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 started off taking the liver because I've watched some videos and read some articles about the benefits of it. It's supposed to be the most nutrient dense food on the planet and well, I felt like I was missing something. Some of the health issues that I've been trying to get handled are : fatigue, low motivation, mood issues, anxiety, not recovering well from working out (or just plain not having the energy/motivation to), etc. (I'm sure I'm missing some symptoms haha) Well anyways, I've been feeling really guilty about being lazy and not reaching my potential and wanted something to help me out and so I got the liver and took 4 pills the first day. I felt it instantly and wow! I've been slowly trying to work out by doing calisthenics at my local park but I never felt like going and halfway through I just wanted to stop. After taking the liver that day I felt a definite noticeable increase in my energy and pushed myself to do more exercises! As another "side effect" my libido shot up that day too which my gf noticed as well haha. And so I kept taking 4 a day but noticed I started having some detox symptoms which concerned me. I read a couple of reviews saying how the owner, Brian, actually responded to anyone who messaged him with any concerns and so I decided to as well. I've never had the experience where the owner of a company personally gets back to you and gives you the advice you need. Brian recommended I go back to 1 pill a day and slowly work back up by adding 1 more pill a week until getting to the recommended serving size of 6. He was also really knowledgeable and shared that some people with certain types of issues like methylation can experience detox symptoms. Well, coincidentally I found out a few years ago I have homozygous MTHFR c677 so that made sense! I've also added the kidney because I had a hunch I had some thyroid issues because I always have cold hands and feet, even in the summer time. My gut also seems super sensitive and I read that it helps with that as well. I seem to tolerate the kidney much better than liver as I'm on 3 pills a day at the moment with no issues and I've noticed my stomach isn't as bothered when eating something "bad" when I take the kidney. As of now, I'm on 2 liver pills a day and 3 kidney pills a day and my detox symptoms went away, and I still feel improved energy than from going without it. When I messaged Brian, he also gave me advice on my methylation issues (adding egg yolks for choline, creatine, getting more glycine, methylfolate, etc.) I'm still continuing to move up slowly and would looove to get back to the dramatic increase in energy and mood I felt the first day without the detox symptoms. My intuition and just the feeling I get when taking these supplements tell me I'm on the right path! I will update this in 1-2 months with my progress! - Oh also, I got my girlfriend to try the liver and kidney as well because she was complaining how it's hard for her to feel consistent motivation to work out and her eczema was bothering her from sweating. I got her to try the liver and kidney after my positive experience and she was surprised to feel a big boost in energy while working out and she said her eczema wasn't flaring up too bad that day. At first she was reluctant to try these supplements but now she's going to buy her own bottles :)

I purchased this grasfed beef liver because I have been suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome and also adrenal insufficiency, and tissue thyroid resistance. I have been purchasing several high dollar supplements every month for over a year with a very slow and challenging recovery. I read that beef liver, specifically from grassfed beef, is one of the most nutrient dense foods to eat. Well, I didn't have the nerve to cook up a beef liver and thought I would look into a supplement form. I referred to this product's website after finding it here on Amazon and I also talked directly with the owner regarding some questions I had. Brian, the owner of this company, was so helpful and he answered all of my questions in a way that I felt very confident in making the purchase. I take the recommended dose of 6 capsules every day. I split them up throughout the day but you can take them all at once if you wanted to....and, you can easily take these on an empty stomach with absolutely no issues....which is a blessing for me! After a couple days of taking this I noticed a huge improvement in my overall wellbeing and after a week of taking it I had more energy than I can remember in at least a couple of years. Everyone around me is commenting on how well I look and they have noticed that I'm pretty near my old energetic self again. This beef liver is very easy to take! I can not detect any smell that would be unpleasant at all...which I was a little worried about after reading about eating beef liver. There is zero after taste, etc. The nutrients you get from this liver are highly bio-available and your body know what to do with them and will absorb them so easily since they are not chemically isolated or man-made nutrients. This is how nature intended for your body to get it's nutrients! Directly from the sources in nature. If you are living a paleo lifestyle....these will be perfect for you since they are from such a clean source. If you suffer from any auto-immune disorder or fatigue resulting from a chronic condition or even anemia....please, I can't encourage you enough, purchase these for yourself or a loved one! Your life could change in a drastic way in a short time. And, no matter what, they are well worth the cost. It's a small price to pay for an amazing difference in your health. I will actually be able to save a large amount of $$ every month because I will be able to eliminate many of the other isolated supplements I've been purchasing since there are so many nutrients I need in this beef liver that are more absorbable. I've tried just about everything out there with very slow to notice changes in the past 14 months.....sometimes it feels like you take one step forward and then 5 steps back in getting your health back on track. These little capsules have made the biggest change in my life in the short two weeks since I've received them. I am thrilled to say the least! I am making my second order now so that I'm sure I have them on hand and won't run out. I'm also anxiously awaiting the other products that will be offered by this company. This is a company with high integrity and I really love that....and I also love that I'm supporting a smaller business and not a mega drug company. By the way, I am offering this review for you because I am excited about and absolutely love this product and I truly hope others will read this and benefit from this particular supplement. I have not received any discounts or product offerings for this review. I just personally always read reviews before purchasing products and I am particularly thankful when I see something that I can relate to by reading others experiences. So, if you have any condition that is weighing heavily on your health and feeling of wellness, I really think you will benefit more than just a little....you should hopefully notice great improvements, if you're like me. Hope you get this and hope you can reclaim your energy and overall feeling of wellness. Life is too short! Enjoy!

