About: Developed by William Davis, MD. Author of "Wheat Belly" and "Super Gut". Lactobacillus reuteri supports GI health, bowel function and immune function* Can be used to make William Davis, MD. Superfood L. reuteri yogurt/cultured dairy. MyReuteri 10 billion standard dosage is suitable as a daily probiotic or for use to make cultured dairy. MyReuteri 20 billion is ideal for those seeking a higher-potency dosage, and can also be used to make cultured dairy. MyReuteri Formulation Based on the science of the Gut-Skin Axis, doctor-developed MyReuteri is formulated with LRDR L. Reuteri and FOS. Lactobacillus reuteri LRDR™  Our proprietary LRDR™ strain of Lactobacillus reuteri provides an important microbe that the great majority are missing in their gut. This microbe not only resides in the colon but also the upper GI tract. Daily incorporation of L. reuteri LRDR™  helps you support gut health and gut balance.* FOS (Fructooligosaccharides) MyReuteri includes the prebiotic fiber FOS which serves as food for the Lactobacillus reuteri microbes.  The FOS in MyReuteri supports L. Reuteri cultured daily fermentation (aka “L. reuteri yogurt”) for home yogurt-making.

MyReuteri contains high counts of the important gastrointestinal microbe, Lactobacillus reuteri, that Dr. Davis has been talking about, making yogurt with, and studying in humans and animals. Because L. reuteri, as well as many other bacterial species, is susceptible to common antibiotics, many have lost this microbe and thereby all of its potential benefits. MyReuteri is our way of restoring this important microbe. Does MyReuteri have to be refrigerated? While it does not hurt to refrigerate MyReuteri, there is no need to. It is helpful, however, to store in a relatively cool area out of direct sunlight and, of course, with the cap on, as want the microbes to avoid exposure to moisture. My product arrived hot. Is the probiotic still good? The probiotic strains in MyReuteri can start to die off around 110°F (43°C). MyReuteri is stored at room temperature. So even if you received the product warm, it is still good. Should I take MyReuteri with food or without food? And any specific time of day? MyReuteri can be taken with food or without, as it does not impact significantly on the number of surviving microbes. The only precaution to take is to not consume theprobiotic capsules of MyReuteri while sipping or eating a food that is very hot, e.g.,coffee, tea, hot soups, as the heat can kill the microbes and may reduce potentialbenefits. Also, the only issue with time of day is that some people feel a little sleepy if taken early in the day. If this happens to you, simply shift the time you take MyReuteri to evening or bedtime. Why are there such high numbers of microbes in MyReuteri? Oxiceutics experience has been that, in general, greater numbers of microbes with probiotic properties provide greater effects than smaller numbers. After all, the human gastrointestinal microbiome numbers around 100 trillion. It may reasonably therefore require tens to hundreds of billions to generate meaningful effects. Because of the effort and expense of generating such “dose-response” observations, the understanding of this phenomenon in the microbiome science world is limited. Until we gain a better understanding, we include counts of microbes that we believe yield significant benefits. Why do we need to add inulin in making MyReuteri yogurt? Inulin, a prebiotic fiber in common foods, supports Lactobacillus reuteri in lactose digestion. If you have a reaction to inulin yogurt, consult your doctor. Can I take MyReuteri in combination with other nutritional supplements? Yes, but with some exceptions. Because MyReuteri is a living microbe, we avoid taking it with anything that has antibiotic effects. This includes any supplement containing iodine, any supplement you may be taking to manage intestinal dysbiosis, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), or fungal overgrowth. This includes supplements such as berberine, curcumin (turmeric), and essential oils taken orally. Other supplements such as vitamin D, fish oil, magnesium and many others are perfectly compatible. Is it safe to take MyReuteri with other probiotics? Yes, it is perfectly safe to combine MyReuteri with other probiotics including with Gut to Glow. I am experiencing some nausea and stomach upset with MyReuteri. What doesthis mean and should I stop taking it? This is a common experience with any probiotic and is due to antagonistic effects that L.reuteri and other probiotic species introduce against unhealthy microbes in thegastrointestinal tract. One way to deal with this is to reduce the dose, e.g., reduce from two capsules per day to one capsule per day or even one capsule every-other-day. You can also take your dose with food to disperse the bacteria. Should you continue to experience difficulty, consult your doctor but ask specifically about the possibility that you have small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, SIBO, i.e., unhealthy bacterial species that have colonized your stomach and small intestine. When a beneficial microbe such as L. reuteri is introduced, unhealthy bacterial species begin to die and this can yield some unpleasant effects. Your doctor may have additional steps you can take that can help you better tolerate MyReuteri, as well as other probiotics and fermented foods, once this phenomenon is addressed. Should I anticipate side-effects from taking MyReuteri? Beyond the nausea, bloating, and diarrhea that can occur when initiating any probiotic, we know of no side effects of supplementing MyReuteri. You may have heard Dr. Davis say that nearly all hunter-gatherer humans and mammals have this microbe–it’s most modern humans that have lost this microbe and thereby its potential benefits. Restoring factors that should have been part of the human experience all along is therefore typically not associated with adverse effects. Why have modern people lost L. reuteri, the microbial species contained inMyReuteri? Modern people have been overexposed to antibiotics such as amoxicillin, cefazolin, and gentamicin. L. reuteri, the microbial species contained in MyReuteri, is very susceptible to common antibiotics and has therefore been eradicated from the gastrointestinal microbiomes of most people. There may be other factors that contribute to its disappearance such as herbicide and pesticide residues in food, food additives with antimicrobial properties such as food preservatives and emulsifying (mixing) agents, and various pharmaceuticals. Even German microbiologist, Dr. Gerhard Reuter, who initially discovered this microbe in the breastmilk of a breastfeeding mother in 1962 made the observation over his subsequent 40-year academic career, that it became harder and harder to recover this organism from breastmilk, stool, and other body locations over this time period. More recent analyses have corroborated Dr. Reuter’s observation: L. reuteri has been lost by many people. Why do you recommend that we not take MyReuteri during pregnancy? MyReuteri provides the microbe, L. reuteri, at relatively high counts, as does Gut toGlow. While all mammals, including humans, are meant to have this beneficial microbe as part of their gastrointestinal microbiome, we do not know if the high counts provided by these products (or as the yogurt that you ferment from these products) is safe in the setting of pregnancy. Recall that women can be given oxytocin intravenously to provoke uterine contraction at term pregnancy, causing the baby to be delivered. (L. reuteri has been shown in animal studies to increase oxytocin.) We therefore do not know if it is safe to consume higher intakes of L. reuteri in pregnant females. Can I make “yogurt” with MyReuteri? Yes, absolutely. You can use the microbes in MyReuteri as a starter for yogurt making.  Of course, it is not really yogurt in the conventional sense, but a fermented dairy product that looks and smells like yogurt. In our analyses of the yogurts made from MyReuteri, we obtain approximately 300 billion CFUs (microbial counts) per ½-cup serving. Yogurt made from MyReuteri will be more sour than conventional yogurt because the extended fermentation method we use to achieve high bacterial counts also converts nearly all the lactose to lactic acid, accounting for the acidic or sour flavor. Feel free to add blueberries, strawberries, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, and healthy non-caloric sweeteners such as monk fruit, allulose, or stevia to soften the sourness. Why does the powder in the MyReuteri capsule sometimes appear clumpy and is it still okay?  In some instances, excessive humidity can cause the powder inside the capsule to clump together, however, formulation remains viable and effective.  If using to make yogurt, use a spoon to gently break up the powder before mixing.  Be sure to keep the bottle tightly closed and keep the desiccant moisture-absorbing pack in the bottle, and store in a cool dry place or refrigerator.   Why choose MyReuteri 10 billion standard dosage?  MyReuteri 10 billion standard dosage is suitable as a daily probiotic or for use to make cultured dairy.   Why do some people prefer MyReuteri 20 billion double-strength?   MyReuteri 20 billion is ideal for those seeking a higher-potency dosage, and can also be used to make cultured dairy.   How does MyReuteri 10 billion compare to other L. reuteri products?  Only MyReuteri is the authentic L. Reuteri by Dr. Davis and designed for use as both an oral probiotic and for use as a starter culture.  Because it is made in the USA, MyReuteri avoids the temperature variations and carbon foodprint of ocean shipping.  Is MyReuteri 20 billion a good value at $60?    MyReuteri 20 billion provides 50% additional LRDR L. reuteri for only 25% more cost, an excellent value on a per CFU basis.  Why does MyReuteri include magnesium stearate?  Safe and widely used in supplements, medicines and foods, a small amount of magnesium stearate is included to facilitate consistency in the production process.

