WHOLE BONE EXTRACT SUPPORTS...  Bone Health (think bones, marrow and teeth)... Based On "Like Supports Like"  Connective Tissue Health (think ligaments, tendons, cartilage, skin)...Based On "Like Supports Like"  Dental Health And Immune Health  Supports And Repairs Cellular Damage  NOURISH YOUR WAY TO HEALTH & HAPPINESS WITH GRASS FED BONE MARROW  For most of human history, we effortlessly consumed (nose-to-tail) the things we needed for strength, health and happiness. Like the fertile ground that we once walked upon, we were a natural extension of this earth. In the modern world, we unknowingly struggle to fulfill our nutritional needs in order to support and sustain a vibrant, disease-free life. We are now part of a world where bone, dental and connective tissue health is struggling. At the heart of our whole bone extract is bone marrow... bone marrow contains all the nutrients and substances that the body uses to build, repair, and maintain our living bones and connective tissues. There’s clearly something special (nutritionally) about bone marrow. The healthy peoples studied by Dr. Weston A. Price valued bone marrow, when they could get it. Some would crack open the bones and eat it raw, while others would simmer marrow bones in their broths. In the wild, animals go for the marrow, instinctively. For instance, wolves given access to full deer carcasses gravitated toward those bones with “high marrow yields,” taking care to “destroy the epiphyses” where the marrow was most plentiful.[2]  Whole food, nutrient dense bone, marrow and cartilage can provide great benefit for those seeking targeted support in harmony with nature — the old fashioned way, the way that our early ancestors did.* Grassfed Bone Marrow is a whole bone extract and dietary supplement that provides 100% pure bovine bone, marrow and cartilage as it exists in nature. This whole food contains all the nutrients (collagen, growth factors, stem cells, fat soluble activators, trace minerals, etc) that support bone, dental and connective tissue health.*[3] Our mission is our purpose... putting back in, what the modern world has left out.  New Zealand Our product is 100% sourced in New Zealand. In agricultural circles, it's known that the clean air, green pastures, and animal husbandry is at a higher level Ultra Pure Our product is 100% pure... This means that you won't see any of the extra stuff that most supplement companies include to save time and money (stearates, silica, etc) Freeze Dried Our product is 100% freeze dried in contrast to the heat processed varieties. This means that you get more of the heat sensitive vitamins, minerals and co-factors that make organ meats so incredibly nourishing CONSIDER THE SOURCE New Zealand seems like it was made for raising healthy cattle. Its location and climate produce pristine conditions for cattle, and the farmers have uncanny expertise handed down for generations. New Zealand is unique among meat-producing regions in the world because its climate is moderate so the grass in the pastures grows fresh and grows green year-round which means the cows can eat the food that’s healthiest for them every day of the year. Our nose-to-tail product line is always from grassfed, inspected animals born and raised without the use of pesticides, hormones or antibiotics. Health of livestock used for manufacturing in New Zealand is closely monitored by a world leading biosecurity system that is second to none, and is a global exemplar. Strict government licensing, auditing and certification procedures mean that our genuine New Zealand freeze dried products can be used with complete confidence in their origin, safety and efficacy. Freeze-drying preserves the heat sensitive vitamins, minerals and co-factors of components leaving the nutrients in the same balance as found in nature. BENEFITS OF EATING BONE MARROW Traditional peoples, Native Americans and early ancestral healers believed that eating the organs from a healthy animal would strengthen and support the health of the corresponding organ of the individual. For instance, the traditional way of treating a person with a weak heart was to feed the person the heart of a healthy animal. Similarly, eating the kidneys of a healthy animal was believed to support urinary ailments and overall kidney health... Pancreas was fed to people with digestive problems... and spleen was fed to people with immune and blood deficiencies.*[4] Bone, marrow and cartilage was no different. Weston Price DDS, Author of Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, studied the dietary habits of traditional peoples across the globe. He found that the natives of Canada put great stock in consuming animal organ meats, especially bone marrow. He reported: “Indians putting great emphasis upon the eating of the organs of the animals, including the wall of parts of the digestive tract. Much of the muscle meat of the animals was fed to the dogs. It is important that skeletons are rarely found where large game animals have been slaughtered by the Indians of the North. The skeletal remains are found as piles of finely broken bone chips or splinters that have been cracked up to obtain as much as possible of the marrow and nutritive qualities of the bones. These Indians obtain their fat-soluble vitamins and also most of their minerals from the organs of the animals. An important part of the nutrition of the children consisted in various preparations of bone marrow, both as a substitute for milk and as a special dietary ration.” [5] Organ meats and bone marrow were a staple of our early ancestors' diets as the ultimate superfood, for good reason. It turns out, this nourishing tradition is backed by science... "Radioisotope labeling studies in animals have shown conclusively that, when eaten, organs and glands selectively travel to the corresponding organs and glands in high concentrations. This research, done at the University of Scotland in Edinburgh, lends credence to the ancient practice of eating animal organs to help ensure health in one’s corresponding organs..." - Dr. Ron Schmid, ND.*[6]  Our early ancestors knew this, which is why their traditional diets included the frequent and nourishing consumption of nose-to-tail organs meats. — Based on the ancient ancestral wisdom that "like supports like." Consuming bone, marrow and cartilage supports our own bones (including teeth), bone marrow and connective tissues * — — Contains all the nutrients, specialized cells (including stem cells and base cells), collagen, growth factors, fat soluble activators and substances that the body uses to build, repair, and maintain our living bones, connective tissues and more * [7] — — In the Chinese paradigm, bone marrow is considered the deepest tissue of the body and contains the essence of the being. Itʼs an interesting correlation to consider that modern science has shown that within bone marrow are high concentrations of stem cells, the very organizing influences, and genetic material, for the being. It is these essential nutrients that help our bodies continue to build healthy, vital constitutions and repair cellular damage * [1] — AKGs serve as powerful immune system boosters, helping to fight infectious disease and even treatment resistant conditions. If you want to know more about this fascinating compound, scroll towards the bottom of this page to read "MORE ON THE AKG STORY" or try Googling about "Dr Astrid Brohult discovers AKGs effectiveness in treating children with leukemia." NOTE: There are two types of bone marrow: red marrow (also known as myeloid tissue) and yellow marrow. Red blood cells, platelets and most white blood cells arise in red marrow; some white blood cells develop in yellow marrow.*[8] NOTE: There are a number of caves that show long evidence of human habitation, going all the way back to the Paleolithic period. All of these caves contained ancient fire pits. And all of these caves contained the remnants of large piles of bones. The bones that were found were animal bones. Almost without exception, they had been cracked open, and every trace of the marrow removed.*[3] SUGGESTED USE (6 CAPSULES A DAY) Our Grassfed Bone Marrow is a whole food dietary supplement that provides whole bone extract — bovine bone matrix, bone marrow and cartilage in the physiological amounts that exist in harmony with nature. This product can be taken with (or) without food (even though it technically is food). The suggested use is 6 capsules a day or as directed by a healthcare professional — for added support, the dose can be doubled. NOTE: "Bone marrow was a sacred food for many pre-industrialized Indian cultures. Marrow was considered a special dietary ration for growing children and also served as a substitute for breast milk when necessary." - Jessica Haggard, Carnivore Diet Meal Plan  HIGH QUALITY ORGANS, GLANDS & MARROW Okay, you're convinced! You're going to start incorporating whole bone extract and marrow in your routine because, well... you're educated now... you understand, just as our early ancestors did, that they provide superlative health benefits that are missing in our modern diets.* The next step is sourcing it. It's important that you source the highest quality because not all organs and glands are created equal. Consider the source.  Should Come From An Unpolluted Geographical Region — Isolated, Healthy, Pristine Lands  Should Come From Pasture Raised Cows Should Come From Grass-Fed & Grass-Finished Cows Should Come From Cows That Are Hormone, Pesticide & GMO Free Should Also Be Ultra Pure... Absolutely No Fillers (or) Flow Agents, No Allergens Should Be Non-Defatted, The Way It Exists In Nature Should Be 100% Freeze Dried... Freeze Drying Preserves Heat Sensitive Biological Activity SUGGESTED SUPPLEMENTS If you're going to pick just one ancestral supplement to start with, make it our GRASS FED BEEF LIVER... unless you need targeted support with another specific organ system (see below). If you are going to pick two supplements, our GRASS FED BEEF LIVER and our GRASS FED BEEF ORGANS provide complementary and synergistic nourishment. If you can add a third supplement, GRASS FED BONE MARROW fills fat soluble nutrition gaps and provides the fat soluble activators that nutrition giant Dr. Weston Price extensively wrote about. Grass Fed Beef Liver Grass Fed Beef Organs (liver, heart, kidney, pancreas, spleen) Grass Fed Bone Marrow On the other hand, if you're looking for targeted organ support, you may be interested in our GRASS FED BEEF HEART to support heart health (or) our GRASS FED THYROID to support a struggling thyroid (or) our GRASS FED SPLEEN to support spleen and immune health... you get the picture.* We have a nose-to-tail product line that can be found on our "Products" page. If you can't find what you're looking for (or) you're not sure what you're looking for, send us an email and we'll do everything we can to help. GRASSFED WHOLE BONE EXTRACT & MARROW SUMMARY Our genome has evolved with the nourishment of nose-to-tail dining since the beginning of time. Grassfed Beef Marrow can provide great benefit for those seeking targeted support in harmony with nature.* Based on the concept of "like supports like," consuming bone, marrow and cartilage may strengthen and support our own bone, marrow and cartilage health.* Whole bone extract and marrow naturally provides all the nutrients (collagen, growth factors, stem cells, fat soluble activators, trace minerals, etc) that support bone, dental and connective tissue health.*[2] Not all organs and glands are the same. Look for the highest quality whole bone extract and marrow... It should come from pasture-raised, grass-fed cows that are hormone, pesticide and GMO free. If considering a supplement, look for one that is ultra pure (without binders, fillers (or) flow agents) and look for the freeze dried variety as these have been shown to optimally preserve nutritional factors, co-factors and biological activity. NOTE: Whole bone (or) whole bone extract can be found by various names: MCHA, ossein hydroxyapatite, MCHC, or microcrystalline hydroxyapatite calcium. ACTIVATING AN ANCIENT PATHWAY [FOR DENTAL HEALTH]   “These people, who talk little and sleep naturally, have no dentists nor dentifrice, nor do they require either; their teeth almost invariably rise from the gums and arrange themselves as regular as the keys of a piano; and without decay or aches, preserve their soundness and enamel, and powers of mastication.” — Painting & Writing by George Catlin (1832) [12] Our early ancestors didn’t brush… didn’t floss… didn’t get cavities. This is my “go to” line because it seems that the more we brush and floss and use fluoride, the more cavities we get. Obviously, brushing and flossing aren’t the answer, but don’t tell this to the multi-billion dollar dental industry (nor to the allopathic dentist). We all have the ability to remineralize our teeth… to withstand acidic insults… to arrest and resist decay. Nutrition giants Weston A. Price & May Mellanby published the data proving the vital importance that the fat soluble vitamins A, D and K play in tooth remineralization. Wife is a biological dentist (of 20 years)… I own a supplement company (yours truly). In fact, we developed a consumable product together called “Tooth Restore” that was rich in vitamins A, D, K, magnesium, phosphorus (and others)… This is not in production nor commercially available; nor does it need to be for people to glean the benefits, because as you know, nourishing food comes first — Tooth Restore was a combination product of Liver, Bone Marrow, vitamin D and K2 (mk-4) and magnesium.  — Vitamins A, D, and K2 cooperate synergistically not only with each other, but also with essential minerals like magnesium and zinc, with dietary fat, and with key metabolic factors like thyroid hormone * — — Vitamins A, D, and K2 interact synergistically to support energy metabolism, immune health, provide for adequate growth, support strong bones and teeth, and protect soft tissues from calcification * — — Magnesium is required for the production of all proteins, including those that interact with vitamins A and D * — Our liver product is high in real, preformed vitamin A (5,000 iu per serving). That said, if you are deficient in vitamin D, vitamin K2 and/or magnesium, you will not see as much benefit as you could (nor) will you be optimizing other important health metrics. Do you regularly get mid day sun exposure, or take a vitamin D3 supplement? Do you eat fermented veggies like kimchi or sauerkraut, or take a vitamin K2 complex supplement? Do you take a magnesium supplement (I personally recommend a transdermal magnesium oil spray because it's virtually impossible to get enough magnesium from diet alone). [ NOTE: Bone marrow, organ meats and wild fish eggs are likely rich in vitamin K2 (the MK-4 variety) and the other fat-soluble nutrients, but formal tests to determine the exact range and amount remain to be carried out.[11] While smashing bones and sucking out the marrow fat was the hard way our ancestors obtained vitamin K, it's not that difficult to obtain marrow bones and either oven roast 3" pieces to serve as appetisers, or slow cook them to make them extra delicious / nutritious... or, look for a good bone marrow supplement! ] The take home message here is live life in harmony with nature, the way of our early ancestors… love your bone soups, look to liver, get sensible sun exposure, eat your fermented foods (natto reigns supreme) and mind your magnesium. If you want fresh breath, brush your teeth (see below). If you want oral health, nourish your body. People with periodontal issues (e.g. deep pockets, recurrent infection, bone loss/recession, etc) will also need additional support from whole bone extract (bone, marrow and cartilage), CoQ10 (or Beef Heart) and collagen. Ideally, we would consume these nourishing nutrients by indulging in the deliciousness of true bone broth, bone marrow and organ meats (heart is the richest source of CoQ10 that exists in nature). These additional nose-to-tail nutrients could easily be the missing link to the strength, energy and other health benefits that we are all after. Send me an email... let me know your thoughts... let me know your questions. I'd love to hear from you. Our mission is our purpose... putting back in, what the modern world has left out. P.S. For those that need intensive support to regain your dental strength and health, consider practicing a ketogenic diet as a "supplement" to everything above. Ketosis helps to deprive the bad bacteria of an energy source... less energy means less fermentation... means less acidic byproducts to demineralize teeth and bone (think recession)... Wife, the biological dentist, has been using this supplemental strategy with her patients for over a decade, way before it became "trendy!" It's also incredibly helpful to swish with sea salt water throughout the day, and especially after eating and drinking, to maintain a balanced pH. Lastly, Bovine Tracheal Cartilage (BTC) has proven to be incredibly helpful with treatment resistant conditions and wound healing (tons of peer-reviewed studies on these topics). If you don't know about BTC, you need to. Go here... This stuff works! Ketogenic diet as a "supplement" Salt water rinses Bovine Tracheal Cartilage (BTC) Ovine Thymus (see below) As far as brushing goes, by all means, do it when you feel like it... we recommend using a Bass brush (or) a chewing stick just like our early ancestors did which shows parallel, or even greater efficacy, as compared to standard brushing (see study). When we brush, we use a homemade concoction of bentonite clay, coconut oil, colloidal silver and sea salt with a dash of peppermint oil. There's even a commercial product out there by Uncle Harry's Natural Products that's very similar. ANCESTRAL SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY FOR DENTAL HEALTH Grass Fed Liver (or) Bovine Tracheal Cartilage because our BTC already has liver in it! Grass Fed Bone Marrow Grass Fed Thymus - get this for immune support if dealing with chronic and / or recurrent infections Magnesium... transdermal magnesium oil  (by Ancient Minerals) applied to feet before bed and oral magnesium (by Trace Minerals; Mega Mag) Vitamin D3 - get this from sensible sunshine, wild fish eggs or a supplement Vitamin K2 - get this from fermented veggies like kimchi, sauerkraut or natto (MK-7) and get this from marrow, organ meats and wild fish eggs (MK-4)  Grass Fed Heart - get this if needing gum support too Grass Fed Collagen - get this if needing gum support too UVEX Glasses (see our "About Us" page to know why) Practice Fasting - this is the most powerful metabolic intervention to restore general, system health and oral health. See our "About Us" page to see how I do it. UPDATE: Wife also makes her patients turn off their wifi routers at night, leave their cell phones out of the bedroom and remove electrical devices within a 12 foot radius of the bed (one's pillow should also not be near a power outlet). If you can get away from bathing in non-native EMFs, health and healing has a better chance. Many times, all you need to do is use an EMF meter to see where the fields have biological implications and then re-position the offensive device... sometimes you may need to re-position your bed, chair or sitting area. If you've tried absolutely EVERYTHING and you're still having issues, cut out the phytates and the lectins for six months and stay the course with everything above. VITAMIN K2: MK-7 (VS) MK-4 SUMMARY There's K2 (MK-7) that comes from bacterial fermentation and then there's K2 (MK-4) that comes from animals. K2 (MK-7). Get this from fermented veggies like homemade kimchi and sauerkraut made with Kinetic Culture (my favorite) or buy a boutique brand at the store and make sure that it's raw, NOT pasteurized. If you can spoon some nattō into your mouth (and manage to swallow it), do it every time there's a blue moon or a solar eclipse. You'll also find some of this MK-7 variety in diary too. K2 (MK-4 ). Get this from grass fed / grass finished organ meats, bone marrow, wild fish eggs, and to a lesser degree, pasture raised (totally organic) egg yolks. You can even get this in desiccated Grass Fed Beef Brain / desiccated Bone Marrow in capsule form (yes, that's a shameless plug!). If you throw in the towel altogether, make sure that you're getting a good K2 complex supplement with multiple forms of K2 (especially MK-7 and MK-4) and make sure that it's GMO free since it will likely be coming from soy... you already know the backstory there. DEAR VEGANS & VEGETARIANS Written by Holistic Biological Dentist & Functional Practitioner: Barbara Johnson, DDS, FP I have had the distinct pleasure of getting to deeply know many of my patients that abstain from red meat as well as other animal foods. One thing is for certain, the world needs more people like you... the world needs more people that make such conscientious decisions, with such principle-centered compassion, and such regard for all walks of life. I have no doubt that this, in part, is why I've developed such kinship-like bonds with many of my vegetarian patients... patients that have become wonderful friends... friends that I deeply care about. This is why it breaks my heart to see the devastating consequences of abstaining from our most basic nutritional needs... the critically important fat soluble vitamins (A, D & K — especially MK-4 because it is what fuels the body, down to the mitochondrial electron transport chain but it is also involved in creating the vitamin K dependent proteins, activating specific genes and making testosterone (and other hormones)) and others. With over 20 years of treating patients, I have come to the definitive conclusion that the poorest of oral health is categorically presented by that of vegans and vegetarians. Their oral health is almost always worse than that of the chain smoker, candy addicts and even the chemo patient. In the early stages, these patients present with tooth sensitivity and gum recession (which is actually early bone loss). In the moderate stages, the presentation includes deeper decay, exposed root tips and the shifting of teeth. Advanced stages include chronic and recurrent infections (root canals and abscesses) and some tooth mobility. That which presents in the mouth is an indication of what's going on in the body and brain. Commonly, these patients also present with anxiety and malaise, eczema, muscle rigidity, general aches, low energy, gut and digestive issues, high inflammation markers, allergies and brain fog. And yes, fertility, libido and thyroid function will also be severely compromised in this patient population as well. I learned long ago that I couldn't help this patient population unless they changed their diets. While I'd prefer to see the inclusion of organ meats and nourishing animal fats like marrow, suet, tallow and lard, I at least need to see a willingness to practice ovo-lacto vegetarianism and even perhaps pescetarianism. If you can't do this, I can't help you... I've tried and I've tried and I've tried; there's no more amount of trying that can make it work. That said, the following are some of the nutrient dense foods that can provide back some of the fundamental nourishment needed to restore and rehabilitate health and healing: Organic Pastured Eggs; especially the yolks and especially not overcooked Organic Pastured Egg Shells (for the collagen, hyaluronic acid and glycosaminoglycans) Raw Full-Fat Dairy Including Grass Fed Milk, Cream, Butter, Cheeses, Kefir and Yogurts Organic Pastured-Raised Ghee Wild Fish Eggs Skin-On, Bone-In Sardines Highly Suggested Supplements: Liver & Bone Marrow For my non-vegetarian patients, I won't even consider treating them unless we've addressed the root of the problem. I don't perform band-aid work; as such, they must include the aforementioned foods as well as a diet that's rich in organ meats, bone marrow and the nourishing animal fats that allow the fat soluble activators to do their magic. Like most people, most patients are not willing to make major life changes so I prescribe a lot of Ancestral Supplements prior to performing ANY treatment. If you'd like to know more about my targeted supplement strategies, read the above section entitled ACTIVATING AN ANCIENT PATHWAY [FOR DENTAL HEALTH] — many are vegetarian-friendly inclusions that make all the difference (e.g. magnesium, sun). I have the highest respect and admiration for those vegetarians that live with such altruistic values. Many of whom I have the pleasure of calling my dear friends. Unfortunately, evolutionary biology is not on your side with the dietary choices that support your beliefs and your health is suffering as a consequence. In honor of the bonds that I have formed with these wonderful people, I am making a plea... I'm asking for your willingness to include the whole egg (including the shells), raw dairy and wild fish eggs into your diet. Not only will this address the root issue related to your oral health conditions, this will address all those other health issues related to mood, skin, gut and fertility that go hand-in-hand with long-term malnourishment. I know this won't help everyone, but if it helps anyone, it's a step in the right direction. Thank you. COLLAGEN [VS] OUR BONE MARROW To be certain, collagen peptides offer many benefits… however, collagen peptides will not contain bone marrow (nor) the incredible nourishment of the bone matrix which is at the heart of whole bone extracts and bone soups… this is because almost all commercial collagen supplements come from the hides, not the bones. IS COLLAGEN AND BONE BROTH THE SAME? This is almost like asking if vitamin A offers the same benefits as beef liver. Just as collagen is an important constituent of bone broth so too is vitamin A an important constituent of beef liver. But… there’s a whole lot more to the story when it comes to bone broth than just the all mighty collagen. For instance, bone broth provides everything that’s in the bone matrix (calcium hydroxyapatite, osteocalcium phosphate, collagen, proteoglycans, matrix proteins, cytokines and growth factors, etc), the bone marrow (fat soluble activators and stem cells), the cartilage and yes, it provides collagen peptides too. Keep in mind that collagen supplements come from the hides, not the bones. Don’t get me wrong… collagen peptides are awesome… they just happen to be one of the several reasons that bone broth (and our Bone Marrow) are one of the most nourishing foods in existence. If you can make a homemade bone soup with the femur bone down to the knuckle's end, and you can simmer it for days to extract these ancient nutrients, do it!! There's nothing's better... or is there? Our Bone Marrow supplement will give this bone soup a run for its money. Yes, it's made from the femur bone down to the knuckle's end... Yes, it provides the whole bone matrix... Yes, it provides all the goodness of the bone marrow... Yes, it's rich in cartilage and collagen... they may share the same ingredients but our Bone Marrow product is freeze dried instead of heat processed to keep growth factors and other heat sensitive biological activity intact.  NUTRIENT PROFILE Our Grassfed Bone Marrow is a whole food dietary supplement that comes from the femur bone all the way down to the knuckle's end. This is what we refer to as "whole bone extract" which provides the bone matrix (calcium hydroxyapatite, osteocalcium phosphate, collagen, proteoglycans, matrix proteins, cytokines and growth factors), the bone marrow (fat soluble activators and stem cells), the cartilage and yes, it provides collagen peptides too. All of the building blocks (including trace minerals like boron) are present in our whole bone extract product. These nourishing constituents are in the proper physiological amounts that exist in harmony with nature. We are in the process of developing assays for some of our products. For the time being, I hope that you will find some value in knowing that these health promoting nutrients are offered to us in the same balance that is found in nature... the same balance that our early ancestors would have consumed... the same balance that gave traditional people strong, flexible joints and bones, (including teeth) throughout long and productive lives. TOO MUCH CALCIUM I totally agree with the too much calcium concern... people have been told for decades to get more of the stuff and it's backfiring. Perhaps you too have read "The Calcium Paradox" so you know better... perhaps you know that when calcium is not married with the fat solubles (D, A and especially K2), trouble can arise. Perhaps you know that vitamin D3 is required to absorb Ca... vitamin A is required for osteoclastic activity / bone remodeling so that substrates like Ca actually have a home to go to... K2 is required to usher Ca out of the soft tissues (which is where trouble can arise) and into the hard tissues like bones and teeth.  If you're concerned about voltage gated calcium channels (vgcc), move away from the EMFs (turn off the wifi already, especially at night) and continue to mind your magnesium. If it were me, I would continue to get my nourishment from actual foods, soil and sun... exactly the way that our DNA evolved getting it... exactly the way that our early ancestors got it! As it relates to our whole bone extract, bear in mind that it's the whole thing... it's the calf's femur bone down to the knuckles end... teeming with growth factors... tons of fat soluble activators... tons of bovine cartilage... tons of stem cells... tons of micronutrients found all together in protective, cooperative and synergistic harmony... the way nature made it! WE EVOLVED EATING THE WHOLE BONE Our evolutionary hunter ancestors, take the Inuit for instance, had a wise tradition of harvesting bones and pulverizing them into a powder. Then there are the early natives of Africa that made fermented bone paste out of small game animals. Or, take other tribes like the Nunamiut, or even earlier ancestors, when bone soups were almost always on the menu as evidenced by fire remains and the many mounds of brittle bone fragments... bone soups were a popular menu item as a resourceful way to extract the whole life giving nourishment from the whole bone. It was common that bones would be recycled until they had absolutely nothing left to offer. The whole bone (i.e. marrow, matrix, cartilage, collagen, peptides, enzymes, vitamins and abundant minerals) is in harmony with our evolutionary past. It's the same nourishment that our DNA evolved with that enabled us Sapiens to reach the top of the food chain. It's the same nourishment that our DNA still expects today (in the modern world) to be our strongest, healthiest and happiest. I hope this helps! I hope that you love this stuff! If you do, let us know about it... if you don't, let us know about it! GLUTAMATE INTOLERANCE  If you and the deeply nourishing sustenance of bone soups don't mix, you have may have glutamate intolerance. Chris Masterjohn, PhD is an absolute giant in the field of nutrition and functional health. Here's what he recommends to improve glutamate intolerance, the offending agent in bone broth, collagen and perhaps fermented foods.  Increase opposing mechanistic amino acids to balance glutamate - GABA, 100 to 1000mg per day before high glutamate meal Increase opposing mechanistic amino acids to balance glutamate - glycine, 3 to 5g before high glutamate meal Get even more vitamin B6 (P5P), 5 to 10mg a day More magnesium - orally and topically, 300 to 400mg orally Electrolytes from pinches of pink Himalayan sea salt throughout the day (I do 8g a day) and potassium-rich foods like avocados and almond butter. If the issue is a mast cell / histamine clearance issue, you may need more DAO in the diet. DAO is the enzyme that clears food born histamine. The richest source of natural, dietary DAO comes from Kidney. Learn more on our Kidney page by scrolling to the section that reads "Suggested Dosing." FOR HISTAMINE SUPPORT (DAO) Take 10 minutes before histamine-rich foods. Suggested use is 1-3 capsules per meal or as directed by a healthcare professional. Start with just 1 capsule; slowly work up to therapeutic dose (see "Potential Issues" below). MORE ON THE AKG (ALKYLGLYCEROLS) STORY In the mid 1900s, Swedish oncologist Dr. Astrid Brohult was working with leukemia patients in a children’s hospital. Leukemia is a devastating cancer that affects white blood cells, specifically leukocytes, which are the immune system’s front-line, manufactured deep within the bone marrow. When leukemia strikes, leukocyte production rebels and runs amok. With the concept of "like supports like," Dr. Brohult fed healthy calve’s marrow to the affected children in her care. While native principles of "like supports like" had been well established with glandular therapies (e.g. Thyroid, Insulin and Liver), Dr. Brohult had little more than inner-wisdom and a hunch. With a favorable benefit : risk profile that's inherent with almost all whole foods, she proceeded with this ancient practice, believing and hoping that healthy bone marrow from calves might trigger a resumption of healthy function in humans. Turns out, many of her patients experienced rapid and remarkable improvements that included a normalization of white blood cell activity and a striking return of energy.[13]  Dr. Brohult immediately faced the challenge of isolating the active component in the marrow and spleen (AKGs) in order to devise a more palatable source of the wondrous substance. POSSIBLE MECHANISMS Once again, there's nourishment in Liver, Bone Marrow and other Organ Meats that nourish the deepest parts of our cells. Every wild animal is instinctively smarter than us domesticated sapiens. In addition to the incredible smorgasbord of nourishment, perhaps something greater, or at least in parallel, could be at play... "Recently, scientific interest in the therapeutic potential for gland and organ tissues has increased with advances in oral tolerance or oral tolerization (OT). In terms of gland or organ therapy, OT refers to the process of feeding specific animal proteins, termed oral auto-antigens, to a patient with an autoimmune condition." When the gland or organ protein is fed to the animal and passes through the gut immune tissue, it is thought to provide decoy tissue and desensitize the body’s immune response to these proteins, thus calming the body’s response to its own, similar tissue. In other words, if we ingest healthy bone marrow, thyroid or liver tissue, the body may turn the autoimmune attack to those ingested materials instead of attacking our own tissue, thus resting and recovering our native organs and glands. "During this process, immune cells are transformed from “attacking” or “inflammatory” cells to less reactive cells, termed “regulatory” cells. OT also stimulates the production of “regulatory cytokines” that help to moderate inflammatory responses within the body. For example, a patient with chronic colitis could be fed colonic proteins. Studies have shown that feeding these patients the same protein that matches the compromised tissue in the body stimulates immune cells to release inhibitory cytokines, substances that can suppress inflammation and the autoimmune response. While the first work on OT occurred in the 1890s at the same time that GT was common in medical practice, OT has been shown to suppress autoimmune processes in both animals and humans. Examples include multiple sclerosis, diabetes, asthma, antigen-induced arthritis, and encephalitis. The primary area of interest for OT is in management of autoimmune conditions."

