I am already feeling nourished with these products. The effects were not sudden nor immediate. But I'm pregnant and it is not easy for me, so I doubt I'm going to start doing cross fit 24/7 because my energy is so thru the roof because of the capsules. Because I wanted to get in all them for pregnancy, I did slowly introduce but in quick succession, so I'm not exactly sure what is benefitting what. Or maybe they all work together. I have cross posted on the other supplement links in case no one sees this review here on this one product.

The gallbladder one definitely has reduced my pregnancy sludgy gallbladder acting up by about 90-95 percent. I take one in the middle of each meal. I don't have to restrict fats. Though I find eggs plus say raw milk together still gives me the runs. Before I couldn't handle anything more and more, I was getting diarrhea on and off so regularly I was getting worried. I'm massive grateful about this. I don't even take the full serving amount per day, just 1 capsule in the middle of each meal I eat.

The winded, collapsed, breathless and weak sensations have reduced drastically. I'm take blood vitality, liver and heart. What's strange is I hate organ meats (as part of a meal) and after taking them a few weeks, I suddenly started randomly craving liverwurst (which i havent eaten since I was a kid) and pemmican! That's kind of random.

I don't know if connected but I can taste my food better recently and some tastes more accurately after nearly a year of parosmia following covid. It still has a long way to go, though. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Lastly, I ran out of blood vitality and liver for a couple days and could feel it! I'm not sure exactly what was wrong, but I just was not quite right.

Oh, I forgot to mention I have had keratosis Pilaris all my life and it has gotten soooo bad in recent years. It has just about completely disappeared and my skin in soft and glassy. (This is despite high dose Omega 3 supps and fish oils for years which did nothing for it.)

Thanks to the customer service for reaching back out to me out of the blue to find out how these supps were working for me and what I needed. They even offered me an extra bottle of Blood Vitality and encouraged me to share the word of my improvements on the product links. I found the product reviews super helpful as I lay on the couch trying to make decisions what to buy, feeling awful. AS helped me initially target which products to get for the issues I was having (Primarily I had become intolerant during pregnancy to my methylated multivitamin and b vitamins and had tremendous aversions to it. I was starting to puke just the vitamins up alone hours later. Like my body kept the foods and got rid of the vitamin. I decided to switch over to a whole foods nourishment and double checked with a naturopath to be certain. I'm sticking to about 10k iu vitamin a limit because I'm pregnant and AS helped me figure out that I could take liver, blood vitality and the heart and be just under the wire.) The ones AS recommended were:

Gallbladder (bc I was having problems and the naturopath suggested some sort of ox bile as support)
Tallow
Bone Marrow
Living Bone (this is like a calcium supplement replacement - needed when pg to grow baby bones and not suck the calcium from you and your teeth)
Heart
Blood Vitality (because I had symptoms of slightly low iron - I'm getting conflicting messages from two different drs, one says woah your iron is so low and the obgyn NP who wouldn't send me for more iron bloodwork because yours is in range for pregnant women and pregnant women run low???)
Liver
Fish Eggs

Unfortunately it is really expensive, but I had to do something. I wish there was a cheaper alternative where people can save a few dollars getting a non encapsulated version of the same thing with an appropriate serving scoop and just mix it into applesauce, chug it or yogurt or something. I find it quite challenging to take like 500 capsules a day - I do, but I wish I could get it over with in one big mouthful, sometimes the capsules get stuck because there are so many and you have to eat something more to push them down. My kids said if I ever become a saint, my statue should have me holding a capsule in one hand.

I try to keep my bone marrow and living bone more separate from the liver, heart, blood vitality in case it interacts with iron absorption. If you open the bone marrow capsules into something, there are some little hard bits in it so kind of watch your teeth. It isn't terribly hazardous, but the powder is not completely smooth so try not to chew too vigorously whatever you dumped it in.

I still take a methylated folate capsule due to pregnancy, a little extra zinc (which had been in my original vitamin), occasional vitamin d (because I have good levels already), magnesium, vitamin c, and a digestive enzyme just with dinner.

