Ancestral Supplements Grass Fed Beef Brain Supplement with Liver, 180 Ct

As a female with endometriosis, my experience is like most women who suffer with this condition - it takes over a decade to get diagnosed and the "treatment" options are just as damaging to the body and mind as the debilitating effects of endo. And for someone who has been eating a VERY strictly clean and moderated diet for 20 years (a greater part of that I was vegetarian because of my digestive response to meats), the options that conventional medicine have to offer, simply suggest that managing stress is the only "holistic" approach left I can take that doesn't include surgeries and synthetic hormones. If that isn’t stressful, I don’t know what is! And that was most definitely not an acceptable answer to myself so I have spent years exploring by trial and error…this eventually led me to Ancestral Supplements and the sincerely incredible human Brian, the owner, who simply put, has saved my LIFE! Here’s my journey back to a life worth living: My ah ha moment related to animal organs/bioavailability came from my hardcore stance on feeding my dogs raw, nutrient dense diets over the years. And most specifically, as a pit bull owner, managing histamine/allergic responses in my dogs has always been a priority. After my endo diagnosis and some changes that took place for me - namely surgery to diagnose my endo, removal of my fallopian tubes and taking me off of birth control that I had been on since I was very young to treat "heavy bleeding" but was causing severe side effects - in the aftermath of these biological changes I started to have an even more significant response to histamines. I had never had "allergies" before and cyclically I was now having very severe responses to my environment. As one of those many trials and errors, I started to dabble first with animal fats, as I had learned about my body composition and my ability to digest and break down fats very well. I then transitioned into including small amounts of whole liver and heart from a local farm here in AZ that pasture raises all its meats. While the transition was somewhat difficult simply because I have a digestive system that has never been happy - I persevered through this complete shift from vegetarian/vegan to predominantly carnivore. Through this process, it forced me to dive deep on the bioavailability and "like-for-like" impact of eating animal organs to treat my organs. I have stage 4 endo which means it has spread in my body well beyond my reproductive system which includes an impact on my digestive system and my nervous system, including my vagal nerve. I definitely relied on sources of information that were being shared by the Paul Saladino's of the world, but continued to find myself stuck a bit when it came to a focus specifically on women's health and those conditions that afflict so many of us. After digging and digging, and finding a lot of great reviews of Ancestral Supplements, I was intrigued to keep digging into all of the various options - the most extensive when it comes to desiccated organ supplements. And so I started my journey with just liver supplementation first because my endo can also cause a lot of nausea and I had been struggling to always consume liver in the whole form. Being able to do both - desiccated when needed and whole liver - was a game changer. I had also been rendering down my own suet and trying to incorporate that into my diet, so Ancestral’s tallow was also another great way to supplement without having to consume food in volume when my body was still trying to just heal. Long story short, as a regular consumer of Ancestral Supplements’ liver, thymus, colostrum, intestines, tallow, brain, gallbladder, collagen and pancreas supplements - I have experienced an incredible shift in the levels of pain and frequency that my body feels, a response that many have told me I may never have with my severity of endo. Generally, endo flare ups would put me out for several weeks each month (and yes I know there are only 4 weeks in a month, tragic). Those flare ups have been shorter and more manageable generally. And then there's the mental health benefit - the severe impact of endo and my life experiences have taken a drastic toll on my mental health. I have been diagnosed in the past with PMDD which was very severe when I came off of birth control, although really no better while on it. The "cocktail" of supplements has completely saved my life. When my mental health improved, so did my energy levels. As an always energetic and physically active person, it has been difficult to go through long, extended bouts of no energy - it kills your spirit. But I have found it again, and so quickly. Sustaining through an entire day was not something I could do without pain and exhaustion hitting me and knocking me out by nightfall. Now, I am in control of my energy, my sleep is deliberate and my physical activity is coming back (without the negative effects that endo had prior - I would lose feeling in my legs due to endo flare ups on my nervous system). And while all of these changes sound miraculous, and they really are from where I was in my state of depressed desperation, I still absolutely suffer debilitating pain more frequently than anyone should so I am anxiously anticipating the opportunity to try Ancestral Supplements FEMM!, the only product on the market specifically targeting female reproductive organs with the quality assurance that Ancestral Supplements offers. And while all of these benefits have been overwhelming encouraging to me, it is perhaps my hair that gets the most comments…over the last several months, my hair has been obscenely shiny. I don't use hair products aside from a little shampoo and conditioner. I'm one of those folks that doesn't allow heavy metals, silicones, etc into my products so the stuff I am using is legit straight from nature (I make my own sunscreen if that tells you anything LOL) and yet, in its completely natural state, never died, never treated, my hair is so soft, so shiny, so long, so healthy, and that is honestly where I am getting asked most about my routine - and so I share that it is all about the ancestral supplements! I'm sure this was way more than you bargained for when reading a review but honestly, and simply THANK YOU Ancestral Supplements...not only have you saved my life...you gave me back a life worth living. I never lost sight of what a quality of life meant, I just knew I didn't have one and was determined to get it back...and you have made that and so much more possible for me, and now too for all of those people who come across my path who are willing to take on the responsibility of our own health and wellbeing! Your loyal customer for LIFE!