— Proteoglycans are a major component of the animal extracellular matrix, the "filler" substance existing between cells in an organism. Here they form large complexes, both to other proteoglycans and to fibrous matrix proteins, such as collagen. Cartilage is basically made of water, collagen, and proteoglycans, a protein-polysaccharide bond that provides elasticity. [10,11].— Our Grass Fed Collagen is derived from cartilage; it provides all of these nourishing constituents to support joints, bones, cartilage, skin, hair and nails.  NOURISH YOUR WAY TO HEALTH & HAPPINESS WITH GRASS FED "LIVING" COLLAGEN * For most of human history, Sapiens effortlessly consumed (nose-to-tail) the things we needed for strength, health and happiness. In the modern world, we unknowingly struggle to fulfill our lifestyle and nutritional needs in order to support and sustain a vibrant, disease-free life. We are now part of a world where joints, bones, cartilage and collagenous parts (including skin, hair and nails) struggle to heal and be healthy. I believe that the ultimate solution is a return to ancestral living (see About Us page).  Whole food, nutrient dense organs, glands and collagen can provide great benefit for those seeking targeted support in harmony with nature — the old fashioned way, the way that our early ancestors did.* Grass Fed "Living" Collagen is a whole food and dietary supplement that provides pure bovine collagen—in a whole food matrix—with all the cartilage and collagen-specific building blocks, peptides and enzymes to nourish and support one's own joints, bones, cartilage and skin, hair and nail health. Our collagen retains ancestral properties that are otherwise absent in the modern world: MODERN DAY COLLAGENS Modern day commercial collagens are produced from hides, hooves and horns that are otherwise inedible. As such, they are highly processed with high heat, degreasing agents and acids, and end up being far removed from anything resembling the ancestral "living" collagen that our DNA evolved with... these are the raw materials that our DNA still expects today to express healthy and vibrant joints, bones, cartilage, collagen, blood vessels and of course — skin, hair and nails. Don’t get me wrong… commercial collagen peptides are awesome… they just happen to be only one of the 5 major players that bone broth (and our "Living" Collagen) are one of the most nourishing foods in existence. WE EVOLVED EATING MINIMALLY PROCESSED "LIVING" COLLAGEN... Grass Fed Ancestral Collagen is produced from the cartilaginous parts from the innards of the animal (bovine) including the trachea and scapula. The processing you'll find here is simple enough... we use an all natural protease enzyme to remove non-cartilage material, then we freeze-dry it. That's it! As such, our collagen retains ancestral properties in a whole-food matrix that are otherwise absent in the modern world: Typical Amino Acids That You'd Expect From Collagen — Glycine, Hydroxyproline & Proline Trachea-Derived Collagen; Rich In Type II Collagen Scapula-Derived Collagen; Rich In Type II Collagen Bone-Derived Collagen; Type I, II, III Bioactive Growth Factors Molecular Biodirectors Glycosaminoglycans Proteoglycans — The Filler Between The Cells... Keeps Cells From Sagging Chondroitin Sulfates — Lubricate Joints Range of Trace Minerals BIOACTIVE GROWTH FACTORS In addition to some of the typical amino acids that you expect in collagen (glycine, hydroxyproline and proline), our Grass Fed "Living" Collagen is teeming with bioactive growth factors, including Insulin Like Growth Factor I (IGF I), Transforming Growth Factor ß I (TGFßI) and Cartilage Derived Growth Factor (CDGF).  The growth factors are a diverse group of proteins with a myriad of biological functions within the body. As proteins, they are sensitive to manufacturing processes, however our gentle processing techniques help to preserve these delicate entities within our finished product. IGF-I may have a dual benefit on compromised cartilage. Work by Neidel et al (1994) demonstrated that IGF-I partially prevented the inhibition of cartilage proteoglycan synthesis caused by Interleukin I (IL-1). In addition to this beneficial effect on the extracellular matrix, the growth factor actually accelerated recovery of proteoglycan production, after the free IL-1 was withdrawn. Furthermore, it has been established that TGF ß significantly increases the levels of chondroitin sulphate chains in proteoglycans, as shown by Rapraeger (1989) MOLECULAR BIODIRECTORS According to the Godfather of cartilage therapy, Dr. John F. Prudden, “bovine cartilage closely resembles fetal mesenchyme, the primordial tissue from which muscle, bone, tendons, ligaments, skin, fat and bone marrow (the heart of the immune system) all develop.” “The cartilage”, he adds, “contains numerous powerful molecular biodirectors. These have a potent normalizing effect in human biology."[5] PROTEOGLYCANS | GLYCOSAMINOGLYCANS In the 1930s Francis Pottenger, Jr., a noted pioneer in the field who applied the findings and principles of Weston Price, concluded that the healing power of bone broth came from its hydrophilic, water-loving nature. Every pot of properly made broth is full of huge, water-trapping molecules known as proteoglycans. Proteoglycans are a major component of the animal extracellular matrix, the "filler" substance existing between cells in an organism. Here they form large complexes, both to other proteoglycans, to hyaluronan, and to fibrous matrix proteins, such as collagen. Cartilage is basically made of water, collagen, and proteoglycans, a protein-polysaccharide bond that provides elasticity.  Grass Fed "Living" Collagen is also rich in glycosaminoglycans which maintain and support collagen, elastin and turgidity (bounce) in the cellular spaces and keep protein fibers in balance and proportion. Glycosaminoglycans are also linked to the lymphatic system.[6] Chondroitin sulphate is a part of the group of compounds known as glycosaminoglycans (GAG). In cartilage, chondroitin sulphate as part of the larger proteoglycan molecule aggrecan is held within a meshwork of type II collagen fibrils. This meshwork is flexible, and due to the highly negatively charged nature of the GAG molecules holds many times is own weight in water. It is this arrangement that gives fully functional, healthy cartilage its resistance to compression. 100% NEW ZEALAND Pasture Raised In New Zealand Grass-fed & Grass-Finished Hormone, Pesticide & GMO Free Absolutely No Fillers (or) Flow Agents 100% Freeze Dried & Non-Defatted Third Party Tested For Purity Allergen Free New Zealand — Our product is 100% sourced in New Zealand.