(This was purchased for my wife who suffers from scoliosis. This is her review)

I wanted to share this to let both the company and readers out there know the massive potential that this line of products has to improve lives. In short, I use Ancestral Supplements Grass-fed "Living" Collagen, Grass-fed Bone Marrow, and Bovine Tracheal Cartilage + Liver synergistically with other supplements, diet and exercise as part of a routine to improve my curvature. So far they have been very helpful and I am making a lot of progress. My scoliosis comes with a lot of problems, so I needed all of the help that I could get.

First, some back-story:
In January of 2018, at age 26 I found out that I had 3-curve scoliosis that went under the radar for the course of my life. I found out in the worst way, by suffering stomach torment from a left-leaning middle spine curve and a lot of other internal and outwardly problems that gradually came to a boiling point from childhood into adulthood. Among the symptoms that led to the finding were: chronic inflammation, fatigue, breathing problems, severe arm and shoulder weakness, the appearance of unusually long arms due to a compressed torso, muscle tension and spasms, sleep deprivation, eye twitching, digestive issues, a bizarre lack of athleticism, back pain, an incorrect gait. Since the 3-curve scoliosis spine is a spiral shape, there were also front-to-back curves; my right hip was rotated backwards as well as tilted down, and my neck heavily leaned forward and left. The curves displaced both of my shoulders, with the right shoulder lower than the left to the point that the right arm was rotated. The right arm and hand had poor motor control. The right hand held utensils with a fist. Both shoulder blades protruded with one looking like an open door. My asymmetrical legs were swollen and my rib-cage was twisted and caved-in. The doctors I saw were not able to help me. They offered painkillers for management or surgery if it was unbearable. My case was not from a congenital abnormality in the vertebrae, just "idiopathic", like most cases. It is not known yet how idiopathic scoliosis is initiated, but through this process I came to understand some of physical factors that stand in the way of it improving or make it worse.

I began an exercise routine with the help of a physical therapist to see if it would create impetus for the curvature to reduce: doing stretches, shoulder exercises to push them up and back, 5 inversion table sessions every day, hanging off a pull-up bar, and walking carefully with the intention of rotating my hip, wiggling the spine and encouraging upward blood-flow. This had to be very consistent and my entire day was structured around it. I only sit for meals. I began taking Systemic Enzymes which reduce inflammation and pain without nasty side-effects and help speed the repair of connective tissue (It is a potent non-vegetarian brand called Zymessence, for anyone curious. It must be taken on a completely empty stomach). To not be in great pain meant that I could guide my bones and flesh into better positions and make it stick without giving up and regressing. The maker of the enzymes advised me to increase my magnesium intake because the deformed muscles around the spine are tense and if they did not relax, the spine could not be freed. These efforts started to show results as I was able to make drastic changes to my right shoulder, lifting and rotating the arm so that it could hang more like the other arm, flatting the protruding shoulder blades significantly. The spine started shifting. Eventually the neck moved closer to center, the hip started to rotate, the torso continued to stretch out. The changes were incremental, month by month, but very visible. I gained 2 inches in height and still have more to go.

Where Ancestral Supplements came in:

Along the way I realized that I needed a lot more help in terms of supplements because this was a huge undertaking. I was essentially unraveling a lifetime of deformed growth, resolving body composition issues, constantly re-training my arms to do tasks, and re-learning how to walk properly as my hip turned. In trying to stay as healthy as possible despite the predicament and its limitations, I already ate 2 lbs of meat every day (cooked in tallow, grass-fed butter, real olive oil), did intermittent fasting, used some circulatory, anti-inflammatory, sleep, and digestive supplements. I was having strong cravings for bone broth all of the time, particularly when the inversion table wore me out. It made sense due to the amount of repair work I had to constantly do all over my body. I could do my best to stay on track with everything, but a lot of this was controlled by underlying biology. Conventional collagen was ok but not strong enough. When I tried the Ancestral Supplements Grass-Fed "Living" Collagen the impact was huge. Later on I added on Bovine Tracheal Cartilage + Liver and Bone Marrow for additional joint support, accelerated recovery and an all-around boost in resilience and well-being.

