The food the predators left behind
Bones of large grazers left behind by lions or wolves still contained something the predators could not reach: the marrow. At sites more than two million years old, archaeologists find bones that were broken open with stone tools. Bone marrow may therefore have been one of the first food sources that humans reached with tools.
What is in bone marrow
Bone marrow consists mainly of fat and contains no carbohydrates. It also contains phosphatidylcholine, alkylglycerols, collagen and the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, among other things. Together with the bone, it also provides glucosamine, chondroitin and minerals.
From marrow bone to capsule
In the kitchen, you come across bone marrow in the marrow bone in soup, or roasted on bread. These capsules contain bone and marrow from grass-fed cattle, freeze-dried raw, with 430 mg per capsule and 70 mg Paleo Elements Complex.
Discover the power of grass-fed bone marrow
Deep inside the bones lies a hidden treasure of nutrients: bone marrow. Did you know that bone marrow, together with brains, was probably one of the first food sources for our earliest ancestors? The human predatory pattern began with eating the nutritious contents left in bones, using primitive tools. Hunting techniques were only developed later! Throughout the centuries, various cultures have enjoyed the rich taste and nutritional value of bone marrow, often prepared in many different ways.

Natural fats present, including alkylglycerols (AKGs).
Bone marrow through history
Archaeological finds show that prehistoric people treated bones with marrow as a valuable food supply. These bones were sometimes kept for months before the nutritious marrow was eaten. Now, with the revival of nose-to-tail eating within the paleo diet, the popularity of bones and bone marrow is growing again. Whether it is used in bone broth, grilled or even eaten raw, the combination of nutrition and flavour makes it a favourite among health-conscious consumers.
What is bone marrow?
Bone marrow is a unique tissue located inside the bones. It consists mainly of fats and contains no carbohydrates or sugars. In addition to the macronutrients, bone marrow contains a wealth of other valuable substances, such as phosphatidylcholine, CLA, alkylglycerols, immunoproteins, collagen, glucosamine, chondroitin, peptides, growth factors and even stem cells. Like other organ meat products, bone marrow is considerably richer in nutrients than standard muscle meat.
Essential nutrients for the brain
It has been suggested that bone marrow, together with omega-3-rich seafood and the use of fire for cooking, played a crucial role in the development of the human brain. These factors contributed to making humans the most intelligent species on earth.
Fatty acid composition of bone marrow
The exact composition of fatty acids in bone marrow remains partly unknown, but the fact that it is solid at room temperature suggests that it contains mainly saturated fatty acids. This makes bone marrow an excellent source of healthy animal fats. It is striking that few comprehensive nutritional profiles of bone marrow exist, especially given its importance as one of the first food sources of our ancestors.
Don't forget the nutritional power of bones
Bones are a favourite among paleo followers and are valued for their high nutritional value. They are made up of connective tissue, reinforced with calcium and specialised cells, which makes them not only strong but also nutritious. Although bones are usually cooked, we offer a freeze-dried powder that is rich in bone-specific nutrients such as trace elements, minerals, peptides and growth factors.

Our natural ingredients retain their original proportions as they occur in nature, which ensures a balanced complex of nutrients. With our bone and bone marrow capsules you not only have an age-old synergy, but also an easy way to include it in your daily routine.
Rich source of collagen
Bones and bone marrow are excellent sources of collagen, offering a wide range of collagen types and supporting nutrients. Our special Paleo Elements Complex also contains silica, a mineral that is essential for the formation of collagen, together with supporting substances such as glucosamine and chondroitin.
Paleo Elements Complex, a complete nutritional package
Our exclusive Paleo Elements Complex is present in all our supplements and subtly increases the nutritional value of the main ingredients. In prehistoric times, earth and blood were unknowingly consumed during hunting and eating, and we have chosen to include these essential elements to enhance the nutritional value of our products.