I chose to wait a few weeks before writing this review so we had a chance to take it and really see if it was beneficial. Without a doubt, this is a solid supplement and I been taking supplements for over 20 yrs. Every so often you come across a product that you really feel and see differences from, and this is one of them. This is an excellent product for those who follow a blood type diet and need meat in their diet. I am a meat eater, I eat meat every single day (B negative) but my wife only eats meat on occasion, yet her blood type (O positive) calls for it. When she goes days without eating any meat she starts to feel sluggish, tired and weak. I try to tell her that she needs to supplement more meat in her diet, but she says she just doesn't have the taste for it at times. Since I started her on these products, she has felt a big difference in her well being. She feels so much better, no more feeling weak and lack of energy. It is really perfect supplementation for the lack of meat for when she goes through her dry spells from eating it. She even noticed that her hair (she is a beautician) and nails seem to be more healthier and stronger. I also have 3 young daughters who all have blood types that require meat (B-, O+, O+). One out of the three has no problem with eating meat and eats everything, but the other 2 within the last couple of years became so picky and just stopped meat and is basically eating only carbs - pasta, rice, pancakes, pizza, bread etc. The one that eats everything is nice and filled out, healthy and strong, but the other two, I saw differences in weight. My wife started to empty some caps in butter and would cook it in the rice they ate. I saw differences in them within days. The differences I saw was cognitive differences. My background is education and I work with them every night with school work. Most noticeable was less hyper active and the focus was much better. It just seemed that the thinking process as a whole was improved. We also noticed after a couple of weeks, they started to look more filled out, and the only thing that was added in their diet was these supplements. The effects were amazing, and in my view, I recommend that any parents who have children who are picky eaters (don't eat meat) and have blood types that require meat in their diet, to get these supplements and find a way to supplement them. You will see a difference. Now lastly, for me, since I do eat meat every day, you would think that taking these supplements won't make a difference -- but actually it did. Not only do I follow a blood type diet, but I also combine it with a Intermediate Fasting diet. I fast anywhere from 16 - 18 hrs a day and my first meal is usually a steak. The way these supplements have helped me is I take them with my last meal at night and it helps me to prolong my fast longer the next day. I noticed the difference immediately. Usually with the IF diet, your last meal should be carb based so that it helps prolong the fast the next day by keeping you full. Since I been using these supplements along with my last meal, the next day I feel stronger and it definitely helps with the fast. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about these supplements. If you follow the blood type diet its a must have, actually any diet, its the perfect supplementation for meat. I will be ordering these supplements for a long time and I am really happy with the results. Buy with confidence!