This was the impact:

- I had genuine energy and was glowing.
- I moved with more ease, my movements were more coordinated, and repair sped up.
-There were cognitive benefits. I was better able to focus and manage time, avoiding despair. My memory improved and stress reduced. The dominant thoughts were, "What do I need? What can I get done today?" not, "What if this never works?". Physical dysfunction has a way of bleeding through into spiritual defeat, which in-turn demotivates one from repairing the physical problems. Something like these products can be wedged to intervene in that cycle, and resultantly uphold mental fortitude.
- My upper body felt far stronger and stable than before. This is significant because I don't have real solid shoulders yet, but have to manage as well as I can.
- In the beginning my right leg was severely displaced by the tilted hip, with a dysfunctional knee, a twisted ankle, and a flat, poorly angled foot. As the hip, leg and foot changed position I had to protect it. The joints had to be insured given the tremendous stress imposed on them for as long as my spine is not yet straight. My ankles did not creak anymore and they were more flexible, even while being in a transient position that would not be corrected for a long time, until the hip, shoulders, spine, and everything else shifted to where it should be. I can be more confident that my joints are lubricated, kept intact and able to hold up my body.
-The flesh of my torso is being pulled at every day, turning red, and has to be repaired quickly so that one day's discomforts are not carried over to the next. These supplements were a huge help for that problem.
-I could endure an increase in the intensity of the daily exercises.
- Scoliosis sufferers commonly have mangled connective tissue between the vertebrae. It would have to be constantly repaired in order to make stable changes. The components of these supplements help with exactly that.

The unique properties of each supplement are listed on their Amazon page and on the website. The ones that especially stood out were the growth factors in the Collagen and Bone Marrow, but there is obviously plenty of high-level nourishment overall that wouldn't be obtained with diet alone. The Bovine Liver in the Bovine Tracheal Cartilage supplement assists too; one of its attributes is Hyaluronic Acid for joint cushioning and lubrication. For people with joint problems, the Ancestral Supplements Beef Tallow (whenever it's available) would help as well, since it contains Cetyl Myristoleate. I currently supplement with Cetyl Myristoleate separately and cook with beef tallow.

Straightening my spine as an adult is almost more difficult than living with it at its worst. I have to stay standing, focused and moving every day regardless of how the current configuration makes me feel and I have no time to adapt and get comfortable. The challenge is to prevent regression, maintain, and to push for better positioning. These supplements make life a lot easier, together with the other supplements, good food, and the exercises. I am not currently able to work. It is now or never, to try to fix this problem in the hope for a better life. With a tight budget, I can't risk spending money on sub-par supplements.

In my personal view, the best people out there are those who put detailed thought into not just how to help people get through the day but how to help them actually create momentum for the following day. That's what I think of this company. I am glad that they help people to become genuinely stronger, in a country that currently profits more from wrongly demonizing meat and neglecting the real harms such as inflammatory soybean oil in almost every restaurant to cut costs, processed food normalized in culture and cluttering the shelves. My struggle and my experience with these supplements tuned me into the causal chains in the fabric of life, and made me wonder just how much people could benefit from products like these cushioning their lives. This could help others with idiopathic scoliosis, or perhaps be useful for preventing adult degenerative scoliosis that older people develop. What if cats and dogs were fed meat and cartilage instead of pellets, or surgery patients received this level of nourishment before and after their operations as opposed to sugary snacks? How many people are not truly lazy but mostly engulfed by fatigue, existing but never having enough of a surplus to thrive? Many people are frustrated by underlying layers of physical and emotional pain that feed one another. Where do you start if you want to intervene and untangle these layers, with day-to-day life piling on more problems? What about people with anxiety benefiting from magnesium and glycine before other methods are attempted? Not all human problems can be solved, some are very complex or permanent. Life is very fast and challenging until the end, but people could definitely be better propped up than they currently are, there is no doubt about that. The modern world brought about a lot of great innovation but some crucial things were discarded. It makes me both a bit melancholy (about the reality of vulnerability, and everything that is out-of-order and lacking) but also hopeful and grateful because there is real potential and work to be done.

I will update this review later on regarding whether or not I succeed with the entire regimen.
To Ancestral Supplements: Thanks for all that you do.

UPDATE 8/30/19

I am doing well with the Bone Marrow, so much so that I added the Liver, Thyroid and Collagen.