Nattovena is the world’s first ultra-concentrated 4,000 FU pure nattokinase dietary supplement, in easy-to-swallow micro-caps. Nattovena contains ultra-refined, pharmaceutical grade, acid stable nattokinase. Nattovena's potency is unparalleled in its class. The standard for nattokinase manufacturing is a potency of up to 2,000 FU’s, or fibrinolytic units, of fibrin degrading activity per capsule. Nattovéna has broken the mold by providing 4,000 FU’s of activity, or double the ordinary dose, offering the strongest nattokinase activity per capsule, period. Nattovena is specifically formulated to address fibrin imbalances in the body. Fibrin is a protein that plays a major role in blood clotting and scar formation, making it an essential component of the healing process and vital for maintaining our health and general well-being. However, fibrin overproduction and impaired fibrin degradation has been implicated in many of today’s most common circulatory health concerns. What is Nattokinase? Nattokinase is a fibrinolytic (fibrin-dissolving) enzyme originally discovered within a Japanese fermented soybean food called natto. The dish consists of soybeans fermented with a strain of Bacillus subtilis bacteria that in turn produce the enzyme, which upon its discovery was later named after the respective dish. The fermented dish, natto, has a slimy texture, sour taste and strong smell that is very unappealing to some. Despite its questionable taste, natto has been shown in numerous studies to have many health benefits. For its use in nutritional supplements, the nattokinase enzyme is extracted and purified in a laboratory setting. Nattovena provides twice the potency of ordinary nattokinase products available and is naturally acid stable in the stomach since it is derived from a food source. This gives Nattovena the added benefit of not having to use an enteric coating or plastic to protect it from stomach acid. Nattovena’s formula contains the highest Fibrinolytic Unit (FU) activity among the major brands of nattokinase supplements, allowing it to hydrolyze 4,000 units of fibrin per capsule, thereby optimizing its cardiovascular benefits and promoting normal blood viscosity. How Does Nattokinase Work? Fibrin is naturally produced in the body by a protein called thrombin and is degraded by the body's own fibrinolytic enzyme, plasmin. Fibrin is typically produced during the recovery and healing processes caused by injury or other health concerns. Usually, these processes exist in a delicate balance; however, many conditions can impair fibrin degradation and lead to excessive levels of fibrin within the body. Nattokinase supplementation can tip the balance back in favor of fibrin removal using two different mechanisms. Firstly, nattokinase is a fibrinolytic enzyme, which means that it can literally dissolve excessive fibrin produced during the healing process. In fact, studies show that nattokinase is actually four times (4x) more potent than the body’s own plasmin in terms of fibrinolytic activity1. Secondly, nattokinase blocks the activity of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), which boosts its fibrinolytic capabilities even more. High levels of PAI-1 are directly linked to impaired fibrin degradation and removal, since PAI-1 blocks the body’s natural production of plasmin. By impeding PAI-1, nattokinase promotes the creation of more plasmin from plasminogen (its building block), increasing the amount of natural fibrinolytic enzymes created within the body2. Suggested Use Suggested Use: Take 1 capsule 2 to 3 times daily on an empty stomach. Higher doses may be taken as needed, but it is recommended to not exceed 15 capsules in any 24-hour period unless otherwise directed by a healthcare practitioner. WARNING: Do not take this product without the consent of your physician if you are currently taking blood thinning medications or if you are pregnant or nursing. Frequently Asked Questions What does Nattovena do? Studies have demonstrated that nattokinase improves overall circulation, promotes healthy blood viscosity, promotes healthy clotting factors, keeps blood cells from sticking together, and maintains blood pressure levels already within normal range.* How does it work? Nattovena supports normal clot formation by maintaining normal levels of blood coagulation factors.* It also supports normal clot breakdown by maintaining normal fibrinolytic (clot-dissolving) activity, due to its ability to also increase the production of the body's inherent fibrinolytic enzyme plasmin.* Why is fibrinolytic activity important? Fibrin is a vital protein that forms in response to trauma, injury, or even in cases of autoimmune conditions. The body can not only overproduce fibrin in these instances, but can also produce fibrin when there is no trauma or injury, which can lead to a bevy of unwanted symptoms. Fibrinolytic activity is the body’s natural way of breaking up excessive fibrin and unwanted clots. Is Nattovena safe? Nattokinase is derived from natto, which has been a regular food staple within Asian cuisine for centuries. Although nattokinase has many benefits, studies have shown that it also does not have demonstrative side effects, and the ingredient is considered GRAS (generally recognized as safe) within the US. Does Nattovena have value beyond just heart health? Due to the vast array of unhealthy conditions that excessive fibrin can bring, Nattovena has far greater value than a simple cardiovascular support product. Many aspects of health, from muscle recovery, to immune and joint health are directly related to fibrin and blood viscosity.* Is Nattovena safe to use in combination with prescription blood-thinning drug medication? You should always check with your health care provider prior to taking any new dietary supplements in combination with a prescription. However, Nattovena does not contain any vitamin K, so it is assumed to be compatible with these medications since their mode of action is based on inhibiting vitamin K. Nattovena is not contraindicated with aspirin, natural supplements, or antihypertensive medications although medical supervision when implementing any new supplement regimen is always recommended.

