Ancestral Supplements Grass Fed Beef Spleen
by Ancestral Supplements
"Grass-fed beef spleen for heme iron and immune peptides — the ancestral iron source with tuftsin and splenin for immune modulation"
Overview
Ancestral Supplements Grass Fed Beef Spleen provides desiccated spleen from New Zealand grass-fed cattle. The spleen is the body's largest lymphoid organ and a rich source of heme iron (the most bioavailable form), tuftsin (an immune-stimulating peptide), splenin (a peptide that supports immune function), and spleen-specific proteins. Heme iron from spleen is absorbed 2-3x better than non-heme iron from plant sources and doesn't cause the constipation associated with iron supplements. The product follows the 'like supports like' principle of ancestral nutrition — consuming spleen to support spleen and immune function.