I stumbled upon this supplement when a person asked about it on a Facebook page that I'm a part of. I was really intrigued because I know how crucial it is to include all parts of the animal regularly in our diets, not just limiting ourselves to the muscle meat. After looking into Ancestral Supplements' website, I was very satisfied with the sourcing, quality, and general ideology that the company upholds. It generally paralleled my own lifestyle. Our ancestors ate all of the organs: brains, liver, heart, spleen, kidney, etc. We're the only animal that defaults to just eating muscle meat and ignores the organs (most people at least) and even the bones. When I feed my cat, she will almost always go for the liver or heart first, followed by whichever other one is left, and even the other giblets before going to the muscle meat. Other animals show the same behaviors and choices when eating. "Like supports like" -- The idea of eating the organ of a healthy animal would help the corresponding organ in your own body. I believe that there's truth behind the old saying. The idea of supplementing brain just sounds awesome. It's not a commonly seen supplement, so this is the one that really hooked my interest. Brain contains unique proteins, and it's a great source of Omega-3. And if eating brain can help my brain, I'm all for trying it. So how have the supplements been holding up? Well, by Day 2, I noticed my chronic brain fog already clearing up. By Day 3, I had a surge of natural energy that could ONLY be explained by these supplements. Nothing else in my life had changed. The natural energy has continued to be a daily thing every since. I used to struggle to stay up late when playing video games or socializing, but now I accidentally stay up way too late most nights. Even though I still like to have coffee in the morning, there isn't this rush to caffeinate myself, I can easily go without caffeine at all -- something I was relying on desperately before starting these supplements. The full serving is six capsules for each one. It seems like a lot, but you have to keep in mind that these are whole food supplements that are essentially replacing a small meal of organs each day. It's also just completely worth it to feel so much healthier -- and YOU WILL!! Ancestral Supplements is a very respectable company. Their products are sourced from 100% grass-fed bovine (cows) from New Zealand. No hormones, pesticides, or GMO's. The organs are freeze-dried, unrefined, and retain all of the valuable nutrients. One of the owners, Brian, is an extremely personable guy. He has given me invaluable information regarding these supplements as well as sharing his own wisdom and guiding me towards an even healthier lifestyle. I have a lot of respect for him and his ways. He truly, genuinely cares about the quality of his products and the well-being of his consumers on a personal level. It's been great to connect with someone like that. I'm probably going to be a permanent customer from here on out! I highly recommend visiting the Ancestral Supplements page, reading their About Us page, and giving these products a try. It has been LIFE CHANGING.

I've now added the brain and bovine tracheal cartilage supplements. I seriously think that I have the whole 'nose to tail' cow except for the adrenal and the prostate which should be forthcoming. This brain has absolutely made a big difference in how I think and how I feel. I am even more organized with better focus, improved sense of well being and more drive. This bovine tracheal cartilage has almost fixed a lingering arthritis / joint problem that I had accepted to live with. It is not perfect, but it is much better. I have taken A LOT of supplements due to a health issue I had almost 7 years ago... spent a small fortune of money (and hope) on traditional supplements that had little to no meaningful benefit. I had since become skeptical of supplements so I too was skeptical of starting the beef liver in July 2017 and I had no expectation whatsoever. Within the first week, I started noticing subtle improvements and then it became obvious... better energy, better digestion, better drive / better mood, improved metal clarity, better joints (not perfect, but better) and more sound sleep. It felt like I found a fountain of youth and every aspect of life. For those interested in my story, I no longer have the necessity for constant naps through out the day. My improvement is in all aspects of higher emotions, less stress, more zest for life. I feel deeply nourished after taking your supplements. Its so funny, I get a little emotional because I was living in a very desperate situation regarding my body, brain and its basic functions. Since I started with your supplements, my life literally started to fall back in place and every single additional product seems to play a role in the process. So I'm really enthusiastic about all of your products. I made family and friends try many of them too and now they're hooked (do you provide commissions, lol). I have come to realize that "supplements" are intended to enhance, or add to, something that is more fundamental. That something that is more fundamental is the 'nose to tail' nourishment that our early ancestors ate... this is the nourishment that is fundamental to our physiology for good health. I am taking the liver, beef organs, bone marrow, beef heart, beef thyroid, beef pancreas and now brain and bovine trachea (see my picture!). I don't see these supplements as "supplements," rather I see them as food that I need to feel and function my best. I am hitting the gym harder... I get less sore... recover faster... joints feel great... digestion / gut health is great... I could go on... The capsules are the perfect size... there is no odor... no taste... no problem of any kind. In full transparency, I also take another brand of vitamin D3 / K2, magnesium and collagen from Vital Proteins. I believe that Ancestral Supplements has the very best products in the world and this is not even the slightest exaggeration. I seriously love your products.