— 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.* 1  —  NOURISH YOUR WAY TO HEALTH & HAPPINESS WITH GRASS FED BEEF LUNG * 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 lifestyle and nutritional needs in order to support and sustain a vibrant, disease-free life. We are now part of a world where bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma and other upper respiratory conditions run amok. This product has been brought to market to help with conditions related to lungs as well as arteriovascular support (vascular malfunctions, varicose and spider veins, etc). I believe that the ultimate solution is a return to ancestral living (see About Us page).  WE EVOLVED EATING LIVER AND LUNGS... Almost every anthropologist knows that animals in the wild instinctively go for the liver, lungs and the bone marrow first... these are the fundamental foods that provide the deepest nourishment in nature. It turns out, our early hominid ancestors also preferentially favored these parts. There are few historical facts about the origin of lung dishes. Some argue that the delicacy stems from ancient times after a hunt, when easily perishable parts of an animal were eaten instantly. Others claim that its origins go as far back to the Ancient Romans or even before at around the eighth century BC, as a lung recipe was alluded to in Book 20 of Homer’s Odyssey. 2  Samuel Hearne, a fur-trader and explorer writing in 1768, describes the preparation of caribou: “Of all the dishes cooked by the Indians, a beeatee, as it is called in their language, is certainly the most delicious that can be prepared from caribou only, without any other ingredient. It is a kind of haggis, made with the blood, a good quantity of fat shred, some of the tenderest of the flesh, together with the heart and lungs cut, or more commonly torn, into small slivers; all of which is put into the stomach and toasted by being suspended before the fire on a string. . . . it is certainly a most delicious morsel, even without pepper, salt or any other seasoning.” 3 Regardless of how it all began, it's clear that we evolved eating this stuff. Even Beverly Hungry Wolf describes the preparation and consumption of a cow in The Ways of My Grandmothers, noting that her grandmother prepared the cow “as she had learned to prepare wild buffalo when she was young.” If not immediately devoured, the lungs were sliced and hung up to dry. They would later be used in soups and stews. LUNGS While the heart represents an excellent source of large vessel tissue, the lung features a unique, remarkable density of widely differentiated blood vessels. The lung contains arteries, capillaries and veins in the approximate proportions that they exist throughout the body. Moreover, these tissues encompass the widely varied anatomy and physiology of the systemic circulatory system, including thickness, elasticity, muscularity and functions. Lung appears to be natures all-natural lung, respiratory and arteriovascular supplement. 4 Lung is also a source of lung-specific building blocks, peptides and enzymes. Lung tissue has historically been used by those with respiratory disorders (such as bronchitis, asthma, chronic coughs, chest colds), convalescent stages (of pneumonia, colds, flu), and pulmonary involvements (including accidents, industrial fumes and dust inhalation).* 5,6 Whole food, nutrient dense organs and glands 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 Beef Lung (w/ Liver) is a whole food and dietary supplement that provides pure bovine lung and liver with arteriovascular and lung-specific building blocks, peptides and enzymes to nourish and support one's own circulatory and respiratory health.* 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 ONE SMALL BATCH AT A TIME New Zealand — Our product is 100% sourced in New Zealand.

BENEFITS OF GRASS FED LUNG AND LIVER 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 nourish urinary ailments, boost vitality and support overall kidney health... Pancreas was fed to people with digestive and endocrine problems... spleen was fed to people with immune and blood deficiencies...1 lung tissue has historically been used by those with respiratory conditions (such as bronchitis, asthma, chronic coughs, chest colds and pneumonia).* 5,6  Modern day functional practitioners use lung glandular to support lung conditions as well as to support arteriovascular conditions related to arteriovascular support (vascular malfunctions, varicose and spider veins, etc) 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 LUNG & 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.*   ANCESTRAL 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. — Based on the ancient ancestral wisdom that "like supports like."

Lung appears to be natures all-natural lung, respiratory and arteriovascular supplement. 4 SUGGESTED USE (1 CAPSULE W/ EACH MEAL) Our Grass Fed Lung (w/ Liver) is a whole food dietary supplement that provides 100% pure bovine lung with 100% pure bovine liver. This supplement should be taken with food. The suggested use is 1 capsule with each meal or as directed by a healthcare professional — for added support, the dose can be doubled. If consuming more than six capsules at once, the doses should be separated by at least three hours. 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 more than the full suggested serving size of 1 capsule with each meal. 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 a day and increasing by just 1 capsule every couple of days — this method may take a full two weeks to achieve the desired serving size of 1 capsule with each meal (or) 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 a day during the 1st week... 2 capsules a day during the 2nd week, and 3 capsules a day (1 with each meal) during the 3rd week. 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. COUGH REFLEX As we age, our respiratory function diminishes with each passing year... we lose elasticity and we have a less robust cough reflex to expel particulate debris (e.g. infectious agents, pollutants, irritants, etc), which in part, contributes to respiratory tract infections. Our functional healthcare practitioner accounts commonly report a stronger, more frequent and more robust cough reflex in the initial weeks of commencing our Lung glandular. In this instance, coughing and/or detox reactions are generally an indication that the ciliary escalator is being nourished and now has new-found opportunity to release an even greater than normal quantity of particulate debris, including pollutants, stored toxins, metabolic waste, pathogens and other unwanted material. A notable improvement in cough reflex (more frequent and stronger coughing) can sometimes be observed as early as the first dose. While this is generally considered a side benefit for most, it may pose as a nuisance for others. This can usually be remediated by decreasing the dosage to just 1/2 capsule per day (w/ a meal).  ROAD TO RECOVERY [ANCESTRAL LIVING] Lung function tends to peak around the age of 30, after which it starts to decline. The rate of decline varies depending on factors such as smoking, movement/ exercise, exposure to indoor and outdoor pollutants and diet. Anthocyanins, a type of flavonoid, have been shown to improve symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and help slow the gradual decline in lung health associated with aging. Recent research shows those in the highest quartile of anthocyanin intake, compared to those in the lowest quartile, had a significantly reduced annual decline in lung function measurements over time. Anthocyanins are found in red-blue plant pigments that give berries and other foods their red, blue and purple color. See list below... Eat Like Our Early Ancestors Did - Think root cause. Many people resolve upper respiratory, lung, circulatory and arteriovascular issues simply by eating a ketogenic / paleo / primalish diet that's also rich in anthocyanins... see example below.  