APE Nutrition - Whole Bone Matrix 60caps
£34.99
Made with grass-fed and finished bovine bones from a regenerative farm, this product may provide support for optimal bone mineral composition and overall bone strength. Our complex contains all the natural elements of healthy bone including the essential minerals calcium and phosphorous (in their ideal ratio of 2:1), growth factors, type I collagen, glycosaminoglycans and a broad range of other trace elements.
*We’ve updated this product so there’s more bone matrix per capsule, meaning the serving size is now only 1-2 per day. The overall product weight remains the same and therefore you're still getting 90 grams of powder total, it's just a different serving size for ease. Whether you require 1 or 2 capsules depends on your calcium / dairy consumption (please see diagram in image gallery for detailed dosage guidelines).
Whole Bone Matrix
Eating whole animals, nose-to-tail, was a way of life for humans for the majority of our existence up until recent history. They believed that consuming a specific part of a healthy animal would strengthen and enhance the health of that part of their own body. For example, if someone had broken a bone or was experiencing issues with their connective tissue such as tendons, ligaments or cartilage, they would eat bone broths and be encouraged to consume the connective tissue and marrow. This specific bone matrix has validated their intuition in animal models, with clinical trials showing improvements in bone mineral density following six months consumption. This is because when the bones and connective tissue of a healthy animal are consumed, the unique growth factors and minerals like calcium and phosphorus within them, which are key for bone strength, travel to the bones of the consumer. In term, this boosts bone and connection tissue health.
Indigenous people also appreciated that animals gave their lives to ensure us as humans could survive and thrive so they left nothing go to waste. And because of their deep connection with the earth and their own bodies they intuitively knew just how beneficial consuming certain parts of the animal, such as bones and organ meat was for their own health. Fast forward to today and the immense powers of these more unique parts of the animal have somewhat been forgotten. What was once highly sought after is now rarely consumed and generally people no longer enjoy the taste. We created our nose-to-tail line to help people reintroduce these ancestral superfoods, loaded with nutrients in an easy to consume and flavourless way.
How to use
Just one of our Whole Bone Matrix capsules contain roughly 50% of the daily requirement for Calcium and Phosphorous. To get enough of these two key minerals for bone health through diet, the general recommendation is consume 3 portions of dairy per day.
Depending on how much dairy you eat, this is what we recommend for Whole Bone Matrix: a) If you have 0 portions, take 2 caps = £1.17 per day // tub lasts 30 days b) If you have 1-2 portions, take 1 cap = 0.58p per day // tub lasts 60 days
When to use
Take 1-2 capsules at any point throughout the day. Each jar contains 60 capsules (30-60 day supply).
Ingredients: Grass-Fed Bovine Bone, Gelatine (Capsule).

APE Nutrition - Beef Spleen 180caps
£39.99
Nature’s Iron // Beef Spleen is the richest natural food source of heme-iron (the type of iron which is most readily absorbed by the body). Iron is a really important micronutrient as it’s vital for oxygen transportation, the production of thyroid hormone and immunity. When iron levels are optimal, people tend to report increased energy and overall resilience, whereas when they’re low this is associated with fatigue, irritability, weakness and depression.
When looking to support your bodies iron stores, it’s much more beneficial to get heme-iron from animal foods like spleen, as opposed to non-heme iron from plant foods as it’s much more absorbable (please see diagram in image gallery to the left for details). Also, when you get iron from natural food sources, as opposed to unnatural food sources (fortified foods) or synthetic iron supplements, this means the iron comes paired with other nutrients within the food that aid it’s role within the body. For example, spleen naturally contains copper, which prevents iron overload. That’s also why we decided to include Beef Liver in this blend as it’s not only also a great source of heme-iron but it’s one of the best sources of copper too, as well as being loaded with a whole host of other beneficial micronutrients.
All our organs are sourced from regenerative farms where the cattle are grass-fed and free to roam outdoors. We gently freeze dry the organs raw to maintain as many of the fragile nutrients and enzymes within them. Each jar contains 180, 500mg capsules (30 day supply).
