How many beef organ capsules should I take a day?
I've had a few people asking this question. Our freeze dried organs are made from 100% beef, right down to the gelatine capsule. There's nothing added and these can be safely taken daily. The Traditional Use of Organ Meat for Health and Healing For most of human history we used animals for food and nutrition and instinctively used the organ meat for health and healing. Traditional people focused on like for like, so for kidney health, kidneys were consumed, heart health, hearts were given. Why Liver Is Considered the Ultimate Superfood Liver is the ultimate super food, dense with our daily requirements of B12, choline, Vitamin A and C. These nutrients are essential for our health and detoxification. Enabling the body's processes to work optimally. Boost: Freeze-Dried Liver for Daily Nutritional Support We recommend that you consume around 100gm of raw liver a week, to support your health. 6 capsules of Boost a day will give you the equivalent of this a week. this is not a huge amount but cumulatively you will be providing your body with some awesome ongoing nutritional support. This also goes for our Thrive, organ mix. 6 capsules a day will give you great metabolic support. Ignition: Beef Brain, Cholesterol and DHA for Brain Function Ignition, our beef brain, has some nuance, organ meat is high in so many necessary vitamins, minerals and trace elements, but brain contains a higher fat content. Its high in cholesterol, which is great for brain function. But also new studies have shown that cholesterol is responsible for maintaining cell health in older adults. DHA, an omega 3 fatty acid, is high in brain tissue as well. We recommend you take 1500mg daily of Ignition. 3 capsules Restore: Type 2 Collagen for Joint and Ligament Support Restore is packed with Type 2 collagen. I have always loved chewing on bones, beef, lamb and pork. Being active, my body needs the restorative care I get from this type 2 collagen. It goes directly to my ligaments and joints. For me, adding more type 2 collagen into my diet has completely removed any joint pain I had simmering. We recommend that 1500mg of Restore daily will help your body maintain healthy tissue, from ligaments and joints to the fascia that gently supports inter-muscular tissue. Boost Powder: A Convenient Alternative to Capsules We are aware that not everyone wants to drop a lot of capsules a day so Boost powder provides a great alternative. Powder. This has a range of uses, you can sprinkle it in smoothies, stews, and over eggs your favourite way. If you'd like to learn more check out our guide to beef organ supplements

Why Does Mainstream Health Advice Often Ignore Meat
Interestingly, I've spent the last few hours searching google, for articles that the average person would want to read about health and diet. I'm not surprised about my findings; so many articles about healthy food, fresh vegetables, grains, and not much about meat and its abilities to maintain a healthy immune system, and metabolic health. Thankfully I have podcasts loaded up on Spotify, for my daily run/walks to fill my mind with the latest research from the people I really rate in this field.

How To Stay Calm And Support Your Immune System In Today's Chaos
I'm not sure whether chaos is the right word for my title, I'm feeling that I'm now in the calm of the storm, while it rages around me, I'm practicing down regulation of my nervous system with exercise, Yoga, new breath techniques and of course eating ancestral diet. Checking In With Your Nervous System I encourage all of you to take a look inside yourselves and notice how busy, stressed or calm you are, and if calm is a state of mind/body how do you stay there?? and how can you share this with others.

The Benefits of Eating Organ Meats
The standard diet, does not contain any organ meats. In fact, organ meats are demonized for having fat and cholesterol. This is truly a shame, because organ meats from grassfed animals are one of the most nutrient-dense foods available, being packed with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients. Our ancestors knew the value of organ meats. They gave great value to liver, heart, and kidney, and used these foods to support the health of their own organs. We can do the same.