Remove Inflammatory Foods - Gluten's out... processed foods, and sugars are out... this can substantially improve everything. Sleep Like Our Early Ancestors Did - On the hierarchy of health, sleep trumps almost everything else... see our "About Us" page for more on this. Move Like Our Early Ancestors Did - Start walking more... 20 - 30 minutes in the AM, 20 - 30 minutes after lunch, 20 - 30 minutes after dinner. DO GO PALEO / PRIMAL / KETOGENIC W/ Anthocyanins For serious chronic and recurrent upper respiratory, lung, circulatory and arteriovascular issues, a high fat, moderate protein, lowish-carb ketogenic / paleo / primal diet can be remarkably therapeutic (see below). Ketosis is a high healthy fat (75%), moderate protein (20%), low carbohydrate (5%) way of eating. Have a look at what my tribe and I eat... our first meal is downright delicious and our second meal is way better than any restaurant food. For those that need comprehensive lung support, consider adding a handful of anthocyanins (strawberries, cherries, red cabbage, cranberries, plums, raspberries, blueberries, black currants, purple grapes, purple potatoes) with each meal. Don't worry, you'll still be paleo / primal and pretty darn close to keto.  FOR THE MOST UP-TO-DATE PRIMAL / KETOGENIC / CARNIVORE WAYS THAT I FOLLOW, GO TO THE ABOUT US PAGE HERE.  OUR TYPICAL 1ST MEAL IS A DELICIOUS SHAKE AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS... Wallaby Organic / Grass fed yogurt (2 cups or 150g)  NOW Brand MCT oil (1-2 tablespoons; up to 30g- dose to tolerability). NOTE: MCT always produces elevated ketones. Organic raw virgin coconut oil or organic ghee (2 to 3 tablespoons or 30 to 45g) Organic almond butter (2 tablespoons or 30g) Organic unrefined red palm oil (1 tablespoon or 15g) Grassfed Ancestral Collagen / Gelatin (10-20g)  Himalayan sea salt -- 1/4 tsp (2 to 3g)  Organic cinnamon -- 2g Organic instant coffee -- 2g (only when seeking variety) Organic / Grassfed vanilla protein powder (1 scoop) — I like Bluebonnet Grassfed Protein Organic banana (optional when not doing strict keto or if sleep if affected by too low carb consumption) Organic / Pasture raised raw eggs (4 to 6 large eggs) Organic raw pastured-raised milk (1 cup or 150g)... raw is best but Whole Kalona Brand Milk is a good second option if you don't do raw milk. If you don't tolerate milk, find an alternative.  Handful of anthocyanins: strawberries, cherries, red cabbage, cranberries, plums, raspberries, blueberries, black currants, purple grapes, purple potatoes This shake takes me a whopping 15 minutes to make... It's super convenient... and, it's down right delicious. If I don't make a shake, I will have a bunch of pasture-raised eggs (8 or so) that are smothered in a massive amount of butter topped with crunchy sea salt, a side of avocado, nitrate-free, sugar-free bacon and a dollop of homemade sour cream. Are you kidding me... don't even try to tell me that your current breakfast is better in taste nor in health.  OUR TYPICAL SECOND MEAL IS MOSTLY COOKED... IT'S HOT... IT'S BETTER THAN ANY RESTAURANT FOOD... IT LOOKS LIKE THIS... Homemade Bone Soup (simmered for two to three days with tons of marrow) Serving or Kimchi Organic Avocado (optional: top with fish eggs, lemon juice and sea salt) Grass fed butter or Ghee (2 tablespoons) Salad of dark leafy greens (when in season) w/ 2 tablespoons of organic, fresh pressed olive oil and sea salt (I get mine from Apollo Olive Oil) Grass fed organs (6 - 9 oz of various animals, various organs) Organic almond butter (2 tablespoons) mixed with organic raw coconut oil (2 tablespoons) Organic banana with raw local honey (optional: when not doing strict keto or if sleep or gut if affected by too low carb consumption) 100% Cacao block for dessert Handful of anthocyanins: strawberries, cherries, red cabbage, cranberries, plums, raspberries, blueberries, black currants, purple grapes, purple potatoes We generally carb reload on the weekends with plenty of sweet potatoes, raw local honey, the occasional sorghum and various in-season fruits. We also do a twenty-four to thirty hour fast on Sundays... it's not as bad as it sounds. We eat an early dinner as we normally would on early Saturday evening... skip our first meal on Sunday, and eat an amazing fish-based dinner (usually wild caught sardines with wild caught fish eggs) with the entire tribe on Sunday. Once a quarter, we do a 5-day water only fast (adults only). SUPPLEMENTS THAT YOU SHOULD TAKE FOR FUNDAMENTAL SUPPORT Grass Fed Organs Grass Fed Bone Marrow Magnesium... transdermal magnesium oil applied to feet before bed and oral magnesium Vitamin D3 - only when not able to get adequate sun exposure (nor) fish eggs Vitamin K2 - only when not regularly eating my fermented veggies, sauerkraut, kimchi or natto  UVEX Glasses - sleep is everything! SUPPLEMENTS THAT YOU SHOULD TAKE FOR TARGETED SUPPORT Grass Fed Lung (w/ Liver) Grass Fed Thymus - immune booster Honorable Mentions For Targeted Support - Spleen for allergies, Kidney for food born histamine intolerance, Bovine Tracheal Cartilage for recurrent and chronic conditions that seem otherwise treatment resistant. Keep in mind that my tribe and I eat a very nutrient dense diet. We consume the whole animal just as our ancestors did... That's right, we eat the liver, kidney, pancreas, spleen, heart, thymus, bones, tendons, ligaments and more... and we eat this way every day (except on vacation we take extra Liver, Beef Organs and Bone Marrow supplements). We love our bone broth (this is my wife's specialty), and we eat tons of pastured eggs. Wife is awesome enough to sprout chickpeas for us. Then, she turns half of the batch into the best homemade hummus in the world. Super high in folate (NOT SYNTHETIC FOLIC ACID, big diff)!! You never know, ancestral eating patterns (i.e. cycling back and forth between paleo, ketosis and fasting) could easily be the missing link to the energy, mood, memory and mental performance benefits that we are all after. This is how our early ancestors ate. Start eating like this to build your biological resilience. If you'd like to know exactly how my tribe and I live to support optimal health, go to our "About Us" page and read the entire page.  HIGH QUALITY ORGANS & GLANDS 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 Should Be 100% Freeze Dried... Freeze Drying Preserves Heat Sensitive Biological Activity SUGGESTED SUPPLEMENTS (3) FOR EVERYONE 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, provides stem cells, bovine cartilage, glycosaminoglycans and 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 LUNG (W/ LIVER) SUMMARY Our genome has evolved with the nourishment of nose-to-tail dining since the beginning of time. Grass Fed Lung (w/ Liver) is a whole food and dietary supplement that provides 100% pure bovine lung and 100% pure bovine liver. Lung tissue features a unique, remarkable density of widely differentiated blood vessels. The lung contains arteries, capillaries and veins in the approximate proportions that they exist throughout the body. Moreover, these tissues encompass the widely varied anatomy and physiology of the systemic circulatory system, including thickness, elasticity, muscularity and functions. Lung appears to be natures all-natural lung, respiratory and arteriovascular supplement. Lung is also a source of lung-specific building blocks, peptides and enzymes. Lung tissue has historically been used by those with respiratory disorders (such as bronchitis, asthma, chronic coughs, chest colds), convalescent stages (of pneumonia, colds, flu), and pulmonary involvements (including accidents, industrial fumes and dust inhalation).* 5,6 Grass Fed Lung (w/ Liver) may nourish and support our own lung and arteriovascular and circulatory health.* Not all organs and glands are the same. Look for the highest quality bovine lung and liver... 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" way of life... great love and gratitude goes out to the souls of our animal brethren, such beautiful creatures that were sacrificed so that we could be nourished.