Its location and climate produce pristine conditions for cattle and sheep, and the farmers have uncanny expertise handed down for generations. New Zealand is unique among meat-producing regions in the world because its climate is moderate so the grass in the pastures grows fresh and grows green year-round which means the cows and sheep can eat the food that’s healthiest for them every day of the year. Our nose-to-tail product line is always from grassfed, inspected animals born and raised without the use of pesticides, hormones or antibiotics. Health of livestock used for manufacturing in New Zealand is closely monitored by a world leading biosecurity system that is second to none, and is a global exemplar. Strict government licensing, auditing and certification procedures mean that our genuine New Zealand freeze dried products can be used with complete confidence in their origin, safety and efficacy. Freeze-drying preserves the heat sensitive vitamins, minerals and co-factors of components leaving the nutrients in the same balance as found in nature. * Our product line is 100% additive-free.

This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. BENEFITS OF GRASS FED "LIVING" COLLAGEN Traditional peoples, Native Americans and early ancestral healers believed that eating the organs from a healthy animal would strengthen and support the health of the corresponding organ of the individual. For instance, the traditional way of treating a person with a weak heart was to feed the person the heart of a healthy animal. Similarly, eating the kidneys of a healthy animal was believed to support urinary ailments and overall kidney health... Pancreas was fed to people with digestive and endocrine problems...[7] trachea, scapula, marrow-rich bones and other cartilaginous parts provided concentrated amounts of connective tissue, collagen and other proteins that are now missing from the modern diet. Many of our modern day functional practitioners use our Grass Fed "Living" Collagen to support joints, bones, cartilage and skin. A common protocol is to combine this product with our Grass Fed Liver (or BTC) and Grass Fed Bone Marrow. If one needs more type I collagen support, a commercial collagen is included to the tune of 10-15 grams per day.   Dr. Royal Lee, and other early nutritional pioneers, believed the degenerative processes of a specific organ / gland could be reversed by ingesting the corresponding raw materials specific to that organ / gland.7 GRASS FED COLLAGEN & LIVER — THE ULTIMATE SUPERFOODS Whether from grassfed beef, bison, or lamb, grass fed liver is one of the most nutrient-dense, health promoting foods you could possibly eat. Hunters all over the world, for uncounted thousands of years, would eat the raw livers of the animals they killed. Lions and other predatory animals will also eat the liver first. Grass fed liver is particularly rich in vitamin B12, vitamin A, choline, folate and and many other powerful nutrients that most people are deficient in. Grass fed liver also contains compounds that help the human liver function better. Other substances in liver reduce fatigue, improve digestive health and support brain function.*1 Many people look to targeted support "like heals like" while neglecting the very fundamental nourishment that governs our biology, health and well-being. It's no wonder that so many people successfully support organ and glandular related health conditions (thyroid, adrenal and gut included) by just nourishing their bodies with the fundamentals — Liver and Bone Marrow.*   WISDOM BACKED BY SCIENCE Organs and glandulars were a staple of our early ancestors' diets as the ultimate superfood, for good reason. It turns out, this nourishing tradition is backed by science... "Radioisotope labeling studies in animals have shown conclusively that, when eaten, organs and glands selectively travel to the corresponding organs and glands in high concentrations. This research, done at the University of Scotland in Edinburgh, lends credence to the ancient practice of eating animal organs to help ensure health in one’s corresponding organs..." - Dr. Ron Schmid, ND.*[8] Our early ancestors knew this, which is why their traditional diets included the frequent and nourishing consumption of nose-to-tail nutrients. — Powerful effects on wound healing, autoimmune conditions, joint health and other conditions considered to be treatment resistant to conventional therapies *[1,2,3,4] — — Contains numerous powerful molecular biodirectors and immunoregulators to balance and regulate a health promoting response to a given stimulus *[5] — — All the building blocks for connective tissue and cartilage... glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, chondroitin sulfates and type II collagen *[6] — GRASS FED "LIVING" COLLAGEN CONTAINS... Typical Amino Acids That You'd Expect From Collagen — Glycine, Hydroxyproline & Proline Trachea-Derived Collagen; Rich In Type II Collagen Scapula-Derived Collagen; Rich In Type II Collagen Bone-Derived Collagen; Type I, II, III Bioactive Growth Factors; IGF-I, TGFßI & Cartilage Derived Growth Factor (CDGF) Molecular Biodirectors Glycosaminoglycans | Proteoglycans Chondroitin Sulfates — Lubricate Joints Range Of Trace Minerals [NOTE: Proteoglycans are a major component of the animal extracellular matrix, the "filler" substance existing between cells in an organism. Here they form large complexes, both to other proteoglycans, to hyaluronan, and to fibrous matrix proteins, such as collagen. Cartilage is basically made of water, collagen, and proteoglycans, a protein-polysaccharide bond that provides elasticity.] [10,11]   GRASS FED "LIVING" COLLAGEN SUPPORTS...  Optimal Joints, Bones, Cartilage & Skin, Hair and Nail Health Based On "Like Supports Like" * Healing, Immune Health And Joint Health * The Filler Between The Cells... Keeps Cells From Sagging Treatment Response In Conditions Considered To Be Treatment Resistant * Connective Tissue And Digestive Health *[9]  [NOTE: Grass Fed "Living" Collagen’s anti-inflammatory effects make it especially useful for joint disorders. However, it has also been shown to be very effective in inflammatory conditions of the gut.] [9] SUGGESTED USE (6 CAPSULES A DAY) Our Grass Fed Collagen is a whole food dietary supplement that provides Grass Fed "Living" Collagen within the ultimate food matrix. This supplement can be taken with (or) without food (even though it technically is food). The suggested use is 6 capsules a day or as directed by a healthcare professional — for added support, the dose can be doubled or tripled. If consuming more than six capsules at once, the doses should be separated by at least three hours to improve tolerability. As it relates to little ones, our Ancestral Supplements are 100% pure and they're encapsulated in 100% pure bovine gelatin. Since we do not add any stearates, lubricants, binders, fillers or flow agents, (except with our Bone Marrow; see Other Ingredients), our products contain all the natural nourishing properties of grass fed organs as they exist in harmony with nature. In other words, if you would consider preparing homemade liver and onions (or) a homemade organ meat paté for little one, our supplements would be no different — it's just food, whole-food at that!In fact, many of our customers give our products to their babies, toddlers and teens... many email and post reviews about it, including one that notes that she gives her kid half the recommended dose for an anemia-related issue. Another reviewer remarks about our Thymus, at 1-2 capsules a day, is the only thing that works for her son's "angry" eczema. Even a new mom states that she opens the capsule and blends our liver into a homemade Weston A Price formula to give her baby a head start. As long as the little ones tolerate beef products without incident, you would just be giving a convenient source of ancestral nourishment.As it relates to dosing, most of our functional healthcare practitioner accounts suggest 1 capsule for every 15-20 pounds of body weight. I always tell people that I put the care, attention and quality assurance into my products as if I am giving them to my family... because I am! My young boys, wife and I all take the Beef Liver, Beef Organs and Bone Marrow everyday. Pro Tip: Add 10-15 grams of commercial collagen and bioavailable vitamin C (I like acerola cherries or a good powder will do). Why you ask... proline hydroxylation requires ascorbic acid (vitamin C). The most obvious, first effects (gingival and hair problems) of absence of ascorbic acid in humans come from the resulting defect in hydroxylation of proline residues of collagen, with reduced stability of the collagen molecule, causing scurvy and sub-clinical scurvy-like symptoms with bleeding gums, hair loss, skin issues and such.  POTENTIAL ISSUES (DETOX REACTION) Most customers tolerate our supplements without incident; however, approximately 5 to 10% of customers (usually with an autoimmune condition) may experience a detoxification reaction. Detoxification reactions go by many different names including healing reactions, healing crises, cleansing reactions (or) Herxheimer reactions with hallmark symptoms of nausea, headache, lethargy, dizziness and other flu like symptoms. In this instance, detoxification reactions are generally an indication that detoxification pathways in the body are back online... cells suddenly have an opportunity to release an even greater than normal quantity of stored toxins, metabolic wastes, pathogens and unwanted material.  A detoxification reaction is more likely to occur when starting with the full suggested serving size of 6 capsules per day. If you know that you are sensitive to supplements and/or you have an autoimmune condition, you may wish to start slow when adding this product to your current regimen. Tolerability can be greatly improved by starting with just 1 (or) 2 capsules a day and increasing by just 1 capsule every couple of days — this method may take a full few weeks to achieve the desired serving size of 6 capsules per day. If you know that you're ulta sensitive to supplements, email us and we'll do everything we can to help. HIGH QUALITY ORGANS, GLANDS & COLLAGENS Okay, you're convinced! You're going to start incorporating nose-to-tail nourishment in your routine because, well... you're educated now... you understand, just as our early ancestors did, that they provide superlative health benefits that are missing in our modern diets. The next step is sourcing it. It's important that you source the highest quality because not all organs, glands and cartilage are created equal. Consider the source.  Should Come From An Unpolluted Geographical Region — Isolated, Healthy, Pristine Lands  Should Come From Pasture Raised Animals Should Come From Grass-Fed & Grass-Finished Animals Should Come From Animals That Are Hormone, Pesticide & GMO Free Should Also Be Ultra Pure... Absolutely No Fillers (or) Flow Agents, No Allergens Should Be Non-Defatted (if applicable) Should Be 100% Freeze Dried... Freeze Drying Preserves Heat Sensitive Biological Activity (or) Low-Heat Rendered As Is The Case w/ Our Tallow SUGGESTED SUPPLEMENTS (3) If you're going to pick just one ancestral supplement to start with, make it our GRASS FED BEEF LIVER... unless you need targeted support with another specific organ system (see below). If you are going to pick two supplements, our GRASS FED BEEF LIVER and our GRASS FED BEEF ORGANS provide complementary and synergistic nourishment. If you can add a third supplement, GRASS FED BONE MARROW fills fat soluble nutrition gaps and provides the fat soluble activators that nutrition giant Dr. Weston Price extensively wrote about. Grass Fed Beef Liver Grass Fed Beef Organs (liver, heart, kidney, pancreas, spleen) Grass Fed Bone Marrow On the other hand, if you're looking for targeted organ support, you may be interested in our GRASS FED BEEF HEART to support heart health (or) our GRASS FED THYROID to support a struggling thyroid (or) our GRASS FED THYMUS to support thymus function and immune health... you get the picture.* We have a nose-to-tail product line that can be found on our "Products" page. If you can't find what you're looking for (or) you're not sure what you're looking for, send us an email and we'll do everything we can to help. GRASS FED "LIVING" COLLAGEN SUMMARY Our genome has evolved with the nourishment of nose-to-tail dining since the beginning of time. Grassfed Collagen is a whole food and dietary supplement that provides 100% pure Grass Fed "Living" Collagen containing powerful biodirectors, immunoregulars, glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, chondroitin sulfates and type II collagen with bioactive "living" growth factors. These nourishing compounds support healing, immune and joint health along with treatment resistant conditions.* Based on the concept of "like supports like," Grass Fed "Living" Collagen may strengthen and support our own connective tissue, joints, bones, cartilage and skin, hair and nail health.* Not all organs and glands are the same. Look for the highest quality Grass Fed "Living" Collagen... It should come from pasture-raised, grass-fed and grass-finished animals that are hormone, pesticide and GMO free. If considering a supplement, look for one that is ultra pure (without binders, fillers (or) flow agents) and look for the freeze dried variety as these have been shown to optimally preserve nutritional factors, growth factors and co-factors. [ FACT: There has never been a case of mad cow disease in New Zealand. BSE (mad cow disease), scrapie and other known TSE’s, do not occur in New Zealand. A national surveillance programme is in place to provide comprehensive monitoring. ] We care deeply about each and every aspect of our "seed to supplement" business... great love and gratitude goes out to the souls of these beautiful creatures that sacrificed their lives so that we could be nourished.