I am on a Ketogenic (+/-90% carnivore) diet and am constantly in dietary ketosis; intermittent fasting roughly 16-22hrs per day. The only other thing I ingest is Celtic and/or Himalayan salt for minerals and electrolytes. I stay sufficiently hydrated as well. I have been taking my health more seriously over the past 24 months, having dropped roughly 40lbs through diet alone. I have learned of all of the benefits of liver and organ meat. My wife will not tolerate these items being cooked in the house and I only eat it 1x per month when going out. I love it, but I needed a more regular dosage. Enter your product. I began taking 6 capsules/day for exactly 32 days. On the 4th day of taking the Ancestral Supplements (AS for short) Beef Liver Capsules, I started to experience extreme vertigo when sleeping, lying down and getting up. It was very disconcerting, but I went to AS’s website and read that it is common in those with autoimmune disease (Jarisch-Herxheimer Reaction) as I have celiac. Over the next 4 weeks the vertigo had slowly gotten better, but it was still an issue; Mostly when lying down and getting up in the morning. I was staying vigilant with my dosage and hoping to go away completely, but I was still a bit concerned. At this time, I considered adding another supplement to my daily regimen: the Beef Organs per the website’s recommendation, but not wanting the vertigo to exacerbate. I went ahead and did it anyway. Additionally, I added the Bone Marrow product to my every growing list of daily support for 2 reasons: I have receding gums and an always painful right shoulder (probably a torn rotator cuff.) I scaled-back to 3 capsules/day for about 1 week with no changes to my vertigo. At that point, I went to 1 capsule/day for 1 week. A few days after starting the 1/day my vertigo subsided. I increased my dosage to 2 capsules/day for 1 week; then 3 capsules/day for 1 week; and so-on. I finally reached the full 6 capsules/day dosage just as my supply ran out. After receiving my next order of Liver, Beef Organs and Beef Bone Marrow I started-in with a full 6 pill dosage of each. After about 1 week of talking all 3 supplements at full dosage my vertigo came back. It was not as severe as my first bout, but was a setback nonetheless. I’m not sure if the symptoms are from taking AS products or being on a higher meat-much lower vegetable diet. I’ve dropped 11lbs in the 3 weeks since my long vacation and I’m wondering if I’m having a reaction to the post-vacation detox? Being committed to ridding myself of vertigo symptoms once-and-for-all, I slowed down and embarked on the following dosage: 1 full bottle’s worth x3 products (liver, organs and bone marrow) at 4 capsules daily for a total elapsed time of 45 days. Next, I did 1 full bottle’s worth x3 products at 5 capsules daily for 36 days. I’ve just about finished 1 full bottle x3 products at full dosage of 6 capsules each for the recommended 30 days! It has taken a few months, but I have had no further symptoms of vertigo! In the months since beginning the AS supplementation, I have noticed some major changes. My sleep is outstanding, I have stopped grinding my teeth at night, resting heart rate has decreased, blood pressure is way down, nails are stronger and clearer, skin is clearer, immune system is stronger, mood is better, digestion is outstanding, improved mental clarity and concentration. One major benefit I have noticed is that I don’t feel as “down” as I have during past winters (I live in Massachusetts.) Historically I have gone through periods of winter depression (SAD - Seasonal Affective Disorder) and withdrawal from socializing, but not this year. Can I chalk this up to the added Vitamin D of liver? I think it is a strong possibility. My thanks to Brian Johnson of AS for taking the time to email me at least a ½ dozen times to check-in on my progress. His personal attention is a rare thing in this day and age.