Stem-Kine 60 Capsules (Aiden Products) Stem-Kine is a clinically proven proprietary stem cell supplement that stimulates your body to double the release of circulating stem cells, revitalizing your health, wellness, and regenerative capabilities.1,2 Proven in Human Studies Other supplements have studies on fruit flies or in petri dishes. We have demonstrated Stem-Kine’s potency in human clinical trials, the only way to truly demonstrate whether or not a supplement actually works! The links below take you to the free peer-reviewed journal articles that contain the human research behind Stem-Kine! Clinical Trial #1 Clinical Trial #2 Research on Stem-Kine 1. Circulating endothelial progenitor cells: a new approach to anti-aging medicine? 2. Nutraceutical augmentation of circulating endothelial progenitor cells and hematopoietic stem cells in human subjects How Does Stem-Kine Work? Stem-Kine’s powerful ingredients contain a proprietary, heat-treated extract of Lactobacillus Fermentum and the powerful antioxidants astragalus root, goji berry, and green tea. This cell wall extract gives Stem-Kine its “fertilizer effect” and releases stem cells into the bloodstream & protects those cells from oxidative stress. Supplemental ingredients include beta-1,3-glucan, vitamin D3, and ellagic acid to further protect stem cells from oxidative stress.   Lactobacillus Fermentum Containing patented and patent-pending fermented blends of astragalus root, goji berry, and green tea, our proprietary ingredient nourishes the bone marrow to release more stem cells into the blood stream. Once these stem cells are in circulation, they can hone to sources of injury within the body and begin the repair process.   Beta 1,3 Glucan A natural immune booster, beta glucans have been shown in multiple research studies to trigger a cascade of events that help regulate the immune system, making it stronger and more efficient. Beta glucans are also extremely important for heart health. A recent research study showed that people who ingested more beta glucans, had a significantly greater reduction of total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (LDL).   Ellagic Acid Sourced from nature’s powerful antioxidant, pomegranate, ellagic acid harbors a powerful chemoprotective effect by reducing oxidative stress. This ingredient helps to protect your stem cells from free radicals.   Vitamin D3 For more than a century, scientists have recognized that Vitamin D3 is involved in bone health. Not only that, it is paramount in immune support & low levels of Vitamin D3 are linked to depression, back pain, cancer, impaired immunity, and much more. How to take?   Take 2-4 capsules per day as part of a healthy diet. Can be taken with or without food.   Loading dose = 2 servings AM/PM (4 capsules daily)   Maintenance dose = 1 servings AM (2 capsules daily) Overview: We suggest taking a double dose for the first bottle (4 capsules daily) to optimize the release of stem cells over the first 2-week period of time. Continuing with a maintenance dose of 2 capsules/day will help to nourish these stem cells and protect them from oxidative stress. Responses to Stem-Kine may differ, and some individuals may want to continue taking 4 capsules daily to maintain optimal effects. As with any new supplement, it is advised to consult your physician before using. If you are using any prescription or over-the-counter medicines, are unaware of your current medical condition, or have any pre-existing medical condition(s), consult with your physician before using this product. There are no known side effects from taking Stem-Kine.

NOURISH YOUR WAY TO HEALTH & HAPPINESS WITH GRASS FED PLACENTA * 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 — always grounded... always connected. In the modern world, we unknowingly struggle to fulfill our nutritional needs to support and sustain a vibrant, disease-free life. We are now part of a world where our fertility, hormone, immune, skin, and post partum health is ailing. The solution is to address the root cause with dietary, lifestyle, and behavioral choices while nourishing and supporting our bodies and brains with proven anthropological ways that are backed by modern science... this includes the consumption of Grass Fed Beef Placenta. WE EVOLVED EATING ALL PARTS OF THE ANIMAL  Our ancestors intuitively knew where to find good medicine. They were in constant connection with the animal and plant kingdoms. They were able to deeply understand the transformative cycles of birth, growth, and death through observation and their own inner knowing. They could sense something profoundly rejuvenating within the placenta that would lead even herbivorous animals to consume their own afterbirth. It’s no wonder that our early ancestors were also consuming this nourishing super-organ when they had access to it. Dietary, medicinal, and spiritual uses of both animal and human placenta in prehistoric civilizations was already well established as early as the ancient Egyptians. (1) Hmmm.. considering that these guys invented the pyramids, writing (yeah that's right, they were the first people to develop their language into a codified form of writing), and the calendar, maybe they were onto something. Starting in the 16th century, primitive Comanche mastered abandoned Spanish horses to hunt buffalo. Either by lances, arrows, or driven over a cliff, elite Comanche hunters efficiently took down stampeding buffalo from horseback and ate the best organs themselves. Comanche women did all the skilled labor required to break down, cook, dry, and process every other part of these 800-2000 lb sacred animals. Then they loaded an incredible variety of life-giving products, literally from nose-to-tail, onto 400-lb sleds and hauled them back to camp. As they worked, they chewed on fresh organ meats, including the placenta of fetal buffalo calves. When Comanche and other Great Plains tribes brought home a pregnant heifer buffalo, a special stew was prepared from the fetal calf along with the placenta. It was probably similar to modern Menudo and used the buffalo stomach as a stockpot. We know from our ancestors’ belief that “like supports like,” this nutritious stew would have been potent medicine given to expectant and nursing mothers. As late as the 19th century, when the Bureau of Indian Affairs cataloged all of the ways a Plains Indian woman would use cattle, the fetal calf and placenta stew was cataloged. (2)  “Our Ancestors not only knew the nutritional value of the placenta but they recognized its spiritual value as well… The placenta brings new life into the world and is the active interface of the most biologically intimate connection between two living organisms. Our ancestors believed the placenta represented part of the new child’s soul. Many native people worldwide ritually bury their infant’s placenta to fertilize a new sapling, which acts as a guardian spirit for the child as they grow together. In one of America’s earliest gender-reveal ceremonies, women of the Cheyenne tribe would sew the placenta with medicine herbs into a pouch, shaped like a long-lived turtle for baby girls and a regenerating lizard for boys. The Sioux had a similar practice...they kept this amulet with them their whole lives and it was their most powerful protective charm, often sewn into clothing by their mother. The Arikara tribe hang these navel amulets from the sacred buffaloberry bushes dotting the Dakota’s Great Plains to bless their babies. Natives believed that their placenta was a helpful ancestor or spirit-twin, and they gave the placenta another purpose instead of simply discarding it as a medical waste product. There is now some thought being given to bringing back the widespread ancient custom of ritual placenta disposal and consumption, which has been totally dismissed and disrespected in our modern hospitals. “The Cheyenne said that a child who did not have a navel amulet would always be looking for his or her soul.”  BENEFITS OF GRASS FED PLACENTA  Made up of the fetal membranes, amniotic sack, and umbilicus, the placenta supports the growth of a fertilized egg into a fully-formed infant. A fertilized egg emerges from the fallopian tube as a group of rapidly dividing cells called the embryo. When the embryo reaches the uterine wall several of these cells embed themselves into mother’s tissue. These cells will grow into the placenta, while the cells that remain inside the uterus will become the fetus. (3) Technically, the placenta does not belong to the mother. Her body may create it, but it is part of the developing child... it is made up of 50 percent genetic material from the father. Created from just sperm and egg, the placenta develops without any nerve cells… that means that the placenta functions on its own without being controlled by the mother’s brain... Incredible! In order to support the growing baby the placenta is able to perform the tasks of multiple organs. It can essentially function as the baby's lungs to supply oxygen, kidneys to filter out waste, and as the gastrointestinal and immune systems by delivering nutrients and antibodies. It also functions as the baby's endocrine system, secreting hormones including estrogen, progesterone, and growth factors (IGF-1). These hormones and endorphins also help to keep the mother’s stress level in balance. With such an elegant design in form, function and fitness, it's clear as day that we need to bring this wise tradition (i.e. consuming placenta) back home. The placenta supports both mother and child during pregnancy and postpartum as well. During birth, a mother will lose about 10% of her body’s blood supply (blood loss during cesarean section births can be significantly more). Consuming placenta benefits a new mother by supplying her with heme iron, amino acids, essential fats, stem cells and growth factors. Our functional healthcare practitioners have reported that mothers who consume placenta after birth bleed significantly less, have an elevated mood, and more energy. Nutritional support for after birth Postpartum support: mood, milk production, energy Nursing mothers Menopause Dry skin / skin elasticity Contrary to the immediate cord cutting that takes place in modern medical facilities, leaving the placenta attached to the newborn for some time after birth allows more nutrients, vitamins, minerals, & antimicrobial peptides to travel through the umbilical cord to nurture the infant. Many women also believe that leaving the placenta attached for a few hours up to a few days after birth, allows the infant more time to transition into this world while still attached to its womb mother. ANCESTRAL WISDOM BACKED BY SCIENCE [NUTRITION]  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.