My blood tests are back and I AM NORMAL on all levels (I can't believe that this happened after 3 weeks!!!) except Urea Nitrogen levels which are high, which also goes with my BUN/Creatinine Ratio (Calcium) also high, my White Blood Cells which are still on the low side (3.3 Thous/UL) which is so much better than where they were 5 months ago. My Hematocrit is even normal, my red blood cell count is in the Normal Range, just within the lower end, but so much better than 5 months ago Plus, get this, my cholesterol levels, perfect. Yes, perfect.

My doctor wants to check my blood again in 4 months. But, hey, he was shocked to see what my levels were, to what I HAVE now.

This is the same doctor who wanted to wait a month from the time I started taking the AS, but moved it up to three weeks from the start date (yes, he admitted he didn't think that there would be much difference so he didn't think we needed to wait for the one month to pass).

My white blood cell count shows I am still anemic, but clearly better! My Glucose down into the Normal range! Red Blood Cells, normal.

I hope you find this as amazing as I do.

I ADDED THE ABOVE TO THIS REVIEW:

Everything is doing well. I am certain it is due to the supplements we got from Ancestral Supplements.

I wanted to give you something tangible, which I thought would need more time. After all, it has only been (almost) 3 weeks. However, my hubby's sinus problems have almost completely being cleared up. Saving money on Kleenex is a great by-product of the supplements. He is older, like me, and he does go for Chiropractic adjustments. He is not in as much pain after the adjustment. That is good. The Doctor says he is adjusting faster and without as much resistance.

I am not as tired, and have more energy. My hip gave me a "permanently handicapped" parking from the State of California, but now "¦ I can walk and feel good, and leave those parking places to those who are Handicapped. Plus I can park further away and just walk. Yesterday, for instance, I bent my hip the wrong way which would normally put me in bed for a couple of days. I had to get up after laying down for 15 minutes and walk downstairs, and wow, by the time I walked down the stairs and stretched a little, the pain was tolerable. This morning, the pain is almost totally gone. I feel like going for a walk.

I am also steadier on my feet. I used to kind of bounce off the walls of the hallway and now I am noticing I am walking straight, am not dizzy, and I feel all-around better. I could actually pass a "drunk driver" test.

We are taking Bone Marrow, Liver, and I am taking Thyroid. We have stepped up the dosage without any stomach problems, which is a miracle in itself. I will be ordering more of the Bone Marrow later this week. Since there are two of us, I don't skimp. I want to feel great, and I want my hubby to feel great, too

We are both sleeping better, I require less sleep than him. That is pretty normal. He is active, and as a musician does a lot of physical stuff.

I see too many people our age have a decreased quality of life. I was going down that trail, and I think I am getting better. Wonderful!!!

Is it unusual to feel this much better this fast? I am amazed, and keep thinking "What am I doing differently other than the Ancestral Supplements?" Nothing. Happily I believe that it is the supplements, and just want to keep getting and feeling better in exponential increments! Is this a miracle? Is it answered prayer? I think yes to both. I appreciate all the encouragement and help along the way...

I have one thing to add, and this is AMAZING. My body and white blood cells have been fighting something at the Systemic level, low T-Cells, etc. from the CIRS (Chronic Inflammation of the Respiratory System) and I constantly need to clear my throat, cough a non-productive cough, and sound like Joan Rivers when I speak. This morning, the white blood cells started fighting back. I am actually spitting up a yellow mucus! Gross, I know, but my doctor said this would be the only sign my immune system is fighting back and possibly winning. Wow!!!

I remain happier, feeling better and eternally grateful.

I have been experimenting off and on with several AS products since 2018. My condition is complex and it took me a while to figure out a good combination. I have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, MTHFR, IBS-C, and I'm one of THOSE people who could write a book of all my debillitating symptoms and system quirks ongoing since childhood, yet according to typical doctor's tests, I've always been fine. I had a concussion, and mono twice as a child and constant strep throat until they removed my tonsils at 13, but so much damage had been done and I never truly recovered good health. I struggled through my teens and 20's and then after my second child in my early 30's, my gallbladder was removed, I had mold exposure, I crashed hard, and have been essentially home bound since. That year was the perfect storm. Vertigo, brain fog, chronic fatigue, anxiety, and chronic, severe muscle pain and tension stand out as my most debillating symptoms (although as you who can relate know, there are many, many more that could be listed). Still, all my tests were normal.