Brian, I am so encouraged using the “brain” supplement—it is really helping me to remember: names, errands that I need to run, grocery items (without a list!) and my “where-on-earth did I put that” moments throughout my day. Incredible! I’m such a fan! I also personally know the incredible health benefits of taking colostrum on a daily basis--and YOURS is “head and shoulders" above any other colostrum I have ever tried--and I have been using colostrum for almost 28 years. Yours is the most expensive--but worth every penny Brian--every penny! I have been "sickly" since I was very young. My mother had me after having my sister just 11 months earlier, she was almost 40 years old when I was born. Her body never had the chance to "recover" from my sister's birth before she got pregnant with me. Consequently, I have had health issues; vision problems at the age of 6, which got worse every year; I caught every viral and bacterial infection that was going around. My spine developed scoliosis so bad, I started seeing a Chiropractor in my mid-20's. I went twice a week for 6 years, after which he showed me my incredible improvement by hanging my new x-ray next to my FIRST x-ray 6 years earlier, my back was perfectly straight, except for a slightly twisted vertebrae in the center of my spine (car accident) which I had in the first ex-ray as well. My belief in "alternative medicine" was BORN! The difference in my life was breath-taking! I found colostrum after having "strep" 3 times in one year. I started taking it aggressively and several things improved, my teeth, my structure, posture, my health--now I rarely get sick! My skin absolutely GLOWED! To this day--people think I am much younger than my 63 years of age. I can't tell you how MUCH I improved from just this ONE supplement! I have used your Colostrum before, and I purchased this again--along with several other of your excellent products. I have also used, and still use: Beef organs, trachea, and others; I could NOT believe the quality of your Company's products. I literally felt more "grounded" and more "centered", if that makes sense. It is the difference between taking vitamins, or taking a natural, holistic, head-to-toe, food-based supplement that your body recognizes and naturally KNOWS how and where to direct the healing effects of these amazing products. I refer so many people to your site on Amazon, Brian. The reason I send them there is because, reading the Testimonials of SO many people who are BLESSED by your products is the BEST form of advertising ever. I was just going to buy the "colostrum" product that first order, but after reading so many excellent personal testimonies--I HAD to try some of your other products! Loving the "Brain" supplement--I will be adding to the list in the coming weeks. Thank you so much Brian for your life-enhancing Products—they are in a league of its own, and also for your care and concern for us who buy from you, and who benefit from YOUR generosity of heart in SHARING these amazing products--and for your wonderful follow up with each and every one of us! Bless you my Brother! Best regards! -Laurie