*(4) Placenta is rich in heme iron, vitamins D3, B6, B12, E, selenium, stem cells, growth factors, cytokines, and hormone cofactors. The daily requirements for these essential vitamins and minerals increase during pregnancy, and each plays an important role in speeding postpartum healing, stimulating lactation, and supporting overall health. HEME IRON  Grassfed Placenta is a rich source of bioavailable heme iron. For women, there is a clear link between low iron status and poor pregnancy outcomes... such as low birth weight, preterm birth, and miscarriages. Iron requirements during pregnancy are considerably higher than usual; yet, over 20% of women in developed countries enter pregnancy with extremely low iron stores, with figures in developing countries likely even higher. Depending on whether we are female or male, we have about 2-4 grams of iron in our bodies. Iron comes in two forms: heme and non-heme. More than 95% of functional iron in the human body is in the form of heme. Heme iron is only found in animal food sources (muscle meat, organs, blood, etc.). Non-heme iron is found in plant foods like whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, and leafy greens. Heme iron is more bioavailable (absorbed more efficiently) than non-heme iron, thus the body is more likely to absorb iron from animal products than iron derived from plant foods. If you are interested in learning more about heme iron supplementation, be sure to check out our Blood Vitality page and read the section titled Iron Management. VITAMIN D Other than the skin, liver, and kidneys, the only other organ which metabolizes vitamin D is the placenta, where it is synthesized into the active metabolites involved in bone growth and fetal development. For pregnant women and those planning to become pregnant, vitamin D is of particular importance as it helps to mitigate glucose regulation, develop healthy bones and even helps to tone the uterus – helping the uterus to contract properly during labor. For women suffering from polycystic ovarian disease, vitamin D is helpful as it offers beneficial effects on insulin resistance. For the good of your placenta and growing baby too, get your daily dose of midday sunshine and enjoy vitamin D-rich foods like Wild Caught Fish Eggs, pastured animal fats (including our Pure Marrow, and Tallow) and raw grass-fed dairy. One tablespoon of fish eggs supplies even more Vitamin D3 than a midday dose of daily sunshine! This is the vitamin D3 boost that the Inuit and traditional mountain-dwelling tribes of South America used to feed children, pregnant women, and their elders when sunlight was not a readily available option. B VITAMINS Several B-vitamins help the body metabolize fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. They also help the nervous system function properly and are necessary for a healthy liver, skin, hair, and eyes. Grass Fed Placenta is a whole food supplement that is rich in B vitamins, which support fundamental health, positive mental outlook, iron status, immune function, and cardiovascular health.(5) B6 (pyridoxal) Grass fed beef organs, including liver and placenta, are some of the richest sources of bioavailable vitamin B6, which is an important catalyst for over 100 different reactions in your body. (6) Pregnant women with low levels of B6 are at high risk to suffer preeclampsia or eclampsia, which is usually also associated with folate and vitamin D deficiency.(7) Vitamin B6 is also an ingredient for all three of the important neurotransmitters in the brain: dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. Imbalances of these neurotransmitters are connected with specific symptoms of major depressive disorder and may also contribute to postpartum depression.(8) The human body neither produces nor stores vitamin B6 so it is essential to get enough in your diet every day by eating grass fed beef liver, pasture-raised poultry, wild-caught seafood, and whole food supplements like Grass Fed Placenta. B12 (cobalamin) Vitamin B12 works synergistically with folate to synthesize DNA and red blood cells. It assists in the production of myelin, which protects your nerve cells (neurons) and regulates nerve impulse transmission.(9) Vitamin B12 deficiency during pregnancy is associated with neural tube defect (NTD) and preterm delivery. That said, many other B12 deficiency symptoms that can occur in anyone including anemia, cognitive decline, memory loss, brain fog, depression, cardiovascular problems, peripheral neuropathy (numbness, tingling, burning in the hands, legs, and feet), impaired immune function, infertility, developmental and learning disabilities. Unfortunately, B12 deficiency is often missed by physicians and diagnosed as Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis. A common myth among vegetarians and vegans is that it’s possible to get B12 from plant sources like seaweed, fermented soy, spirulina, and brewer’s yeast. The truth is, there are almost no vegan sources of vitamin B12. Nearly all seaweed tested has been revealed to contain vitamin B12 analogs (that is, chemically similar) called cobamides that actually block the intake of—and increase the need for—true B12.(10) B12 is also known as Cobalamin because it contains the trace element cobalt. Cobalamin is produced in the gut of animals and is found almost exclusively in animal foods. Some of the best sources of B12 are liver, clams, oysters, mussels, fish eggs, octopus, crab, lobster, beef, lamb, cheese, and eggs. We can avoid all forms of anemia, cognitive decline, cardiovascular and immune issues simply by consuming the foods of our ancestors. SELENIUM Selenium deficiency is a modern health issue...common in people worldwide who are dependent on food grown in low-selenium soil, and also those with digestive disorders, HIV, or who are undergoing dialysis. A high serum level of selenium has been shown to decrease the risk of breast cancer, lung cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and prostate cancer.(11) So you don’t want to mess around with not getting enough. Due to farming practices, soil conditions, and climate, plant-based sources of this essential mineral are notoriously random, with the actual amount of selenium ranging from 11% to 288% of the recommended daily amount in one study of Brazil nuts.(12) Even in deficient environments, all animals have homeostatic systems to regulate the amount of selenium and other micronutrients in their organs.(13) Grassfed Placenta is an ideal candidate for a bioavailable whole food dietary source of selenium. PLACENTAL OPIOD-ENHANCING FACTOR (POEF) The ingestion of placenta produces pain-relieving effects in mammals. According to a recent study, this is due to the ‘Placental Opioid-Enhancing Factor’ (POEF) which is present in the placenta of humans and related species. To be fair, the native inhabitants of North and South America and Ancient Egyptians would not be very impressed with these “modern medical breakthroughs.” Whether the molecular mechanism was perfectly understood is purely academic, our ancestors knew all about the pain-relieving qualities of high-quality animal placenta for thousands of years. CORTICOTROPIN-RELEASING HORMONE (CRH) CRH is secreted by the hypothalamus and placenta to release hormones and endorphins which work together to reduce stress and elevate mood. The hypothalamus in the brain is the only source of CRH for most women and all men. During pregnancy, however, the placenta begins to release large amounts of a special kind of CRH to keep the expectant mother’s stress hormones in balance. The placenta increases CRH production three-fold during the late stages of pregnancy.(14) Following childbirth, the placenta retains a large amount of CRH, however, the mother’s level now drops to below normal.(15) This is important because CRH stimulates the production of both cortisol and β-endorphin, the latter binds with opioid receptors to elevate mood and relieve stress. Cortisol releases stored glucose, stimulates fat metabolism from adipose tissue and modulates the immune system to maximize the healing response. CRH seems like a good candidate for why consuming placenta may have a positive effect on postpartum depression and stimulating healing after childbirth.(16) VITAMIN E Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that is essential for the production and maintenance of healthy skin. Consuming Vitamin E rich foods provides our sebum with the raw materials to hydrate and nourish our skin. It's interesting to note that topically applying nourishing fats, like Pure Marrow, can also supply the skin with specific vitamin E forms that we don't absorb when we eat them. According to the National Institutes of Health, Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that may help reduce free radical damage and slow the aging process of your cells. Vitamin E can also absorb the energy from ultraviolet (UV) light. It plays an important role in photoprotection, preventing UV-induced free radical damage to skin.  LIVER - THE ULTIMATE SUPERFOOD Grass fed liver holds the nutritional keys to overall health as it is particularly rich in vitamin A, B12, K2, choline, folate, riboflavin and many other powerful nutrients that most people are deficient in. Vitamin A is one of several fat-soluble activators necessary for the assimilation of minerals in the diet and its many functions include forming and maintaining healthy teeth, skin, mucous membranes, skeletal and soft tissues. Vitamin A also plays a key role in the function of the unborn child’s immune system and is vital for the healthy development of the unborn child's vision, in addition to other organs and the fetal skeleton. VITAMIN K2 is one of the fat-soluble activators, a super nutrient that enables our bodies to absorb and utilize all of the minerals from the foods we eat. Unsurprisingly then, Vitamin K2 is essential for conception, fetal development and hormone production. "It is possible to starve for minerals that are abundant in the foods eaten because they cannot be utilized without an adequate quantity of the fat-soluble activators.” - Weston A. Price. Choline plays a crucial role in placental development and exponential fetal organ growth. Choline also supports tooth development, as well as brain development, and significantly decreases the chances of cognitive dysfunction. High quality desiccated beef liver supports our fertility as well as our connective tissue systems (skin, hair, gums, ligaments, tendons, etc.), energy metabolism, immune, hormone, heart, and brain health. Whether from grass fed beef, bison, or lamb, grass fed liver is one of the most nutrient-dense, health promoting foods you could possibly eat. Our genome has evolved with the nourishment of liver since the beginning of time… Hunters all over the world, for uncounted thousands of years, would first eat the raw livers of the animals they killed. Lions and other predatory animals will also eat the liver first.