I started using this to better support my thyroid and anemia. Since taking the supplements, I have noticed I’m willing to get up the morning, and I have improved energy levels that my thyroid would hinder me from. The recommended dose is 6 capsules; I did reduce to 4 for now as I did experience some reflux. So I’m gunna cut back on the serving to see if that improves. Otherwise a great supplement! I will be getting again!

At 45 I finally took the advice of Vince Gironda who swore by the benefits of taking a beef liver supplement. Now for my own experience after two months i can say the benifits are there. Muscle recovery is better along with 2-3 days rest inbetween high intensity workouts. I can feel and see the estrogen suppression properties in a noticeable reduction of bodyfat. Erections require substantially less physical stimuli which in turn allows focus and enjoyment of performance even after consuming a moderate amount of alcohol.

First off, I'm not being paid for this review. I waited almost a month before posting this just to be sure what was going on. Wanted to be sure it wasn't a placebo effect. I did not know what to expect when taking these. I figured, it's just Liver, what can it do? But the reviews intrigued me and I just happened to have watched a Joe Rogan podcast where they were talking about head-to-tail eating and the value and benefits of organ meats. Brian the owner, also helped me figure out which supplements to order and provided unheard of support and follow-up. I'm very experienced with supplements. I have a whole closet of them to prove it! LOL. I'm always experimenting. I've taken Standard Process, Biotics, Xymogen, Designs for Health, Pure Encapsulations, and dozens of other high-quality brands. The list of supplements that make a noticeable difference for me is quite small. And honestly, I suppose one shouldn't expect a supplement to give you a sort of "feeling". But alas, we all fall into the idea that if we can find that magical "missing" ingredient, it will take us to the next level. Well, these supplements are having a remarkable effect on me and my wife. I live a fairly stressful life, running my own business. With that comes a continual low-level pressure. I think it can be draining over time, especially as you get older or if you develop deficiencies. I'm also in my early 50's now. And I think a year of strict veganism drained something vital out of my body. It's never been replaced until now.... The best way I can describe the effects of taking these is that it feels like it's filling in missing gaps in my nutrition. This is hard to believe since I have been regularly taking a range of high-quality supplements for a long time. But it's filling in some need or there'd be no change. Which makes me think there is more to this than the mere vitamins and minerals they contain. I have more solid energy. I have more persistence, drive, focus, and steadier energy. I can tolerate more stress The floor on my energy is higher and I recover faster. I can work longer and harder without feeling the effects of overdoing it. Since I started taking these... I also feel less inclined to take my OTHER supplements. So this could mean, I can whittle my list of things down to just a few items, which is a huge bonus. Plus it feels good knowing I'm taking something more natural. In short, it's been amazing. I guess I'm a customer for life because I can't see myself NOT taking these. The hook is in! And... my wife who doesn't remember to take any of her supplements... never forgets to take these. She's someone who rarely notices anything from supplements but she's noticed a very solid difference. Better mood, better energy, more focus, better tolerance of stress for her too. I'm now looking to integrate more organ meats into my diet if I can gag them down. I'm sure I can do liver but the others... we'll see... but I have my ancestral products to lean on. And I'm kind of excited to explore the whole product line too. I wouldn't be surprised to find out years from now, that they discover other "factors" in organ and glandular supplements that are vital for health. Give them a shot. They could be the missing thing for you too.

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!

The container came really deformed .. I like the product in general but the fact of deformation of the box is not really acceptable.

So I have been struggling with mood issues since my second child's birth (that is almost 4 years ago), particularly linked to my menstrual cycles. I have generally been feeling exhausted and just low energy, no enthusiasm and brain fog. My PMT symptoms have been debilitating. I have tried a lot of other avenues and supplements to try and manage the symptoms. When I contacted Brian before purchasing any supplements, he was so unbelievably helpful and pointed me to the supplements that would be best for what I am experiencing. So far, I have started on the Beef Liver and am now up to 6 per day. I have increased to 8 a day on the days I am on my period, and today I have actually been dancing around the kitchen with my daughter when usually I would just want to be curled up on the sofa and would get minimal things done!! This is an amazing product, and I can't wait to see how my health and energy continues to improve as it does its work at a cellular level. It is literally transforming my life. I also found his website really useful for more wellbeing tips - I have incorporated a few and they are working!! Thank you Brian!

This is my second time ordering. Finds it very beneficial for me.

I feel more energised and perform better in my trainings whenever I take the supplements. As they are rather costly, I take them every other day. Will continue taking them

Not too sure about the product as i don’t feel any different
