients of Sheep Thymus with Liver
Thymosin, thymopoietin and FTS (Serum Thymic Factor). Proteins found exclusively in thymus tissue. Unique peptides and hormones found in thymus tissue. Beef liver is a source of vitamin A and B12, iron, folate and choline.
According to the principles of Weston Price
The American dentist Weston Price (1870-1948) studied the dietary 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 was especially prized. Organs were a staple of the daily diet of our early ancestors, and for good reason: the intake of fat-soluble vitamins and a large share of the essential minerals came from the organs of animals.
Organ meat of the highest quality
New Zealand and Australia seem made for raising healthy livestock. The climate is mild and pasture grass grows fresh and green all year round. This means that the animals can eat the food that is healthiest for them every day of the year. The cattle and sheep used for Ancestral Supplements products come from New Zealand and Australia and are strictly grass-fed; the supplements are produced in the USA. They are raised without the use of hormones, pesticides or antibiotics, and the health of the animals is closely monitored. Strict government licences, certification and control procedures ensure that the highest quality is achieved. Freeze-drying the organs preserves vitamins, cofactors and minerals.
About Ancestral Supplements
The Texan company Ancestral Supplements stands for high-quality organ supplements. Brian Johnson, one of the founders, believes that as human beings we are perfectly attuned to an environment that unfortunately no longer exists, and that the modern world therefore does not match our current bodies. According to him, many of our health complaints arise from this discrepancy. 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 put aside, in order to make people strong, healthy and happy again.' To accomplish this mission, the company has put together supplements that make it easier for everyone to take animal organs and glands.