The suggested use of this supplement is to take 6 capsules per day (even though it technically is food) or as directed by a healthcare professional — for added support, the dose can be doubled. If consuming more than six capsules at once, the doses should be separated by at least three hours to improve tolerability. 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 two weeks to achieve the desired serving size of 6 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.  

Serretia is an incredibly potent pure serrapeptase product. Serretia is rated at 250,000 SPU's per dose. Did you know Serrapeptase is one of the world's finest enzymes that supports normal mucus levels? Serretia is an excellent choice for promoting healthy sinus activity during cold and flu season. Serretia is also the perfect addition to ice to support a normal inflammatory response after sports injuries and invasive procedures. This amazing enzyme is an excellent complement to Neprinol, boosting its ability to reduce occasional discomfort and aiding in normal recovery times.* Originally discovered in the intestine of silkworms, the proteolytic enzyme Serrapeptase is harnessed by Arthur Andrew Medical through the isolation of the microorganism, Serratia E-15. Serrapeptase’s inherent ability to digest dead tissue enables the enzyme to successfully aid in supporting normal scar tissue, normal blood clotting, and allows for more fluid and natural blood flow throughout the body.* Serrétia has a variety of different benefits that may help with the following: Sport injuries* Promote healthy sinus activity* Promote free joint mobility* Muscle tears and pulls* Surgical recovery* Normal fluid retention such as swelling* Potent fibrinolytic activity* Promotes recovery after physical stress* Boosts energy levels* Promotes lean body mass* Suggested Use Directions: Take 2 capsules with 8 oz of water on an empty stomach or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Maintenance: 2 capsules 1 time per day. Immune Building: 2 capsules 2 times per day. Long Term Immune Support: 2 capsules 3 times per day. Short Term Immune Support: 3 Capsules 3 times per day. Serrétia is an excellent complementary product to any Neprinol or Syntol regimen.* Warning: Do not take Serretia without the consent of your physician if you are taking anti-coagulants or if you are pregnant or nursing.* Is Serrétia safe? No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking systemic enzymes such as Serretia.* Supplement Facts Supplement Facts Serving Size: 2 Capsules Amount Per Serving* % Daily Value Serrapeptase 250,000 SPU † * Percent Daily Values based on a 2,000 calorie diet † Daily Value Not Established Other Ingredients: Cellulose (Acid Armor™ Capsules) Serretia™ is free of dairy, gluten, and soy allergens. Contains no artificial colors or preservatives. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place with lid tightly closed. WARNING: Serrapeptase may thin the blood. Consult your physician if you are currently taking anticoagulants Frequently Asked Questions What is Serretia? Serretia is comprised of 99.99% pure Serratiopeptidase, more commonly known as Serrapeptase. Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme originally discovered in the intestine of silkworms, and is produced by Arthur Andrew Medical through the isolation of the microorganism Serratia E-15. In Japan, Serrapeptase is commonly prescribed as a drug, but here in the US we can experience serrapeptase and all of its wonderful benefits without a prescription.* How Does Serretia Work? Taken on an empty stomach, Serrapeptase, a fibrinolytic (fibrin digesting) enzyme, enters the bloodstream via the small intestine. Serrapeptase supports normal fibrin production within the body; its inherent ability to digest waste particles enables the enzyme to support normal recovery times and support healthy circulation.* Why Should I Take Serretia? Serrapeptase has a variety of benefits, and has been found to successfully aid in the breakdown of scar tissue, cysts, blood clots, and plaque. Serrétia may help to improve recovery after sports injuries or surgery, muscle tears and pulls, sinus activity, joint mobility and fluid retention. Like other proteolytic enzymes, Serrapeptase serves as a healthy choice without the risking detrimental effects on various organs, including the liver and kidneys.* Can I Take Too Much Serrapeptase? Although Serretia contains highly potent Serrapeptase, it can safely be incorporated into your supplement regimen. There have been no indications that one can over-dose from the use of systemic enzymes such as Serrapeptase. However, it is important to follow dosaging instructions unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider.* Is Serretia Enteric Coated? Instead of using any type of enteric-coated serrapeptase, the serrapeptase supplement Serrétia uses a different technology known as Acid Armor. Acid Armor capsules are made of an extra-thick layer of cellulose (the main component of veggie caps). Acid Armor capsules have a better-designed way of fitting the two sides of the capsules together, which limits leaking. Acid Armor capsules have also been designed to delay the release of the capsule's contents for up to an hour. When a product like Serrétia is taken on an empty stomach, the capsule enters and leaves the stomach in 30 minutes or less. This means that the Acid Armor provides more than enough time for the serrapeptase enzyme to get through the stomach and into the more "enzyme friendly" environment of the intestines.* When is the best time to take Serretia? For best results, take the product at least one hour prior to eating and/or two hours after a meal.* Can I take Serrétia with other supplements? Serretia can be used safely with other dietary supplements. In fact, it is recommended that it be taken in conjunction with Neprinol or Syntol for additional proteolytic and fibrinolytic support.* How long does it take for Serretia to work? Although every person is different, some have reported feeling the effects of systemic enzymes in as little as 45 minutes. For therapeutic regimens, the progression may be slow for some and quicker for others. Serrapeptase has been shown to support normal scar tissue formation, normal blood clotting and allows for more fluid and natural blood flow throughout the body. These effects are typically noticed within a very short time frame, though the other benefits of taking Serrétia on a regular basis are boundless and will progress with time.*

Zinc is an essential mineral, necessary for sustaining all life. It is estimated that 3,000 of the hundreds of thousands of proteins in the human body contain zinc..... Zinc ions are now considered neurotransmitters. Cells in the salivary gland, prostate, immune system and intestine are other types of tissues that highly need zinc. The below information is from MineralsInc.com. Read the full text with references at: MineralsInc.com Role of Zinc in Human Nutrition Zinc is involved in well over one hundred metabolic process and body functions, Normal growth and development Maintaining healthy skin and bones Essential in various metabolic processes Healing and immune functions Physiologically, zinc is vital for growth and developments, sexual maturation and reproduction, dark vision adaptation, olfactory and gustatory activity, insulin storage and release and for a variety of host immune defenses, among other things. Zinc deficiency can result in growth retardation, immune dysfunction, increased incidence of infections, hypogonadism, oligospermia, anorexia, diarrhea, weight loss, delayed wound healing, neural tube defects of the fetus, increased risk for abortion, alopecia, mental lethargy and skin changes. Zinc may have immunomodulatory activity. It may also have antioxidant activity. Zinc has putative antiviral, fertility- enhancing and retinoprotective