Grass-Fed Beef Spleen | Nature's Iron
Iron plays a crucial role within the body by producing haemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. When the body is low on haemoglobin, the movement of oxygen throughout the body is impaired and people tend to experience fatigue, irritability, breathlessness, aches and pains, weakness, depression or general tiredness. In extreme cases this is diagnosed as anaemia. This can be counteracted by increasing iron stores, which when optimal, result in people feeling energetic, emotionally balanced, strong and having a general sense of wellbeing. Iron is also required to make thyroid hormone so not getting enough can lead to hypothyroidism (underachieve thyroid), which is also associated with fatigue, weakness and depression as well as hair loss and weight gain.
Due to this, there are lots of synthetic iron supplements on the market. However, many of these come in forms that are really poorly absorbed by the body or due to not containing copper, can cause iron overload (more on this below). On the other hand, getting iron from whole food sources is a much safer, gentler and more effective (if you choose the right foods) way to sustainably support iron levels.
When it comes to effectively increasing iron within the body, it’s much better to get heme-iron from animal foods as opposed to non-heme iron from plant foods as the absorption rate is 15-40% as opposed to 2-13%. Please see the image gallery above for an example.
That’s why we created this product ’Nature’s Iron’, containing two of the best food sources of heme-iron; grass-fed beef spleen (70%) and liver (30%). Beef Spleen is the best natural food source of iron with 100 grams containing 44.6mg’s (285% of the daily value [DV]). Beef Liver contains 4.9mg’s (27% of the DV) per 100g’s and although this is a lot lower than spleen, it’s still one of the top food sources available.
These ancestral superfoods also naturally contain a wide array of other powerful nutrients such as folate, B12 (essential for optimal energy levels), vitamin A, zinc, copper, choline, phosphorus, niacin, and even vitamin C, which we know helps support iron absorption even further.
Of all these nutrients, copper in-particular plays a very aligned role with iron in the body. Copper is required to liberate iron from liver stores to enable it to create red blood cells. On the other hand, if we don’t have enough copper, this can lead to iron overload in the liver, which causes inflammation. However, as nature knows best, beef spleen is also high in copper, with 100 grams containing 0.17mg (19% of the DV). This is also one of the reasons we included beef liver in this blend, as it’s an amazing natural food sources of copper with 100 grams containing 9.76mg (1084% of the DV).
Iron also plays an important role in the immune system, as it’s used to fight harmful bacteria, so when iron stores are low, chances of infection and illness increase.
How to use
Consume 1-6 capsules per day (500-3000mg). See our infographic above to work out the best serving size for you.
When to use

£45.00
Aid relaxation and deep sleep with our wild-crafted and concentrated blend of organic Reishi & Chaga mushroom powders that we've encapsulated for your convenience. Reishi is known for calming the central nervous system to reduce stress. Whereas Chaga is a rich source of antioxidants, protecting the body against oxidation and the breakdown of DNA / cell membranes. Each bottle contains 80 capsules (20-40 day supply).DuskWe dual-extract and gently spray dry naturally wild-crafted and organic Reishi and Chaga mushrooms grown with sunlight, fresh air and clean water before concentrating them into potent, nutrient rich powders.
Although all the mushrooms we sell have some similar attributes in terms of supporting the immune system, blood sugar regulation, nerve regeneration, improving mental clarity and physical wellbeing, they also have that one stand out benefits they have become known for: Reishi mushroom has an incredible ability to enhance immunity and reduce stress, which helps with deep restful sleep. The beta-glucans, polysaccharides and triterpenes within Reishi are known for their ability to up-regulate the bodies immune response through boosting our cells ability to eradicate pathogens and increasing apoptosis. Apoptosis is the natural process of our body clearing out damaged cells such as those infected with a virus. Research is also indicating that these polysaccharides and triterpenes can calm the central nervous system and lower stress levels in the body. The increased relaxation that has been observed as a result of Reishi consumption has resulted in increases in deep sleep and enhanced recovery.
Chaga mushroom acts as an anti-stress adaptogen and master anti-oxidant, protecting against free radicals / oxidative stress and the breakdown of DNA and cell membranes. This makes it a great way to counteract the damage caused by daily stressors, such as; air pollution, pseudo foods like vegetable oils and any toxic chemicals we come into contact with such as the ones in the average washing up liquid or cleaning sprays.