— “Bones represent an entirely different realm of nutritional content than basic muscle meat, being complex organs playing multiple roles in the body. You see, bone is living tissue, rather than inert structure. It is rigid, true, but it’s actually an organ, placing it squarely in the nutritional all-star camp of liver, heart, brain, kidney, and sweetbreads.” — Mark Sisson [1] NOURISH YOUR WAY TO HEALTH & HAPPINESS WITH LIVING BONE * For most of human history, we effortlessly consumed (nose-to-tail) the things we needed for strength, health, and happiness. Like the fertile ground that we once walked upon, we were a natural extension of this earth. In the modern world, we unknowingly struggle to fulfill our nutritional needs in order to support and sustain a vibrant, disease-free life. We are now part of a world where our bone health is ailing. The solution is to address the root cause with dietary, lifestyle, and behavioral choices while nourishing and supporting our bodies with proven anthropological ways that are backed by modern science... this includes the use of Living Bone. WE EVOLVED EATING ALL PARTS OF THE ANIMAL  Throughout many cultures, bone has been honored as a sacred food that provides us with all of the nutritional building blocks we need to support our robust sapien structure. Our ancestors knew that consuming bones made us strong, resilient, and able to withstand the harsh conditions of our past. Bones were highly prized by native people across the globe. Intuitively, our ancestors knew they had to eat bones to have strong bones. On every continent, there's evidence of traditional cultures grinding up little birds, small mammals, and fish to consume their calcium rich bones. For those cultures who did not have access to dairy, bones were their only true source of calcium. Eskimos fermented their fish resulting in bones that were buttery soft. The natives of Africa made fermented bone paste from the bones of small birds and mammals. In Sweden, herring was roasted over the fire and eaten entirely from head to tail. In Cameroon, native people grill fish bones and eat them like chips. Our ancestors did not struggle with osteoporosis. Broken bones were uncommon. Joint problems were almost nonexistent. Their dental health was perfect. In the modern world, we have lost this native wisdom. Our ancestors never threw away bones and they weren’t consuming dinners from a boneless skinless chicken that came out of a box. They were consuming the whole animal, nose to tail… bones included! Can you imagine how strong we would be if we all remembered the wisdom of traditional diets? We are now part of a world where many people are encouraged to consume plant based diets. You’d have to choke down 8 cups of broccoli everyday to get the RDA for calcium, and most of it isn’t even bioavailable! You simply can’t get enough calcium from fruits and vegetables. Whole food, nutrient dense organs, glands, and bones provide great benefit for those seeking fundamental support in harmony with nature — the old fashioned way, the way that our early ancestors did. Living Bone is a whole food dietary supplement that contains pure pasture raised New Zealand grass fed bovine bone. This nutrient-dense food is rich in calcium, phosphorous, type I collagen, essential trace minerals, and bone stimulating peptides (IGF I & II, TGF β, Osteocalcin) as well as proteins, cofactors and enzymes that nourish and support our whole body especially the strength, flexibility, and remineralization of our bones.* BENEFITS OF LIVING BONE  Our Living Bone is a 100% natural microcrystalline calcium protein complex that supports optimal bone mineral composition and overall bone health. Living Bone is derived from the middle shaft section of the long leg bones (the radius, ulna, humerus, femur, tibia, fibula, & hubris) where the bone is most dense and strong with the maximum mineralization – its pure bone!! Modern-day commercial bone products, like bone meal, are produced from extraneous meat flesh, joints, and bones from any part of the animal. As such, they are highly processed with high heat, degreasing agents, solvents, and acids, and end up being far removed from anything resembling the ancestral "living" bone that our DNA evolved with... these are the raw materials our DNA still expects today to express healthy bones. Our Living Bone is processed with a low-temperature enzyme digest to remove the non-bone tissue proteins and marrow fat. The next step is vacuum drying over a 20-22hr period and then finally it is milled into a fine powder. Living Bone is teeming with bone stimulating peptides (IGF I & II, TGF β, Osteocalcin) and has the ideal physiological ratio of calcium and phosphorus (2:1) in a microcrystalline structure that enhances absorption and bioavailability. Unlike isolated commercial calcium supplements, our Living Bone is a source of naturally occurring growth factors and cytokines. “Bone is living tissue, rather than inert structure. It is rigid, true, but it’s actually an organ, placing it squarely in the nutritional all-star camp of liver, heart, brain, kidney, and sweetbreads. Bone is also slightly elastic, owing to the collagen, which combines with the calcium phosphate to lend “elastic rigidity.” (If it weren’t for the collagen, bones would simply be hard with no give, and thus brittle.) Bone is full of minerals, mostly calcium and phosphorus (seeing as how the “bone” part of bone is calcium phosphate, this is no surprise), along with sodium, magnesium, and other trace minerals.” - Mark Sisson.  Consuming Living Bone supports optimal bone mineral density, bone strength & flexibility, absorption of calcium & phosphorus, as well as muscle maintenance & repair.  Organs and glandulars were a staple of our early ancestors' diets as the ultimate superfood, for good reason. It turns out, this nourishing tradition is backed by science... "Radioisotope labeling studies in animals have shown conclusively that, when eaten, organs and glands selectively travel to the corresponding organs and glands in high concentrations. This research, done at the University of Scotland in Edinburgh, lends credence to the ancient practice of eating animal organs to help ensure health in one’s corresponding organs..." - Dr. Ron Schmid, ND.*[2]  ANCESTRAL WISDOM BACKED BY SCIENCE [NUTRITION]  Bone has evolved over several hundred million years to become a remarkable tissue... a material that has the same strength as cast iron, yet as light as wood. The front leg of a horse can withstand the 1500 pound load generated while this robust animal travels at 30 miles per hour, while the seemingly weightless bird's upper arm is able to keep it aloft through entire migrations, sometimes over 10,000 miles without landing. Deer antlers used as weapons in territorial clashes with other deer, undergo tremendous impacts without fracturing, ready to fight another day. We evolved with the same incredibly strong bones as our animal brethren. Unfortunately, our modern diet along with continuous stressful forces of impact (like running on concrete or carrying too much weight without enough muscle mass) have led to a decrease in our bone's strength and structure. Falling on the ice, car accidents, or a tumble down the stairs can cause our modern bones to fail. While fractures are painful and debilitating, our living bones instantly begin healing. Without question, bone is the ultimate biomaterial. It is light, strong, can adapt to its functional demands, and repair itself... given that it has the proper nutrition to do so. Based on the concept of "like supports like," consuming Living Bone may strengthen and support our own living bones. This ancestral superfood is especially rich in calcium, phosphorus, essential trace minerals like boron, magnesium, strontium, & sodium, as well as type I collagen and bone stimulating peptides (IGF I & II, TGF β, Osteocalcin). These essential nutrients all work synergistically with each other in harmony with nature, and in harmony with the wisdom of our ancestors. Calcium and Phosphorous in the ideal physiological ratio of 2:1 Living Bone contains calcium and phosphorus in the ideal physiological ratio of 2:1. This harmonious ratio allows the body to retain its optimal mineral balance. Supplementing with calcium alone can lead to mineral deficiencies and other health problems. The main function of phosphorus is for the formation of strong bones and teeth. It is also necessary for the body to synthesize protein to support the growth, maintenance, and repair of cells and tissues. It even plays an important role in how the body uses carbohydrates and fats and is needed for proper absorption of calcium. Calcium plays a key role in supporting our living bones. It is essential for strengthening bones and teeth, regulating muscle function, blood clotting, the transmission of nervous system messages, and enzyme function. Weston Price found that traditional cultures largely free from disease and tooth decay were consuming more calcium than the RDA (currently 1 gram). The people of the Outer Hebrides consumed 1.76 grams per day, the traditional people in the Swiss Alps consumed 1.76 grams per day, the natives of Canada’s far North consumed 2.3 grams per day, and Eskimos consumed 2.14 grams per day. “All traditional cultures made use of animal bones in some way… even if they had dairy products, they still took the bones of small animals and ground them up or they made fermented bone paste...” - Sally Fallon Our ancestors consumed at least 1-2 grams of calcium per day which you can get from a couple glasses of raw milk or several ounces of cheese. Most modern people have a lot of dairy products in their diet, so many of us don’t necessarily have to eat bones. For those of us who are allergic to dairy products, or avoid them for inflammatory reasons, we need bones in our diet. The majority of nutrition experts insist that humans can get all the calcium they need from several servings of spinach, broccoli, or kale. This is only conditionally true and can be highly toxic. Keep your bones strong, get plenty of calcium and phosphorus in your diet. Look to whole food animal sources of calcium rich foods like Grass Fed Living Bone, grass fed raw dairy and whole fish (including the bones!) like sardines. Bone Stimulating Peptides (IGF I & II, TGF β, Osteocalcin) Bone stimulating peptides are bioactive growth factors found in the protein fraction of "Living Bone" that play an important role in bone remodeling. Peptides are tissue-specific information molecules, which influence gene expression, start the process of protein synthesis in cells, and regulate proper cellular functioning. Our organs, including our living bones, consistently produce an optimal amount of peptides, but as we age and are impacted by a number of different stressors (environmental toxins, poor nutrition, stress, etc.) our organs will naturally decrease protein synthesis and no longer be able to form new peptides. Deficiency of these nutrients results in cellular dysfunction, degenerative diseases, accelerated aging, and bone loss. One of the most effective ways to counter this deficiency is the consumption of bone specific peptides. Consuming Living Bone supplies our bodies with peptides our body can recognize and use. Mineral Reservoir for Essential Trace Minerals like Boron, Magnesium, Strontium & Sodium, as well as Type I Collagen About ten percent of adult bone is made up of Type I Collagen, which is the most abundant protein in the body. Collagen is very strong but this component is what gives our bones flexibility. Consuming Type I Collagen helps us form strong bones and healthy skin. In addition to its mechanical functions, bone is a reservoir for minerals like boron, magnesium, strontium and sodium. Bone stores 99% of the body's calcium and 85% of the phosphorus. In times of need or nutrient depletion (for example during pregnancy), calcium and other trace minerals can be removed from the bones. For this reason, it is very important to consume adequate amounts of calcium and trace minerals to ensure we are not removing the nutrients from our own bones making them weak and brittle. Published scientific research on whole bone microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCHA), demonstrates its effectiveness at slowing loss of bone mineral density in post menopausal women, improving symptoms of bone pain in those with osteoporosis and slowing the progression of osteoporosis.

Note: Our functional healthcare practitioners don't recommend taking more than 3 capsules per day unless you are working closely with a practitioner that recommended you to do so. POTENTIAL ISSUES (DETOX REACTION) Most customers tolerate our supplements without incident; however, approximately 5 to 10% of customers (usually with an autoimmune condition) may experience a detoxification reaction. Detoxification reactions go by many different names including healing reactions, healing crises, cleansing reactions (or) Herxheimer reactions with hallmark symptoms of nausea, headache, lethargy, dizziness and other flu-like symptoms. In this instance, detoxification reactions are generally an indication that detoxification pathways in the body are back online... cells suddenly have an opportunity to release an even greater than normal quantity of stored toxins, metabolic wastes, pathogens and unwanted material.  A detoxification reaction is more likely to occur when starting with the full suggested serving size of 3 capsules per day. If you know that you are sensitive to supplements and/or you have an autoimmune condition, you may wish to start slow when adding this product to your current regimen. Tolerability can be greatly improved by starting with just 1 capsule per day and increasing by just 1 capsule every couple of days — this method may take a week to achieve the desired serving size of 3 capsules per day. For customers that are highly sensitive to supplements and/or have an autoimmune and/or methylation SNPs, I suggest that you "play it safe" by introducing just one new capsule per week. In other words, just 1 capsule during the 1st week... 2 capsules during the 2nd week... 3 capsules during the 3rd week and so on... yes, this will take some time to reach the suggested dosages but this greatly helps to ensure tolerability of this deep nourishment so that it has a chance to do good.