This review is a bit long, yet i hope it offers HOPE to others. I was SO READY to just leave my body, due to over fifty years of chronic illness, autoimmune, severe pain, inflammation, brain fog, and not knowing what to eat. most foods made me worse. and my body was in starvation mode. and most folks just thought i was lazy and faking. Have spent THOUSANDS of $$ for years. Most of which did not help me. I am now investing those $ for my wonderful healing body into Ancestral Supplements, because these WHOLE FOODS are nourishing to my body. with zero detrimental side effects. JUST GO SLOW when beginning them and build up. I am eating : Brain Thymus Heart Adrenals Bone Marrow Beef Organ Blend(heart, liver, kidney, spleen, pancreas) Bovine Tracheal Cartilage ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ These Ancestral Supplements are freeze dried Grass-Fed Bovine Organs, glands, bone marrow,etc. They are what our ancestors ate--many parts of an animal--with gratitude for that animal. And we have access to these foods as medicine in capsule form, so we don't have to prepare them from scratch. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The very first day i took the bone marrow and heart==ONE CAPSULE of each, I felt a shift from not being able to think/comprehend, putting together maybe three words. to being able to have a five minute conversation later that day. I could feel a strong, very subtle shift in my Heart, too. i could feel the energy of the cows blessing me =) Before this, i couldn't get out of bed till noon and felt ready to die. which would have been fine with me. i'd been reading The Afterlife of Billy Fingers, so know that whatever awaits me, passing through the veils, is 'way more amazing than humans can imagine. I have been Bedbound, Homebound since 2003, with little hope for a brighter outer life. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I also found out about being MTHFR genetic mutated. and am now aspiring to find the appropriate foods and other supplements for me. AND have been someone with ACE's--adverse childhood experiences--which change our body and brain chemistry. this leads to chronic illnesses and much much more. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ALL foods affect everyone differently, even those who have MTHFR mutations. and this MTHFR mutation affects HALF the population. So take a look at the Ancestral Supplements. they have a blend called Beef ORgans, which has liver, heart, kidney, spleen and pancreas. then there are other organs and glands available. These feed and nourish our organs/body, so that any stresses, any die-off and whatever else may challenge our organs can be dealt with better, and offer organ support for our healing systems. Read the AS website's ABOUT US page, for in depth wisdom. Read the many reviews for these products here on amazon. they sure gave me HOPE! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ having the eventual daily suggested six capsules is equivalent to having one ounce of the organ meat. so you are getting real food, too, with all the benefits. this may be of benefit to our grocery bills =) JUST REMEMBER TO GO SLOW WITH ANY NEW ADDITION TO YOUR DIET! STart with one a day for a week, and build up. more info on their website...otherwise, there may be Herxheimer / detox issues. if so , back down and wait. Brian can help you getting started and whenever you need him. the website is chock full of all kinds of information/education for us. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am also taking Seeking Health's ANDENO b-12, the D3 +K, and now taking seven of the AS products. (Before finding about MTHFR, even raw food multivitamin supplements made me worse, and depressed. most of those contain items which are not for MTHFR folks) blessings to us all. i have also placed this review in each of the seven AS products i am presently consuming. it is so much to share, and hopefully help others.

I have been asked a few times by the manufacturer to review this supplement. I do tend to always write reviews for products I purchase on Amazon. However the thing is, when it comes to reviewing vitamins I generally like to wait a good month or two before I say anything. So I don't prematurely say anything and can weigh out any placebo effect VS an actual effect. I was asked within a week to review this and I did not. My apologies for not reviewing sooner I hope you understand. All I can say at this point, it seems to be a solid product, the packaging is good and the pills are a good size. Because this a glandular supplement (and a brain one at that), I'm not sure if I have perceived any effects by this time or not, before I say anything else, I would really like to try it another month or two. The basic "theory" of glandular supplements is like heals like, so for instance if you took a kidney glandular it should be broken down into the basic kidney components and taken by the body to the kidney and used to reconstruct and regenerate the kidney at the cellular level, same for the brain, heart, liver, etc etc. That is the theory anyways... I guess another factor is why exactly one is taking a glandular supplement and what do they hope to achieve. For my case, there was an event that occurred in April 06 that the results of which were a traumatic brain injury and surgery. Suffice it to say that it left me with physical disabilities to go along with mental disabilities I've had since my teens. My coordination is pretty bad, balance is pretty bad. I usually can't go up and down stairs without a handrail, or else risk falling lest I do it at a much slower than average speed. I'm unsure if this round of this supplement has helped me like with motor speed and precision per say. Maybe it has a bit.....I'm really unsure, like perhaps the percentage it has helped the brain with such problems is low enough or so low it barely overrides a placebo effect. I feel such a supplement definitely needs more than a month dose to personally prove efficacy or lack thereof in my case. Whereas, if I saw a night and day difference like me going out and playing basketball again or something, that would be an incredible difference that I could easily include in such a review. But as I have said, based on the things I have seen and experienced over the past 10 years I truly doubt that would happen overnight or even in a week or two. So in conclusion, I would definitely like to try it again, but it is a pricier supplement. I will meditate and pray on this and come to a decision.

Beef brain works so well. I felt immediate results. Felt I had a sharper memory. Was able to remember names and words much faster. Expensive but worth it! Great for those with ADHD.

Been using it for more than a month but no matter when i try it with or without food (even with small dosage) it has been giving me gastrointestinal problems throughout the day. On days that i don’t take it, i have no issues whatsoever. Is this normal or is it a bad batch?