activities. Effects of Zinc Deficiency Even borderline zinc deficiency or disturbances in zinc metabolism can have profound adverse health effects. Those at greatest risk of such deficiencies and disturbances include infants, children, the elderly and pregnant women. Due to conditions that can limit the bioavailability of zinc, even when there is adequate zinc intake, zinc deficiency may affect still larger population. Among diseases and conditions associated with zinc deficiency are alcoholism, malabsorption syndromes, acrodermatitis enteropathica, anorexia nervosa, thermal burns and total parenteral nutrition without zinc supplementation. Zinc Supplementation as Zinc Citrate Supplemental zinc may be helpful in some of the foregoing, in some conditions of immune impairment, in some complications of pregnancy, in the prevention of some cases of fetal neural tube defects, diarrhea, oligospermia, delayed wound healing and some cognitive disorders. It may also help against some inflammatory disorders. Zinc is essential for proper formation and maturation of spermatozoa. There is some evidence that zinc can promote and accelerate wound healing in some circumstances. Zinc is also very important to the newborn when breast milk may be its only source of Zinc. Zinc Citrate represents a totally reacted and nutritionally functional Chelate of Zinc and the naturally occurring citrate in the human body. Zinc citrate caters to the need of "optimal mineral nutrition" with respect to zinc by delivering it in a more bio-available, energy rich, tolerant and safe form. Additional information: Adapted from Wikipedia. Read the full text with references at: Wikipedia.com "Zinc deficiency results from inadequate intake of zinc, or inadequate absorption of zinc into the body. Signs of zinc deficiency include hair loss, skin lesions, diarrhea, prostate swelling, delayed wound healing (epithelial tissue won't heal as well or as fast as it should in a zinc deficient state), wasting of body tissues and white spots on the nails. Eyesight, taste, smell and memory are also connected with zinc. A deficiency in zinc can cause malfunctions of these organs and functions. Congenital abnormalities causing zinc deficiency may lead to a disease called Acrodermatitis enteropathica (Caution: the linked-to website has some rather graphic pictures of infants afflicted with acrodermatitis enteropathica). Obtaining a sufficient zinc intake during pregnancy and in young children is a very real problem, especially among those who cannot afford a good and varied diet. Brain development is stunted by zinc insufficiency in the womb and in youth. It is widely recognized that lack of zinc can contribute to acne. When asked his opinion, here's what Dr. Wong had to say about Zinc Citrate: "This warrants repeating: 'Zinc is the most essential mineral for sexual function' and Zinc Citrate is the best absorbed zinc! Why? Because most zinc supplements are very, very poorly absorbed. The oxides are mostly excreted. Those Zincs that are chelated to amino acids need to further bond to a lipid (fat) to be transported across the intestinal wall. Zincs that are chelated to sugars (gluconates) don’t get in well either. But, anything bonded to anything in the Vit. C family such as citric acid, Vit. C, ascorbates, etc. are taken in instantly and almost completely! That is why, despite all the sales hype to the contrary, calcium citrate, magnesium citrate and zinc citrate are the best absorbed minerals of their kind."

Original Vitalzym is a hybrid formula that combines systemic and digestive delivery to provide total system support. It contains protease, serrapeptase, papain, bromelain, amylase, lipase, rutin and amla. Vitalzym systemic proteolytic enzyme therapy assists the body in fighting: Autoimmune conditions Fibromyalgia symptoms Uterine Fibroid Tumors  Pain and Inflammation Fibrosis of the organs Scar tissue Toxins and impurities in the blood Viruses Our bodies have a variety of functional units, such as a digestive system, an immune system, a cardiovascular system, and a circulatory system, just to name a few.  Each system requires energy in order to perform optimally.  It just so happens that enzymes provide this much needed energy for the successful completion of each biological function. The Purpose of Enzymes Enzymes are said to be the “sparks of life.” They are considered keys that can unlock the door to a healthier you because they not only help improve digestion and nutrient absorption; they are also responsible for millions of bodily functions. What exactly are enzymes?  They are proteins that are responsible for every chemical reaction that goes on in your body; governing all functions related to your tissues, muscles, bones, organs, and cells.  Every second of our lives, over 3,000 different enzymes are constantly renewing and changing, often at unbelievable speeds.    The Purpose of Enzymes Enzymes are said to be the “sparks of life.” They are considered keys that can unlock the door to a healthier you because they not only help improve digestion and nutrient absorption; they are also responsible for millions of bodily functions.  What exactly are enzymes?  They are proteins that are responsible for every chemical reaction that goes on in your body; governing all functions related to your tissues, muscles, bones, organs, and cells.  Every second of our lives, over 3,000 different enzymes are constantly renewing and changing, often at unbelievable speeds.  Enzymes are responsible for everyday bodily processes, such as: Metabolism Digestion Breathing Movement Liver function Immune regulation Viscosity of blood Cellular detoxification Energy production Stamina Ability to utilize vitamins and minerals Enzymes have been studied since the early 1900s.  Even though there is over a century's worth of information regarding their use, we still have much to learn about them.  Although, one thing is for certain; life as we know it, would not exist without them. Over the last decade, science has uncovered numerous roles for enzymes than ever thought possible, as they literally initiate millions of reactions within your body.  In fact, many health care professionals are now advocating the use of enzymes for various conditions and post-operative healing. When referring to enzymatic supplements, it's important to distinguish between those used for digestionand those used systemically. Digestive enzymes are taken orally with food in order to help break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins for improved digestive function and nutrient absorption. Original Vitalzym can assist with digestion, but are not primarily a digestive enzyme. Systemic enzymes, such as those in original Vitalzym, are taken orally in between meals on an empty stomach. This way they can be absorbed by the intestines into the bloodstream where the body can utilize them for countless bodily processes.    Vitalzym Systemic Enzyme Therapy As we age, our body's natural production of enzymes begins to slow down.  Some health care professionals believe that our natural production of enzymes starts to decrease after the age of 27.  It is not too long after this that many of us begin to notice symptoms of low enzyme production, which can include:  Slow wound healing Increased scarring Poor digestion Fibrosis conditions Internal inflammation Dr. Anthony Cichoke, enzyme authority, states in his book, Enzymes and Enzyme Therapy, that "Our body's ability to function, to repair when injured, and to ward off disease is directly related to the strength and numbers of our enzymes.” 1 Supplemental enzymes like those in Original Vitalzym, New Vitalzym andVitalzym Cardio along with proper diet and exercise can help to maintain your normal enzyme levels and balance your body's own repair mechanisms. They can also help reduce the incidence of inflammatory and fibrosis conditions.   References 1.