Features five collagen types from four different sources! Contains eight grams of protein per serving Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles Ease joint stiffness and discomfort Formulated with vitamin C, horsetail extract, and zinc for maximum absorption Odorless, flavorless formula easily mixes into water, juice, or smoothies There’s no doubt that collagen is about as close to a real-life “fountain of youth” that you’ll ever find. It’s the literal “glue” that holds human life together. Because of that, collagen plays a critical role in keeping every part of your body running in optimal condition. In fact, more and more scientific research is confirming that collagen is one of the most powerful proteins that can help smooth wrinkles… keep skin taut and plump… increase your energy… and even promote joint health. However, if you’re thinking about taking a collagen supplement PLEASE DON’Tunless it contains these ingredients... The truth is: most collagen supplements on the market today are a big letdown. You see, research shows that there are 5 major types of collagen that your body needs to thrive: Types I, II, III, V, X. However, most supplements do NOT include all five types in their formula. Usually, they give you just one or two types. So, it’s impossible to get the full-spectrum of age-defying benefits that each major type provides. What’s more, most folks don’t realize that for your body to be able to utilize collagen… it MUST contain vitamin C. Why?  Because without vitamin C your body can’t produce collagen and your skin… connective tissue... joints… and muscles start to become oxidized. And that’s when you start looking and feeling old and worn out. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg… Your body also needs silica and zinc to effectively use collagen. Silica helps keeps your connective tissue pliable. And zinc also helps slow the breakdown of collagen in your body. That’s important because studies show you lose 1% of your collagen every year under “normal” circumstances. But you get too much sun exposure… feel stressed out all the time… or don’t stay properly hydrated… you lose even MORE collagen.  But this doesn’t have to happen to you. In fact, now it’s easier than ever to boost your levels of collagen… so you can allow your body to heal, look, and feel the best… Introducing Clean Sourced Collagens… The only collagen supplement on the market that’s scientifically formulated to promote younger looking skin… fewer aches and pains… and a healthier, more vibrant body. Clean Sourced Collagens is the most bioavailable collagen supplement you’ll find anywhere. That’s because in every serving you get… FIVE Types of collagen – for the ultimate collagen matrix you get Types I, II, III, V and X from FOUR different sources – grass-fed cows, wild-caught fish, antibiotic-free chicken, eggshell membrane – in every serving! Camu-Camu – for a powerful source of vitamin C, so your body can USE the collagen you take… Acerola Cherry – for even more bioavailable vitamin C and an array of phytonutrients that ensure your body recognizes and USES the vitamin C for collagen production… Horsetail Extract (silica) – to practically guarantee your body has the “building blocks” needed for collagen, so it can repair your skin, joints, muscles, and more… Zinc Gluconate – as a “guarantee” that the collagen you take will go to the places it’s needed in your body for rebuilding, rejuvenation, and repair… Our revolutionary odorless, tasteless, and easy-to-mix Clean Sourced Collagens can be added to a wide variety of healthy foods or mixed into water, juice or your favorite smoothie.

Trace is by far one of the most nutritious products we have the pleasure of bringing to you. This is a concentrated solution that you add to your water to make it healthy and mineral rich again. It contains an impressive variety of ionic sea minerals humans need to be healthy. Natural, pure and clean — it's a wonderful way to transform regular tap or bottled water into a healthy, mineral-rich drink that your body loves! Boosts Mineral Absorption Mineralizes Water Increased Energy Muscle & Joint Health Reinforce Heart Health Trace is a pure solution made up of over 70 different minerals.Trace is made from ocean water off the southern coast of Australia — pulled from an area that is especially teeming with minerals and trace elements that are vital to human health and well-being. The ocean water, where almost every mineral and trace element required by the human body can be found, is gathered and dehydrated using solar evaporation. In addition to removing most of the water (H2O) itself, this also naturally eliminates a lot of sodium. The water you are drinking today is missing most of the minerals your body needs.Things like erosion, landslides, flooding, rain, etc. have all taken the minerals that were once infused in the soil on land and have washed them out to nearby bodies of water. Trace Ocean Minerals is a clean, pure way to get all of the healthy minerals out of the ocean and into your safe drinking water at home.Transform every glass of water into a truly natural electrolyte drink.Trace contains 70+ major and trace minerals, 1,800+ mg of ionic sea minerals in every tsp and 12% of your daily required magnesium in every serving. The ocean minerals found in this special solution provide your body with a myriad of health benefits including strengthening your bones, soothing muscle aches, protecting your organs, boosting your energy levels, and replenishing the magnesium your body is missing!Are you mineral deficient?Wendy Myers, health coach and author of Myers Detox Protocol, recommends Trace Ocean Minerals to support your detox protocol.Supplement FactsServing Size: 1/2 tsp (2.5ml)Servings Per Container: 100 Amount Per Serving % Daily Value* Magnesium 166mg 40% Sodium 61mg 2.6% Potassium 55mg 1% Calcium .2mg <1% Sulfate 97mg † † Daily Value not established FAQs How do i use Trace?Just add a few drops to a glass or bottle of water. Shake or stir the drops into your water and enjoy!We recommend you add ½ tsp to your water each day to re-infuse your water with the proper amount of major and trace minerals.Why is it called Trace if it contains so many minerals?'Trace' refers to the 70+ trace minerals you'll find in this powerful solution.Some minerals are necessary in relatively large amounts for our bodies to function properly. These include calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, chloride, potassium and sulfur. Those are sometimes referred to as "macro or major minerals". But several other minerals are only necessary in trace amounts, measured in parts per million in our diets. We need less than 100 milligrams of each per day.Trace contains both major and trace minerals. Over 70 of them in fact. Major minerals being the ones mentioned above like magnesium and trace amounts of minerals like zinc, iron, iodide, selenium, copper, cobalt and many more! These trace minerals are the minerals your body only requires in trace amounts.What makes this better than regular mineral water? Regular mineral water doesn't contain nearly as many different essential minerals as Trace. This powerful solution contains the full spectrum of minerals that your body needs. Most bottled mineral water contains only a few of the 70+ minerals that Trace contains. Also, the two can't really be compared. Trace is a concentrated solution that you add to your water to make it healthy and mineral rich again. It is so powerful you can not drink it straight. Each bottle contains 33 servings that should be slowly added to glasses of water over the course of a month.Regular bottled mineral water is expensive and meant for one time use. It does not contain nearly as many minerals and is meant to be drank straight. A whole bottle of 'premium' mineral water that you would find at the grocery store contains only a fraction of the minerals just 1tsp of Trace contains and will cost you 4X as much as 1 serving of Trace will.What does Trace taste like?When added to a bottle of water, Trace tastes delicious! When you add healthy minerals back into your water, you will be rewarded with a more refreshing, tastier drink. Your taste buds know great water and they come alive when mineral rich water washes over them.

Did you know that magnesium is an essential mineral that is required by virtually every cell in your body?  Perhaps the most high-profile process that magnesium is used for is metabolising nutrients and turning them into energy. EASE Magnesium is a natural solution that enters your bloodstream through your skin to help fulfil your magnesium needs. It does not cause stinging, burning or itching and will not leave a sticky residue on the skin. Benefits Did you know that magnesium, an essential mineral that is required by virtually every cell, is especially important to muscles? Magnesium is an essential building block for hundreds of chemical processes in the body. Your muscles’ ability to contract and relax is highly dependent on how much magnesium your body is getting. Other things affected by magnesium include: Nerve function Cardiac activity Blood pressure regulation Hormonal interactions Bone health Synthesis of proteins, fats and nucleic acids Additionally: It is the fourth most abundant mineral in your body Exists in over 300 different bodily enzymes Is found primarily in your bones (half of your total body magnesium) Plays a role in your body’s detoxification processes Aids your energy metabolism and protein synthesis Helps guide a large number of physiological functions Is required by glutathione (the “master antioxidant”) for synthesis   Is especially valuable for supporting your brain health The list goes on. The bottom line is that magnesium is the multi-tasking mineral your body needs and is probably not getting enough of. Perhaps the most high-profile process that magnesium is used for is metabolising nutrients and turning them into energy. Magnesium activates enzymes which help produce something called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Why is ATP important? ATP plays a crucial role in the metabolic process. When your body breaks down ATP, the energy that is released is used by your muscles. The more you exercise and the harder you exercise, the faster your body burns up the energy released from breaking down ATP. If you’re not getting enough magnesium, it can result in low energy levels and problems with muscle function. Additional Information Are you deficient? Did you know up to 80% of people are magnesium deficient? And that is just the people showing symptoms of deficiency. Magnesium deficiency is currently deemed a "silent epidemic", as often it's effects are not felt until very advanced and difficult health conditions have already developed. How is it that so many people are not getting enough from their diets or are having trouble absorbing what they do eat? It’s an important question. If magnesium deficiency gets out of hand it can lead to all kinds of serious health issues. Below is a short list of some of the factors that can cause magnesium deficiency: Regularly drinking caffeinated beverages, soda or alcohol - Sodas contain phosphates that attach themselves to the magnesium inside your body, making it unavailable for absorption. Plus, your kidneys filter and excrete excess magnesium and other minerals as part of their normal function. Taking calcium supplements - Women should be especially wary of the effects of certain supplements on magnesium absorption. If you have been instructed to take a calcium supplement to prevent bone loss or to treat osteoporosis, this could be the reason for low magnesium levels. Experiencing constant or chronic stress - The Nutritional Magnesium Association website cites a study that investigated chronic stress and magnesium levels. It was found that chronically stressed individuals had lower magnesium stores when compared with control groups. On the flip side, those who had sufficient magnesium in their systems exhibited fewer signs of stress. In other words, stress causes magnesium loss while, at the same time, getting adequate magnesium protects against stress. How to get Magnesium? Ease is the purest, fastest acting form of bio-available magnesium available.  Absorbed directly through your skin delivering a calming energy that your body needs. This powerful supplement is easily absorbed into the skin, enters the blood stream and goes directly to work in your body, affecting aches and pains, helping to support the nervous system and reducing fatigue leaving you feeling revitalised, supple and full of beans. Delivers 27.2mg of magnesium per spray Fast acting magnesium  100% pure solution Why a spray? Oral magnesium supplements are known to have poor absorption rates and may cause diarrhea and other gastrointestinal problems in larger doses. One of the big benefits of a magnesium spray is how effectively it is absorbed when it’s sprayed onto the skin. By bypassing the digestive system it goes straight into the bloodstream and is delivered to the cells that need it. Suggested Use 30-50 sprays on wrists, tops of the feet, underarms, backs of knees and hips. Ingestion not recommended. Best absorbed after a hot shower or bath. Shelf-Life/Storage Instructions Keep bottle capped and store in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. When stored properly, spray will remain fresh for 36 months. Ingredients Purified water and pharmaceutical grade magnesium chloride hexahydrate. 100% pure iMCH.

Vitamins K2 and D3 regulates ‘calcium metabolism’ - a process that supports the movement of calcium into your gut and out of your gut.  Both vitamins are necessary to prevent your soft tissue from calcifying, and help deliver calcium to the all right places in your body.Most people are deficient in vitamins K2 and D3. K2 and D3 are not easily bioavailable in the foods we eat. That’s why it’s important that you supplement the two vitamins for optimal health. Regulate Calcium Metabolism Prevent Fractures Better Bone Health Cardiovascular Support Immune System Support Calcium is the most abundant mineral in your body99% of calcium occurs in bones and teeth. The remaining 1% found in the blood and soft tissues. Calcium is what helped your bones grow during your childhood. Adequate intake of calcium combats the decline of bone mass, supports bone recovery, and prevents fractures.Research shows that a 10% increase in bone mass at the end of adolescence can lead to a 50% decrease in the risk of fractures later in life. This alone shows the importance of getting enough calcium intake throughout all stages of life - especially among post-menopausal women, children and older adults.K2 promotes heart healthCalcium is required to build and maintain healthy bones. But did you know that excess calcium can get deposited in your arteries, leading to arterial stiffening and potential heart disease? Vitamin K2 activates the matrix Gla protein (MGP), which binds excess calcium to bones and prevents it from depositing into your arteries.D3 is a powerful immune-boosterVitamin D3 plays an important role in your immune function. For an efficient defense against invading pathogens, your immune cells, specifically T cells, require high levels of vitamin D3. If there isn’t a sufficient supply of D3 in your body, you’re more susceptible to illness and disease.K2 and D3 go hand-in-handVitamin D3, sometimes known as the “sunshine vitamin” is naturally synthesized when our skin is exposed to sunlight. It plays a vital role in calcium absorption in the intestine. Almost 99% of your vitamin D supply is used to regulate calcium, with the remaining supply used to strengthen the immune system and help maintain muscle strength.Without sufficient levels of vitamin K2, it is difficult for calcium to be deposited into our bones. When not deposited in our bones, excess calcium can be deposited in the cardiovascular system, where it can have harmful effects. Vitamin K2 prevents this from happening.Calcium is a powerful bone builderCombining vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 promotes healthy calcium metabolism and therefore healthy bone and teeth mineralization, muscle strength and recovery, cardiovascular health and immune system function.Supplement FactsServing Size: 0.5 mL (17 drops)Servings Per Container 30 Amount Per Serving % Daily Value* Vitamin D (as Vitamin D3) 1000IU 25mcg 125% Vitamin K (as Vitamin K2) 200mcg 167%       FAQs How should I take K2D3?The typical Western diet does not contain a sufficient amount of vitamin K2, and as such, supplementation is beneficial to everyone. Simply squeeze 17 drops directly on the tongue, or into a glass of water or juice and mix well.What is the recommended dosage for K2D3?Taking 0.5mL (17 drops) is the optimal dosage. We recommend monitoring the body’s response in the first days of taking K2D3 and reducing the dosage, as needed.What is the vitamin K2 as MK-7?Vitamin K activates proteins that play a role in blood clotting, calcium metabolism and heart health. One of its most important functions is to regulate calcium deposition. Vitamin K2 as MK-7 activates the greatest proportion of osteocalcin. Once activated, osteocalcin binds calcium in the bloodstream for transport into the bone matrix, and it also activates the Gla protein which helps to ensure calcium is transported to bones and not areas where it can be harmful.What is the vitamin D3?Vitamin D3 - sometimes called the “sunshine vitamin” - plays an important role in your immune health and the absorption of calcium. If you live in an area with little to no sunlight, it’s important that you supplement vitamin D3.

