ETHICALLY MADE BEEF ORGAN SUPPLEMENTS

Sourcing Ethically Produced Beef Organ Supplements

Ethical sourcing is an important step in choosing a beef organ supplement. Most beef organ supplements are not what they seem.

The Source Of Your Beef Organ Supplements Matters A Lot

The vast majority of glandular supplements use materials from South America, in particular Argentina and Brazil.

Beef Organ Supplements And Forest Loss

Cattle farming is the leading cause deforestation in South America.

Every year countless acres of rainforest and temperate forests are lost for this reason.

Beef Organ Supplements From Argentina

In Argentina huge amounts of important temperate forests are being lost because of illegal ranching.

In the past two decades alone, around 12.4 million acres of the Grand Chaco forest have been lost, the majority from cattle ranching.

 

Avoid choosing beef organ supplements sourced from Argentina, because we should not be cutting down forests for cattle grazing.

Beef Organ Supplements From Brazil

In Brazil and other countries around the Amazon rainforest, upwords of eighty percent of deforestation is the result of cattle ranching.

Never choose beef organ supplements sourced from Brazil, the Amazon Rainforest is far too important to lose to cattle grazing.

Regeneratively Farmed Beef Organ Supplements

Proper cattle ranching, regenerative farming, helps to restore grasslands and improve the environment.

This is the way cattle should be raised, not by cutting down important forests.

One problem that is arising is fake regnerative farming. This is becoming a big problem, especially in New Zealand.

The Best Source For Beef Organ Supplements

We only source organ supplements from regeneratively farmed animals from one region of Australia, The Lake Eyre River Basin. so that no forest has to be cut down, and the local environment is actually improved from grazing.

Our regeneratively farmed organ supplements are actually carbon negative, because so much carbon is sequestered in the ground.

The same cannot be said for those produced from deforested land, which leads to massive carbon release.

Poorly Dried Beef Organ Supplements

Another issue with South American organ supplements is that while many raw materials claim to be freeze-dried they actually are not.

What they are actually doing is freezing the organs and then high-temperature drying them.

 Any heating process affects heat-sensitive vitamins, minerals, and cofactors and denatures protein.

 

 Usually, the lower-quality product from Argentina or Brazil made using heat-activated drying technology is cheaper than the higher-quality freeze-dried product.

Deceptive Beef Organ Supplement Labeling

Labels can be deceiving because many of the terms are not regulated.

Rather than focus on fancy labeling terms, look for products that can be traced back to the farms they came from and companies that actually produce their own products, from raw materials to bottles.

By doing that, you have a much greater chance of getting an ethical, high-quality product.

Organ supplements are a great way to improve your health and the health of the environment, but without proper sourcing and manufacturing, they can have the opposite effect.