Frame Builder   The Main Herbs in Frame Builder   Eucommia Bark   Eucommia Bark was the second herb ever described in a written text on herbs in China, playing second fiddle only to Ginseng, “the King of Herbs.” Shen Nong, the great founder of Chinese herbalism, described Eucommia bark as “a superior herb that can prolong life.” A “superior herb,” by definition, is an herb that may be consumed daily for the purpose of promoting health and well being without side effects. Eucommia Bark has remained a virtual icon of tonic herbalism in Asia for thousands of years. It has been consumed by billions of people, and is consumed by millions of people today as a superior, life-enhancing tonic.   Eucommia Bark is traditionally used to tonify the Kidney, Liver and Heart functions, as described in Chinese health theory. It has a warm energy and is considered to be very strengthening, but it is not a “stimulant.” In fact, Eucommia Bark calms the nerves while strengthening the core of the body.   Eucommia Bark is the primary plant-sourced herb in Chinese herbalism used to tonify the Kidney Yang functions. Kidney Yang functions include such issues as our inner power, sexual vitality, structural integrity, mental creativity and resistance to disease.Eucommia is a superb Yang Jing tonic because it is simultaneously powerful and gentle. Its safety has been well established over many centuries. There has been no challenge to its safety in either historical or modern literature. It may be used continuously without causing over-excitation or imbalance of any sort. According to Chinese health theory, the Jing stored in the Kidneys is a determining factor in our potential longevity. Diminished Jing will result in premature aging and early death. Eucommia Bark helps restore spent Jing and helps maintain healthy levels of Jing once Jing levels are normal.   Eucommia Bark is traditionally considered to be particularly beneficial to the lower back, legs, and to the skeletal structure. And although Eucommia Bark is primarily known as a powerful Yang Jing tonic, it is also a strong Yin Jing nourishing herb. Because it provides both Yang and Yin, it is a superb herb for men and women alike and can be used by almost anybody to promote the functions of the endocrine system, to strengthen the physical structure, to promote sexual functions, to enhance normal growth, to promote healing, to promote the healthy functions of the cardiovascular system, and to enhance resistance to infection. EucommiaBark is thus the quintessential example of a safe, mild and potent Kidney tonic that builds Jing, Qi and Shen, with an emphasis on its quintessential Jing building capability.    Eucommia Bark's first fame is in its Kidney tonifying effects. It is in fact the primary herb in Chinese tonic herbalism for building a strong, sturdy, skeletal structure and strong, flexible joints.  It is used to strengthen the bones, ligaments and tendons, and has been used for centuries to help mend damage to these tissues, whether the damage is due to stress, age or trauma. Eucommia Bark is also the primary tonic herb of choice to strengthen the lower back and knees. Traditionally, it has been used to help with problems in the joints, including pain, stiffness, dislocation, swelling and weakness*. However, it is not a mere “remedy.” It is a tonic herb that strengthens structural tissue and improves structural competency at a fundamental level. Therefore, it is preferably used as a tonic herb to maintain the structural integrity of the body so that breakdowns in this system are much less likely, even as we age or are exposed to stress.   Drynaria Rhizome   Drynaria Rhizome tonifies the Kidney, promotes mending of bones and related structural tissues and stimulates hair growth. Drynariais considered to be the most important herb in the Chinese pharmacopoeia for healing damaged bone and ligaments. It is used in all formulas for broken bones and torn ligaments. It is also useful in the treatment of and recovery from sprains, contusions (bruises) and stress fractures. Drynaria has been explored deeply by martial arts practitioners in Asia for over a thousand years and its efficacy is very well established. In fact, the literal name of the herb in Chinese is “Mender of Shattered Bones.” Drynaria is usually used in combination with Dipsacus and other herbs to deal with the specific problems. Drynaria can be used like all Yang Jing tonics to strengthen the lower back and knees. It seems to have special efficacy in a high percentage of cases of tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and bleeding gums. Though it is traditionally considered to be effective for toothaches, I recommend you get to the dentist and get the problem fixed.    Dipsacus Root   Dipsacus

Would you like… Better Bone Health Immune System Support Improved Mood Improved Heart Health Anti-Inflammatory Support Support Losing Weight If so, you may want to give our Vitamin D3 5000iu + Vitamin K2 1000iu MK-7 a try!Our Vitamin D3 with K2 can also potentially give you a whole host of additional benefits such as: Increase Muscle Strength & Repair Increased Longevity Improved Brain Function and Memory Improved Dental Health Brain Protection Promote Proper Blood Clotting UV Protection Reduced Chance of High Blood Sugar Levels What is Vitamin D3?Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin that our body requires in order to absorb calcium in the gut, as well as regulating calcium and phosphorus for bone mineralization [1].Vitamin D is also incredibly important in the regulation of mood, prevention of cardiovascular problems and improving heart health, lowering pro-inflammatory and increasing anti-inflammatory components of the immune system, supporting weight loss, supporting bone health and more.There are two main types of vitamin D - D2 and D3. D2 can be found naturally in some plants, whereas D3 is naturally formed in animals when their skin is exposed to sunlight. The difference being that D3 is roughly 87% more potent at increasing blood vitamin D levels and maintaining concentrations. D3 also provides 2-3 times more storage of vitamin D in the body’s cells than D2.For example, a study on older women found that a single dose of vitamin D3 was almost twice more effective than vitamin D2 at increasing calcifediol levels [2].Vitamin D3 is indeed synthesized in your skin too when directly exposed to the sun's UV rays [3], specifically the ultraviolet B rays that are responsible for sunburn. When the UVB rays interact with a protein in your skin called 7-DHC (7-Dehydrocholesterol), it is converted into the active form of vitamin D (D3) that is then absorbed into your body [4].While the sun is an extremely important source, most people do not get enough sun on their bare skin throughout the year, so you should also acquire vitamin D3 from foods, such as fatty fish (such as mackerel, sardines, salmon and tuna), cod liver oil, egg yolks, but this is also often difficult, which is why many people prefer to supplement Vitamin D3 [5].What causes Vitamin D deficiency?A variety of factors can lead to vitamin D deficiency - the main being simply not getting enough sunlight. Here are some of the reasons you may not be getting enough vitamin D: Not exposing enough of your body for long enough (15 minutes in the sun wearing nothing but underwear will provide enough vitamin D for the day) Sitting in the shade - it’s important to understand that your exposed skin needs to be in direct sunlight Using sunscreen which blocks the UVB rays needed to synthesize vitamin D Living in areas where the sun is blocked, like cities with tall buildings Living in countries where there isn’t much sun, or working night shifts so you don’t see much sun   Winter in most countries (when the sun isn’t as strong/doesn’t appear often) Having darker skin (the darker your skin, the less able you are to absorb vitamin D due to the higher melanin content) If you’re deficient in vitamin D, a variety of problems can occur such as: Rickets (children) or Osteomalacia (adults) - distortion and softening of the bones [6] Low mood [7] Increased risk of cardiovascular problems [8] Increase risk of bone fractures and breaks from falls [9] Tiredness, pains and aches Can you test your levels of Vitamin D?If you suspect you have low vitamin D levels, or simply want to find out what your levels are - your doctor can perform a simple blood test. You can also order this test for yourself privately in most locations, we recommend this as it’s very important to have the optimals levels of Vitamin D3, not too little, not too much.If you are found to be deficient, your doctor may also want to perform x-rays to check the strength of your bones.What is Vitamin K2?Vitamin K is another fat soluble vitamin that is essential for the metabolism of calcium, blood clotting, heart health, bone health and many other functions in our bodies [10].The two types of vitamin K are K1 and K2. K1 is a plant form and can be found in some green vegetables, whereas K2 can be found in fermented and animal foods. Vitamin K2’s long side chain allows it to remain in the blood and circulate for longer, making K2 the best form of vitamin K. Where K1 might stay in the blood for several hours, K2 can remain in circulation for days [11].It’s vital that you take vitamin K2 when taking larger doses of vitamin D, but more on this later.Why you should always take Vitamin K2 alongside D3…It’s absolutely essential to take vitamin K2 alongside vitamin D3 for a couple of reasons. The main reason is that it's much safer to take higher doses of D3 with K2, because too much D3 by itself will pull calcium out of your bones, leading to lower bone density. Excessive vitamin D3, without K2, may also lead to calcium being deposited in your arteries, causing hardening of the arteries (vascular calcification).Vitamin K2 works to put calcium back into your bones [12], as well as helping to keep your arteries clear. A balanced formula with both allows you to reap the anti-inflammatory, immune supporting and other benefits of vitamin D3, while minimizing bone calcium loss and the potential for cardiovascular problems.Why Try Feel Younger® Vitamin D3 5000iu + Vitamin K2 1000iu MK7?Our vitamin D3 5000iu + vitamin K2 1000iu MK7 capsules are antibiotic free, gluten free, sugar free, hormone free, lactose free and contain no nasty binders.We use a type of K2 called MK-7 which is a step up from the normal K2 you’ll find in many other K2 supplements. MK-7 has higher efficacy due to its higher bioavailability and longer half-life than other versions of vitamin K2 [13].We’ve also included Bioperine (a patented black pepper extract) in our vitamin D3 with K2 formula because of its ability to increase nutrient absorption [14].Bioperine in itself also possess potential health benefits, such as boosting brain function by decreasing inflammation [15], improving memory and protecting the myelin sheath [16], anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects on UV (ultraviolet) induced skin damage [17] and preventing high blood sugar levels [18].This means when you take our vitamin D3 with K2 capsules, you know that you’re getting the highest quality, best forms of vitamin D and vitamin K that are the most bioavailable (available for your body to use) and last the longest in your body (longer half-life) and are going to be absorbed exponentially better than other D3 with K2 products due to our Bioperine content.How do you take it?Take one capsule a day, preferably with some kind of dietary fat to help better absorb the vitamins.Any cautions?Although vitamin D is tolerable in high doses, (10,000 iu & upwards) it’s important to bear your sun time in mind.If you’ve spent hours in strong sunshine, supplementation may not be beneficial (in rare cases, excessive vitamin D can cause nausea, vomiting, dehydration, confusion and abdominal pain).Vitamin K is generally considered to be well tolerated and safe but in rare cases, people may experience minor digestive effects.

The classic organic silica of Dr. Loïc le Ribault Silicium G7 Original, now improved and renamed Silicium G7 Dynamised. It has been the product most appreciated by consumers for 25 years, thanks to its excellent results. With maximum assimilation according to comparative scientific trials, it delivers silica in a AVAILABLE form.  Instructions for use Take 15 ml twice a day, 15 minutes before meals and medication. No contraindications or side effects. Ingredients Purified water, monomethylsilanetriol, potassium phosphate. Provides 5 mg of elemental silicon for 30 ml equivalent to 17,5 mg of maximum absorption Monomethylsilanotriol.   Tips: Store in a cool, dry place. Supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the expressly recommended daily dose.  Presentation 1000 ml bottle. Without preservatives. With dosage cup. Benefits of Original Silicium G7 It improves the appearance of the skin with an anti-aging effect Regenerates the hair, helps it grow and keep it healthy. Provides joint comfort. Repairs weak and brittle nails. Its new formula consists of an innovative high-pressure system to improve the digestion of silica by the body's cells, which increases the speed of assimilation and accelerates the results, as proven by scientific studies. Original formula by Dr. Loïc le Ribault Silicium G5 Original is Dr. Loïc Le Ribault’s organic silica. With maximum assimilation according to comparative scientific trials, it delivers silica in a monomeric form, which means that it is possible to maintain the molecule, very unstable in itself, active and without degradation, which multiplies its efficacy. In 1994 Le Ribault managed to stabilize organic silica, applied until then only with topical pads, making its oral intake possible. Its depurative and regenerative properties have been confirmed in recent trials, with a decrease in heavy metals and improvement in the skin as a result (Anderson 2017). As early as 1993 the scientist Forrest H. Nielsen stated in his publication: “Silica is a beneficial element for bones, brain, and blood vessels”. He mentions organic silica and confirms its qualities. Several ensuing scientific publications have confirmed these trials. Dynamisation of organic silica Dynamized product using a new high-pressure method. The product is introduced into a hyperbaric chamber and a pressure of 6000 atmospheres is applied for a few minutes. This process improves the fixation of the silica molecule with water, thus facilitating its greater solubility and therefore its assimilation capacity and passage through the cells, obtaining faster results. Besides, the quality of organic silica as a carrier of other molecules within cells is improved. Hair  Helps men and women to strengthen hair, providing greater shine, strength and resistance. Skin Silica nourishes, regenerates and increases the consistency of collagen in the skin. Collagen is an essential element for skin elasticity and silica helps to have a good level of collagen. Nails Silica improves nail hydration by delivering nutrients to the nails, helping not only to impart strength to the nails, but also to feed the nail bed with all the vital nutrients to promote healthy and strong nails. Joints, bones, ligaments, cartilage and tendons Silica helps keep joints, bones, cartilage, ligaments and tendons healthy. These tissues are composed primarily of collagen, which is known as the main protein of connective tissue. Factors such as nutrition, stress or aging lead to collagen deterioration which in body mechanics manifests itself in limited mobility, cartilage loss, tendonitis and osteoporosis. Silica promotes additional calcium deposition in the bones and aids in mineralization processes. Healthy, well nourished collagen is flexible, strong and rich in silica. Detox Effect Silica helps the body eliminate toxins, cleanse the liver, improve the digestive system and can eliminate heavy metals accumulated in the body, essentially aluminum. In the scientific field there are many research groups that have evaluated the neurotoxic effects of Aluminum and more than 25 studies have been published in different parts of the world demonstrating that Silica is the only element that can eliminate aluminum from the body. Anti-aging action Silica nourishes, stimulates and regenerates collagen in the skin. Our skin is rich in collagen content and silica maintains high levels. Why choose Silicium Organic Silicon? Silica is essentially in a non-soluble form in nature and is poorly bioavailable. Naturally occurring silica is extremely unstable and tends to degrade rapidly, leading to poor absorption. The apparent paradox, being an abundant and widely available element in natural forms, is that it is essentially unusable by human organisms because there is a chemical barrier that prevents it from being used as a nutrient. Silicium Laboratories, using research by scientists such as Dr. Loïc Le Ribault, has developed a model of stable and highly absorbable dietary silica.

The Essential Builder and Healer Benefits: Speeds Up Recovery Easy to Mix With Food Repairs Soft Tissue Product Description: 1 bag of Upgraded Collagen Protein (1 lb) Upgraded Collagen is the gold standard for achieving the fastest possible healthy tissue repair, muscle matrix, bone renewal and recovery after exercise! It can boost mental clarity, reduce inflammation, upgrade your skin, and it mixes easily with other foods and shakes thanks to its neutral taste. Benefits of Upgraded Collagen: Fast Tissue Repair - Upgraded Collagen provides the particular proteins that ensure cohesion, elasticity and regeneration of skin, cartilage and bone. Greater Flexibility and Mobility - Upgraded Collagen makes the main building blocks of connective tissue more bioavailable and better absorbed into joints for greater flexibility and mobility. Stronger Bones and Joints - Upgraded Collagen supports strong, heavier, denser bones and is an excellent source of proline and glycine, two building blocks of cartilage that are essential for refueling after exercise and sports. Revitalized Skin - Upgraded Collagen promotes skin hydration, reduces the number of fine lines, prevents deeper wrinkles, and maintains the suppleness of your skin from the inside-out. Weight Loss - Upgraded Collagen (97% pure protein) helps with weight loss by delivering quick satiation of hunger. Build Muscle - Upgraded Collagen supports muscle building by facilitating the synthesis of creatine in the body. Reduce Aging - Upgraded Collagen replaces the necessary proteins that diminish and breakdown from aging. Deeper Sleep - Upgraded Collagen taken at bedtime deepens sleep, provides arginine to stimulate growth hormone release, and provides nutrients necessary to perform tissue repair while sleeping. Brain Function - Upgraded Collagen provides glycine, a neurotransmitter involved in motor and sensory pathways as well as ATP synthesis. Upgraded Collagen is High Quality and Pure Our Upgraded Collagen is sourced from the purest pasture-raised cows. These cattle are untouched by drugs or hormones and are not just "grass-fed" (which can mean grass-fed, but grain finished, or only fed grass sometimes) but actually spend their entire lives in the pasture. Unlike gelatin, which is damaged by heat processing, Upgraded Collagen is enzymatically processed several times to leave its peptides intact, resulting in a neutral tasting, highly available protein that doesn’t clump up or have a strong taste like gelatin. It is far easier to use and contains more collagen than bone broth. Upgraded Collagen does not contain any dairy, egg, sugar, corn, yeast, wheat, soy, gluten, artificial flavors, or preservatives. Our collagen source has been used safely for many years, and is certified by the FDA as GRAS (generally recognized as safe). Upgraded Collagen supplies essential proteins that our bodies use to build and repair our bones, joint surfaces, skin, teeth, eyes, arteries, intervertebral disks, and much more. Collagen is one of the most important nutrients needed to maintain a strong body, keep you in healing mode, and counter-act the degenerative effects of aging. Unfortunately, in this day and age, the average person has hardly any collagen in their diet! Collagen traditionally made its way into our diets through bone-broths, slow-cooked organ meats, kidney pie, baked beef heart, whole crustaceans, and whole fish soups and stews. But now, few people prepare foods with this source of meats, so we developed Upgraded Collagen to give ourselves the simplest and best source of these essential nutrients. Upgraded Collagen is a dietary supplement that can be added to any liquid drink, or paleo meal you already make, without needing to cook time-consuming broths, stews, soups, and organ meats. Recommended Usage: use 1 tbls in 1/2 a cup or more of water or in your favorite beverage. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Being a major component of the human body (it makes up roughly 30% of total body protein), collagen gives structure to our tendons, ligaments, bones, skin, hair, nails and the gut lining. Our powder is a combination of type 1 & 3 collagen sourced from 100% grass-fed and finished cattle free from hormones, antibiotics or exposure to chemicals. Hot and cold soluble, as well as odourless and flavourless, our collagen peptides can be mixed into a wide variety of drinks or meals. Each bag contains 400g's (40 servings).  HOW TO USEConsume 10-20g per day. Hot and cold soluble, as well as odourless and flavourless, our grass-fed collagen peptides can be mixed into a wide variety of drinks or meals.  WHEN TO USECollagen can be taken at any time throughout the day. Personally we like to add 10g’s to our morning coffee and an additional 10g’s to post workout shakes. Eating whole animals, nose-to-tail, was a way of life for human beings for 99% of our existence on this earth. It’s only recently that the really nutritious parts of animals like organs and bones have dropped out of our diet. Our ancestors believed that to strengthen parts of their body, it was important to consume the corresponding part of a healthy animal. Interestingly, this is just now being validated by science. Research conducted at the University of Edinburgh in animal models has shown conclusively that when eaten, organs and glands selectively travel to the corresponding organ of the consumer in high concentrations. Although not an organ, collagen supports this research, as when consumed it travels to our skin, connective tissues, gut lining, bones and hair to strengthen them.Our ancestors 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 nutrient dense the rarer parts of an animal are and would prise these over muscle meats. Fast forward to today and the immense powers of eating nose-to-tail has somewhat been forgotten. Parts of animals that were once highly sought after are 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.Nutritional Information: One Serving ( 2 Scoops / 10g) - Kcal: 36.8 - Fat: 0 - of which Saturates: 0 - Carbohydrates: 0 - of which Sugars: 0 - Fibre: 0 - Protein: 9.2 - Salt: 0.14 Amino Acid Profile (Typical G AA / Per 100g) Alanine 8.1 - Arginine 8.4 -Asparagine 6.6 - Glutamine 12.4 - Glycine 20.6 - Histidine 0.8 - Hydroxylysine 1.2 - Hydroxyproline 11.4 - Isoleucine 1.5 - Leucine 2.9 - Lysine 3.4 - Methionine 0.6 - Phenylalanine 2.1 - Proline 11.5 - Serine 3.4 - Threonine 1.9 - Tyrosine 0.5 - Valine 2.4Ingredients: 100% Grass-Fed Bovine Collagen Peptides *Our collagen powder is sourced from 100% grass-fed and finished cattle free from hormones, antibiotics or exposure to chemicals.  FAQ's WHAT IS COLLAGEN? Collagen is a major component of the human body, making up around 30% of our total body protein. It’s the main structural protein in connective tissue such as ligaments and tendons. It’s also found in bones, nails, hair and makes up roughly 80% of our skin. WHY TAKE COLLAGEN?Generally as people age, their collagen depletes, which can cause deterioration of skin and connective tissues. Topping your collagen levels up through diet counteracts this depletion and therefore supports strong connective tissues, bones and skin elasticity. IS YOUR COLLAGEN GRASS-FED AND FINISHED?Yes, we source our collagen from certified grass-fed and finished cattle that roam freely outdoors on pasture and are not exposed to antibiotics, hormones or any artificial chemicals.

Due to indoor lifestyles and limited D3 food sources available, an extra source of Vitamin D can be found through supplements. Vitamin D3 (from cholecalciferol) is an effective source for supplementing the body’s natural Vitamin D production. Also, Vitamin K2 is great for promoting healthy, flexible arteries and overall heart health, as well as bone health.VITAMIN D3 LIQUID SUPPLEMENTS WITH K2 IS IDEAL FOR: Maintaining calcium and phosphorus levels for healthy bones and feet Providing a good source of Vitamin D3 for those with limited sun exposure Boosting one's immune, brain and nervous systems Improving one’s mood and feel-good barometer Helping to improve cognitive function for all age groups Fast-Acting, Effective Vitamin D3 & K2 Drops MORE ABOUT OUR DAILY DROPS No PreservativesNo Artificial SweetenersGluten-Free100% Money Back GuaranteeThird-Party TestedGMP CertifiedINGREDIENTS: Vitamin D3 (from cholecalciferol) Vitamin K2 (as the MK-7 (MenaQ7®)) MCT oil (medium chain triglycerides)

Benefits: 23g of protein per serving Collagen from pasture-raised cows Supports bones, joints, skin and hair† Description: 1 – 17.6oz canister of Vanilla Collagen Protein Bulletproof™ Vanilla Collagen Protein makes it easy to get the same vital amino acids found in bone broth without the time-consuming preparation. Why Add Extra Collagen to Your Diet? Traditionally, collagen used to make its way into peoples’ diets through foods like bone broths, slow-cooked organ meats, kidney pies, baked beef hearts, whole crustaceans, and whole-fish soups and stews… However, unless a person is routinely eating these types of meals, chances are the body is barely getting any naturally occurring collagen protein at all. Bulletproof™ Vanilla Collagen Protein is naturally sweet and great in smoothies, yet so tasty you’ll also love it mixed with water. Looking for inspiration in the kitchen? Try blending Vanilla Collagen Protein into Bulletproof® Coffee for a delicious vanilla collagen latte. Plus, it’s made with Bulletproof XCT® oil, so it’s also a satisfying way to add high-energy fats to your diet. While collagen can help the body build or maintain muscle and aid recovery post-workout, you don’t have to pump iron to experience the benefits. In fact, most people enjoy collagen for its other perks including… Promoting resilient, flexible joints Supporting hair growth Reducing wrinkles and stretch marks Upgrading skin with a radiant, healthy ‘glow’ Stir up a glass before the gym, after the gym, instead of the gym – hey, it’s up to you. What is Collagen? Collagen is the largest and most abundant protein in the body, making up about 30 to 35% of the total protein. Collagen is in every tissue of the body and is the connective tissue in structures such as skin, hair, nails, bones, lungs, heart and liver. It is often referred to as the glue that holds the body together. Collagen contains glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, the three amino acids the body uses to manufacture its own collagen. What does collagen do, exactly? 1) Smoother, more hydrated skin Skin and connective tissue contain special cells called fibroblasts that manufacture collagen. They can crank it out as long as they have plenty of glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. The best way to get those amino acids is hydrolyzed collagen, which has been broken down so it’s more bioavailable. Hydrolyzed collagen: Improves skin elasticity. Decreases skin cracking. Helps smooth out wrinkles. Increases fibroblast density, a marker of healthy, elastic skin. Increases skin moisture. 2) Stronger joints Collagen can also strengthen joints, increasing their resilience. Several studies have found that taking hydrolyzed collagen decreases joint pain after exercise and makes joints more flexible. Collagen is also a great hack for endurance athletes, particularly if the preferred exercise is tough on joints. Long-distance running is the worst offender. Most sports take their toll, as can heavy lifting. 3) Faster recovery Collagen is the main protein the body recruits to help build everything from the connective tissue in skin to the tendons that attach muscles to bone. It works well for several reasons: Collagen forms a flexible matrix, covering new tissue while still allowing it to move. It acts as a sort of scaffold that holds everything together so other cells can rebuild. It helps keep tissue clean. It can assimilate with surrounding tissue, helping to bring pieces of tissue together. The body’s collagen needs go up when injured. If recovering from something, try taking 10g of collagen or Collagelatin™ 2-3 times per day. What are the Differences Between Collagen, Whey & Collagelatin? One of the biggest differences between collagen and whey is in the amino acids. Collagen is higher in glycine – an amino acid that combines with glutamine and cysteine (found in whey and other protein sources) to support the production of glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant. Although collagen has an incomplete amino acid profile, the amino acids it does provide fill in the gaps commonly seen in dietary protein and protein supplements. And because Bulletproof™ Collagen is enzymatically hydrolyzed (breaking the bonds that form gelatin), Bulletproof Collagen protein does not thicken upon cooling like regular gelatin. Ingredients: Hydrolyzed collagen powder, Bulletproof™ XCT® oil powder (caprylic and capric acid triglycerides from highly refined coconut and/or palm kernel oil, tapioca dextrin), coconut creamer powder (nonfat dry coconut milk, non-GMO maltodextrin, coconut oil, gum acacia, less than 2% sunflower lecithin, tri-calcium phosphate), natural vanilla flavor, erythritol, cellulose gum, Rebaudioside A (refined stevia leaf extract). Bulletproof™ Collagen Protein is made of predominantly Type I and a small amount of Type III bovine collagen that comes from pasture-raised, hormone-free cows. And unlike cheaper collagen that can end up damaged by heat, Bulletproof Collagen is enzymatically processed several times, to leave its nutrition-giving peptides intact. That makes it highly bioavailable for maximum nutritional potency.

Bone Marrow is the fat held in the centre of animal bones and has a wide variety of health benefits including; strengthening cartilage / bones, increasing immunity, improving skin health, reducing inflammation and even enhancing body composition. Rich in collagen, peptides, growth factors, stem cells and a wide variety of micronutrients, it’s one of nature’s true superfoods, with research showing it can aid your body in the production of both red and white blood cells. All the bone marrow we source for our nose-to-tail line comes from regenerative farms where the cattle are 100% grass-fed and free to roam outdoors. We gently freeze dry the marrow raw to maintain as many of the nutrients and stem cells within it. Each jar contains 180, 500mg capsules (30 day supply).   About the product Grass-Fed Bone Marrow Capsules Eating whole animals, nose-to-tail, was a way of life for humans for the majority of our existence up until recent history and Bone Marrow was a vital part of the nose-to-tail diet. Weston A. Price (considered by many to be the godfather of modern day holistic health) studied traditional cultures to try and understand why their natural diets kept them so healthy and witnessed this firsthand. “I found the Indians putting great emphasis upon the eating of the organs of the animals, including the wall of parts of the digestive tract,” he explained in his book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. “Much of the muscle meat of the animals was fed to the dogs. It is important that skeletons are rarely found where large game animals have been slaughtered by the Indians of the North. The skeletal remains are found as piles of finely broken bone chips or splinters that have been cracked up to obtain as much as possible of the marrow and nutritive qualities of the bones. […] An important part of the nutrition of the children consisted in various preparations of bone marrow, both as a substitute for milk and as a special dietary ration.” Dr Price’s health concepts around the importance of real food that he generated through spending time with indigenous peoples untouched by the modern have and continue to help reverse chronic diseases world wide. 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 nutrient dense organ meat is and would prise this over muscle meats. Fast forward to today and the immense powers of organs 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 Consume 6 capsules per day (3000mg)  When to useTake 6 capsules per day, ideally in the morning to flood your body with micronutrients for the day ahead. Each jar contains 180 capsules (30 day supply) and each capsule is 500mg.Ingredients: 70% Grass-Fed Beef Bone Marrow, 30% Grass-Fed Beef Liver, Bovine Gelatine (Capsule). *All our organs come from a regenerative farm where the cattle are grass-fed and roam outdoors.

Strong Bones   The Herbs in Strong Bones   Eucommia Bark   Eucommia Bark was the second herb ever described in a written text on herbs in China, playing second fiddle only to Ginseng, “the King of Herbs.” Shen Nong, the great founder of Chinese herbalism, described Eucommia bark as “a superior herb that can prolong life.” A “superior herb,” by definition, is an herb that may be consumed daily for the purpose of promoting health and well being without side effects. Eucommia Bark has remained a virtual icon of tonic herbalism in Asia for thousands of years. It has been consumed by billions of people, and is consumed by millions of people today as a superior, life-enhancing tonic.   Eucommia Bark is traditionally used to tonify the Kidney, Liver and Heart functions, as described in Chinese health theory. It has a warm energy and is considered to be very strengthening, but it is not a “stimulant.” In fact, Eucommia Bark calms the nerves while strengthening the core of the body.   Eucommia Bark is the primary plant-sourced herb in Chinese herbalism used to tonify the Kidney Yang functions. Kidney Yang functions include such issues as our inner power, sexual vitality, structural integrity, mental creativity and resistance to disease. Eucommia is a superb Yang Jing tonic because it is simultaneously powerful and gentle. Its safety has been well established over many centuries. There has been no challenge to its safety in either historical or modern literature. It may be used continuously without causing over-excitation or imbalance of any sort. According to Chinese health theory, the Jing stored in the Kidneys is a determining factor in our potential longevity. Diminished Jing will result in premature aging and early death. Eucommia Bark helps restore spent Jing and helps maintain healthy levels of Jing once Jing levels are normal.   Eucommia Bark is traditionally considered to be particularly beneficial to the lower back, legs, and to the skeletal structure. And although Eucommia Bark is primarily known as a powerful Yang Jing tonic, it is also a strong Yin Jing nourishing herb. Because it provides both Yang and Yin, it is a superb herb for men and women alike and can be used by almost anybody to promote the functions of the endocrine system, to strengthen the physical structure, to promote sexual functions, to enhance normal growth, to promote healing, to promote the healthy functions of the cardiovascular system, and to enhance resistance to infection. Eucommia Bark is thus the quintessential example of a safe, mild and potent Kidney tonic that builds Jing, Qi and Shen, with an emphasis on its quintessential Jing building capability.    Eucommia Bark's first fame is in its Kidney tonifying effects. It is in fact the primary herb in Chinese tonic herbalism for building a strong, sturdy, skeletal structure and strong, flexible joints.  It is used to strengthen the bones, ligaments and tendons, and has been used for centuries to help mend damage to these tissues, whether the damage is due to stress, age or trauma. Eucommia Bark is also the primary tonic herb of choice to strengthen the lower back and knees. Traditionally, it has been used to help with problems in the joints, including pain, stiffness, dislocation, swelling and weakness*. However, it is not a mere “remedy.” It is a tonic herb that strengthens structural tissue and improves structural competency at a fundamental level. Therefore, it is preferably used as a tonic herb to maintain the structural integrity of the body so that breakdowns in this system are much less likely, even as we age or are exposed to stress.   [More on Eucommia Bark and how it helps bone health]   Eucommia Seed   Eucommia Seed has been found to have special action on strengthening bone. Eucommia Seed has the same actions as Eucommia Bark, But the action of Eucommia Seed on bone is stronger than the action of Eucommia Bark due to calcium compounds in the seed that specifically promote bone health. Eucommia Bark and Eucommia Seed are derived from the same plant.   Drynaria Rhizome   Drynaria Rhizome tonifies the Kidney, promotes mending of bones and related structural tissues and stimulates hair growth. Drynaria is considered to be the most important herb in the Chinese pharmacopoeia for healing damaged bone and ligaments. It is used in all formulas for broken bones and torn ligaments. It is also useful in the treatment of and recovery from sprains, contusions (bruises) and stress fractures. Drynaria has been explored deeply by martial arts practitioners in Asia for over a thousand years and its efficacy is very well established. In fact, the literal name of the herb in Chinese is “Mender of Shattered Bones.” Drynaria is usually used in combination with Dipsacus and other herbs to deal with the specific problems. Drynaria can be used like all Yang Jing tonics to strengthen the lower back and knees. It seems to have special efficacy in a high percentage of cases of tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and bleeding gums. Though it is traditionally considered to be effective for toothaches, I recommend you get to the dentist and get the problem fixed.    Dipsacus Root   Dipsacus Root tonifies Kidney and Liver, helps repair bones and ligaments, and opens the blood vessels. This Kidney tonic is primarily used to strengthen the skeletal structure.  Dipsacus is one of the main herbs used in case  of traumatic injury to the skeleton. It is an excellent herb for repairing structural tissue (bones and ligaments) that have been damaged as a result of trauma. Dipsacus helps relieve the swelling due to structural trauma.  It is the perfect herb for those who have damaged spinal structure and for those who have experienced knee injuries. However, it is useful for any structural tissue damage to hasten repair.  Thus Dipsacus is a premium herb for athletes, dancers and others who have experienced minor or severe structural injuries as a result of their activities.  It can be used preventatively by those who have had previous injuries or by those who are involved in dangerous activities and may wish to do all that they can to fortify the structure of the body. It is equally effective for older people who are experiencing structural difficulties simply due to aging. Dipsacus is usually combined with Eucommia, Drynaria, Dang Gui and sometimes Deer Antler. Dipsacus performs some of the classic Kidney tonic functions as well.  It helps strengthen sexual function and relieves back pain. Dipsacus is a very safe herb and is routinely used during pregnancy in Asia to strengthen the mother’ back and to calm the fetus. Dipsacus also helps improve blood flow by opening up the blood vessels. Therefore it is useful in any condition in which the blood vessels are constricted especially when the constriction results in pain.   Morinda   Morinda is an excellent Yang essence tonic.  It is considered to be highly nutritious and is used in superior tonic formulas for strengthening the body.  It is widely used in primal essence formulations, often as the main ingredient. Morinda is widely believed inChina to increase mental power.  It is also considered to be beneficial to the heart.  And like many other Yang tonic herbs, it has been shown to be effective in treating hypertension (not a function of this formulation). It is one of the finest Yang tonics since it is not only powerful but extremely well tolerated by almost every one. It is a superb athletes herb and ranks among the most important vitalizing herbs of the tonic system. It is likewise considered a major longevity herb and is a regular ingredient in Taoist formulations.   Adjunctive Herbs   Dragon Bone is the fossilized (mineralized) bones of prehistoric animals such as mastodon, hairy rhinoceros, hipparion, deer, oxen, etc. This is of course not an animal product. It is a mineral product. It provides a rich source of minerals useful to structural tissue. Furthermore, Dragon Bone has an "astringent" action. Detoxified Oyster Shell is ground into a fine powder and is used as an excellent source of minerals. It, like Dragon Bone, has astringent action and strengths bone. Bupleurum Root improves liver function. White Peony Root is a blood tonic. Licorice Root tonifies Qi and Kidney. It influences the hormones of the adrenals, which have a direct and profound influence on bone integrity.   How Eucommia Helps Maintain Strong Bones   Bone Is Remarkably Active Metabolically   Bone is a quintessentially important living tissue in the human body. Bone matrix functions as a reservoir of essential ions such as calcium, phosphate, magnesium and sodium. About 70% of the bone matrix is made of inorganic salts, principally salts of calcium and phosphate. 99% of the calcium in the body is stored in the bones. The enormous compressional strength of bone is derived from crystals formed from these salts.   Despite its apparent inanimate nature, bone is remarkably active metabolically. Old or damaged bone is constantly resorbed (dissolved) and replaced with newly generated bone. This continuous breaking down and rebuilding is called the bone remodeling cycle. In an adult, 3 to 5% of the total skeleton is being actively remodeled at any one time to adjust to the changing environment and physiological demands. More than 5% of a normal healthy adult's bone mass is naturally replaced every year. The equivalent of your entire skeletal mass may be replaced every 10 to 20 years – 12 years being the estimated average. Caption for the running bone man:   The equivalent of your entire skeletal structure may be replaced every 12 years. Coincidentally, the Chinese zodiac has a 12 year cycle. The year of your own zodiac sign is called your Ben Ming Nian, or “year of original life”. This year marks a milestone in your life’s journey. It is suggested that you exercise caution this year as you will experience some major changes, good or bad, in your life. However, it is an auspicious year in which you can grow by quantum leaps, so you may have an opportunity to play your best hand in this year.   Could it be that 12 is a magic number? Bone’s metabolic cycle is 12 years. Bone is considered to be the least active part of our body, and yet, every 12 years, we get a whole new set of bones. Life is a living cycle that requires constant changes and maintenance. Make sure you are doing something positive about your bone heath every day. Personal growth does not get more skeletal than this.    Insert a clock with the 12 signs as the hour sign. Somewhat symbolizes the biological clock. I still have to work on the wording a little.   Yet despite these changes in bone form and size, the ionic concentrations in cells and in blood remain constant. The regulation of these ionic balances is largely dependent upon hormones. Maintaining a precise level of calcium within your blood is essential to survival. Too little or too much calcium will make the heart unable to beat. The release and uptake of calcium is controlled by regulatory hormones. The bones act as a reservoir for this essential mineral.   As much as one fourth of bone phosphate may be replaced by new phosphate within two months! This turnover rate is even more rapid, of course, in actively growing children.   Inorganic crystals give bone its compressional strength, but the organic matrix, which makes up the remaining 30% of bone matrix, provides its tensile strength. Collagen is the major structural protein in human bone. 90% of the organic matrix is formed by collagen fibers. The collagen fibers are surrounded by a substance containing chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acids, various proteins and mucopolysaccharides (see Deer Placenta, page……).   The combined tensile strength of the organic matrix and the compressional strength provided by the inorganic hydroxyapatite crystals give bone a strength that is comparable to that of reinforced concrete.   Women are more prone to bone loss as they get older than men. Bone resorption may begin to outpace bone formation after approximately age 30 in women. Nearly 50% of American women in their 30s and 40s are at risk for osteoporosis, a condition that occurs when bone becomes too weak. At menopause, when the ovaries stop functioning, the withdrawal of estrogen causes a loss of calcium from the bone matrix with a consequent loss of bone strength. The remodeling of bone, even in old age, continues as a balance between bone formation and bone resorption. For most women, bone health must be supported by conscious eating and supplementation.   Nearly 50% of American women in their 30s and 40s are at risk for osteoporosis, a condition that occurs when bone becomes too weak.   Bone formation remains normal in postmenopausal women, but the accelerated bone resorption weakens the bones by decreasing their mass. Generally, bone resorption in postmenopausal women significantly exceeds formation. The activity of the osteoblasts cannot keep up with the activity of the osteoclasts. As a result, women begin to lose bone more rapidly. If the bone loss is severe, they are at increased risk for developing osteoporosis and for suffering fractures caused by even relatively mild trauma, such as tripping. Men do not lose bone nearly as rapidly as women because men continue to secrete testosterone as they age, though in diminished amounts. If men consume certain herbs, such as Tongkat Ali, Deer Antler and Tribulus, and boost the activity of these herbs by taking them with the alcohol extract of Eucommia (Eucommia Drops) they may improve their testosterone producing ability and testosterone profile even as they age.    Bone matrix: 70% inorganic -- salts of calcium and phosphate -- Compressional strength 30% organic --mostly collagen fibers -- Tensile strength (the strength to handle stretch without breaking)   There are three types of cells that maintain the skeleton: osteoblasts, osteoclasts and osteocytes.   Osteoblasts: A blood cell that produces bone tissue. It does so by moving along the surface of bone, producing a matrix that then forms bone. Osteoblasts are always present in the body and are constantly active in repairing and rebuilding bone. Osteoblasts are involved in the regulation of calcium and phosphorus exchange and deposition. Osteoblasts have many fine filaments that enter bone through numerous microscopic canals and extend through the bone matrix. In this way the osteoblasts transport calcium to the bone matrix from the blood.    Osteoclasts: A special type of white blood cell that nibbles at and breaks down bone and is responsible for bone resorption. Osteoclasts are very large multinucleate cells similar to macrophages (phagocytes). They specialize in consuming bone tissue. They are filled with lysosomes, which are microscopic vacuoles that contain the enzymes that digest the organic matrix of bone. Acids (such as lactic acid) secreted by the osteoclasts are responsible for the dissolution of the bone crystals. Like osteoblasts, osteoclasts have fine filaments that penetrate the bone surface and tunnel into the bone matrix, where they destroy old collagen and the bone’s mineral salts.   Osteocytes: During the process of building bone, some of the osteoblasts are trapped or “imprisoned” by the newly formed bone matrix that they are building. Osteocytes live for a long time within the bone, and remain quite functional, but in a different way. They communicate with the blood stream by means of fine filaments. The exact function of osteocytes is still being studied, but they appear to be acting as sensors, communicating information on the state of the bone to the other cells. They are believed to play a profound role in regulating the building and resorption of bone.    The Yin and Yang of Bone Maintenance   In normal bone, bone formation and bone resorption – opposing functions typical of the yin and yang activity that defines all life functions – are closely coupled processes involved in the normal remodeling of bone. Normally, these processes are regulated in such a way that normal growth can take place and bone structure can be properly maintained in adults. If this balance goes awry, an “illness” will develop. In osteoporosis, for example, the net rate of bone resorption exceeds the rate of bone formation, resulting in a decrease in bone mass without a defect in bone mineralization. In women, osteoclast activity is increased because of decreased estrogen after menopause. Men with prematurely decreased testosterone may also have increased osteoclast activity. These changes result in a net loss of bone. The amount of bone available for mechanical support of the skeleton eventually falls below the fracture threshold and one may suffer fractures.   Osteoblasts and osteoclasts work in harmony to maintain a healthy bone structure, and osteocytes are the sensors that maintain that harmony. In the bone-building process, the functions of osteoblasts and osteoclasts are intimately intertwined, with each cell releasing chemicals that influence the other. Osteoblasts resorb bone in front of the osteoclasts. As the bone is resorbed, the osteoclasts release signaling molecules called cytokines that attract osteoblasts and encourage them to start laying down new bone. The osteoblasts then incorporate small proteins into the bone matrix that they create. This harmonious functioning results in smooth bone formation.   Why does the body spend so much energy on bone remodeling? The primary reason is so that the bone can adapt to different stresses that are placed on it, especially thickening it in areas that are under great load. The second reason for remodeling is so that the bone is able to resist fatigue stress. Repetitive stress on any structure will cause it to fail. Through perpetual remodeling, the bone is able to repair small microscopic fractures before they develop into major fractures. A third reason is that the process allows for the ready transfer of calcium into the blood stream when needed for other functions. A fourth reason is that young bone protects the deep inner functions of bone best, that is, the functions associated with bone marrow production and its networking with the bloodstream.   Eucommia’s Effect on Bone   Eucommia Bark, Seed and Leaf has been used since before the time of Shen Nong, well over two thousand years ago, to strengthen bones and to heal fractures. Scientists now are gaining understanding of the action of Eucommia in this regard.   Alcohol (methanol) and aqueous (water) extracts of Eucommia bark were tested for their therapeutic efficacy on osteoporosis. The results showed that Eucommia bark has powerful activity with regard to regulating bone remodeling. The components of Eucommia bark are thought to participate in each step of a mechanism for activating osteoblasts to facilitate osteogenesis (bone building), and suppress osteoclast activity sufficiently to inhibit osteolysis (the excessively active resorption or dissolution of bone).    The hormone tonic effects of Eucommia may play a significant role in its bone strengthening functions. Human Growth Hormone is known to play a role in bone growth. Insulin plays a role, in concert with HGH in building bone, and Eucommia has been shown to mitigate type 2 diabetes in rats, indicating that it may have an ability to affect insulin. And Eucommia has androgenic actions that influences bone structure through multiple pathways. Testosterone spurs bone growth and calcium deposition, thickening and strengthening the bones.   Traditionally, Eucommia bark is used as a tonic to the skeleton. The apparent ability of Eucommia bark to stimulate bone growth and to mitigate excessive bone loss apparently supports this usage of Eucommia as a bone tonic.   Tips for Good Bone Health   The proper diet plays a major role. We should eat foods and consume tonic herbs rich in calcium, magnesium, zinc and other minerals, and take a mineral supplement if necessary. Limiting or restricting the consumption of carbonated soft drinks, caffeine, sugar and table salt reduces calcium excretion and therefore lead to stronger bones. Weight bearing exercise also strengthens healthy bone, though this must be carefully monitored in the cases where bone has already weakened significantly.   There is growing evidence that exposure to microwaves increases demineralization of our bone. The significance of this is not yet fully defined, but health care professionals are growing increasingly concerned about the amount of microwave exposure most of us experience in the modern world. It is best to limit exposure to microwaves.   Pearl provides calcium, magnesium and manganese that are very important in the formation of bones. Pearl has been widely used inAsia as a natural calcium supplement and a beauty tonic. The only “side effect” of Pearl is that it adds a beautiful lust to the skin. We will feature Pearl in the product section to complete a bone health program. Draw information from the Pearl article written long while ago.   Indeed, our daily activities impact our bone health everyday. Bone health is something that can be under our control and is closely connected to our biological aging. Early bone degeneration is a sign of premature aging. Hence tonic maintenance can be extremely important in not just our bone health, but in our total body health.   Traditional Function: Tonifies Yang, fortifies the Kidneys   Who can use it? Those who wish to strengthen the skeletal structure   Concentration: 8:1    Specifications: 100 Capsules 500 mg each   Ingredients: Eucommia seed, Dipsacus asper root, Drynaria rhizome, Eucommia bark, Morinda root, Bupleurum root, Dragon bone, Oyster shell, Chinese White Peony root, Chinese Licorice root   Other Ingredients: Vegetarian capsules (Pullulan caps 100% natural, water-soluble polysaccharide produced through a fermentation process; vegetable origin; non-GMO; no starch, preservative or chemical modifications; gluten free.), rice powder.      Usage: Take 3 capsules, 2 times per day or as directed by a healthcare professional   Remember Ron Teeguarden’s “First Rule of Tonic Herbalism,” summed up in a single word –Compliance.

K2MK7 is a highly bioavailable form of vitamin K2 that has a wide range of benefits for your health. This nutrient plays a critical role in regulating calcium and directing it to the right places in your body, such as your bones and teeth. By promoting healthy calcium absorption, K2MK7 helps protect you from vascular calcification, arterial disease, and major cardiac events. It also helps increase bone mineral density, decrease fracture rates, and fight off bone disease. K2MK7 even regulates vitamin D, ensuring that your body is absorbing calcium effectively and directing it to the right places. Unlike other forms of vitamin K2, K2MK7 is highly bioavailable and easily absorbed by your body.