I came to highly suspect histamine intolerance and adopted a strict elimination diet which improved the vertigo by 70%. I was "better" but when you come from so far in the negative healthwise, "better" can still be quite debillitated. The elimination diet mostly maintained a status quo and at least stopped me from getting worse.

Finally in 2019, after I had deviated quite a bit from my original elimination diet, I had a severe deterioration and a couple of months of daily trigeminal neuralgia type symptoms plus constant throat tightness, numbness and swelling/closing. I was diagnosed with MCAS, at the ripe old age of 40, along with several acute actual food allergies that had never been tested before. I'm incredibly grateful to that team of allergy specialists and how thorough they have been. Ultimately there isn't much they can do for me other than get me wasted on anti-histamines, but they at least found a tangible, measurable foe for me to spar with. Much better to know your enemy! I took the anti-histamines for a few months until the acute, more life-threatening symptoms subsided, but I've mostly quit them since because it's a pick-your-poison situation. The side effects of such mega doses of anti-histamines are no better than my typical daily MCAS symptoms, (they actually seem worse to me) so I'd rather do without unless I have a particularly bad day. Also, spraying Ancient Minerals Magnesium directly on my throat (on the outside) several times a week really helps keep it more relaxed and not tighten up as badly.

So, with alllll that background, when it came to AS products which we discovered in 2018, I wholeheartedly believe in them and saw intermittent benefits, but overall I struggled to digest them properly. They'd cause acid reflux; they'd add to my histamine load, even with Seeking Health DAO; they'd sit heavy in my stomach or throat; or they'd give me unpleasant side effects like dizziness, anxiety or shakiness or just general malaise. This led to very inconsistent use.

I have tried many different kinds of digestive aids over the years but *finally* just recently discovered Dr Amy's HCl. Just plain HCl, no extras. It's so hard to find stuff with no extras!!

This has been KEY to finally unlocking the power of AS. Several AS are still too strong for me right now, so after a little trial and error I finally hit upon 1 Intestines, 1 Spleen, 1 Colostrum right after a meal with Dr Amy's HCl. No side effects, felt great. Sometimes that is a coincidence so I didn't let my hopes get up too high. Next day, same regimen, no side effects, felt great. And on each day it went!!! I couldn't help becoming very hopeful at this point. I upped that combo to twice a day and then quickly added 1 Heart, 2 Thymus, 2 Collagen once a day as well.

Immediate Benefits:

1) Nasal passages cleared. No mouth breathing even though I have started this right smack in the middle of spring allergy season. 2 Doctor's Best Serrapeptase does a great job clearing the sinuses first thing in the AM, but this combo, especially Thymus, keeps them clear all day. If something does block me up again, 2 Thymus will clear it within the hour.

2) Increased energy. I'm starting from such a negative in the energy department that an improvement still leaves me in the negative. I'm not about to run any marathons. I am still doing the same minimal amount of housework as before, with a lot of rests and breaks (it's a little ridiculous to the average person!). I still have to pace myself and choose what is urgent and what can be put off one more day. BUT, throughout the day and in the evening I am experiencing a more normal level of tired. It isn't the one-foot-in-the-grave, deep cell-level, anxiety and dizziness-provoking fatigue that I used to have. It's a much more normal, tolerable, and calmer level of fatigue. This is huge; it's such an encouraging improvement and it happened quickly.

3) Raised blood pressure. My BP always sat a little low at 90/50, anytime I tested at home or at a doctor's office. I've had nurses ask if I feel ok and I'd say "well I feel a little dizzy, but I always feel a little dizzy." Within 2 days of adding in 1 Heart to the regimen my blood pressure came up to 100-110/60-70. With shocking consistency. I check at random times during the day and where I always would have seen 90/50 before, I've not seen it once since starting Heart. That's with just one a day. It's almost unbelievable. With that, a good portion of my daily dizziness is gone. I didn't realize until now how much of it was caused by low blood pressure. I can stand and sit, move and turn my head without having to baby my dizziness so much. (NOTE: Many of the Heart reviews attest to lowering their high blood pressure with this, so the Heart adapts to doing whatever it is your heart needs.)

This is a review that is 2 years into discovering AS but it is 2 weeks into finally finding what's working for me. The Kidney is still breaking my heart a little. People report such improvement in histamine reactions that I really want to take it but it is too strong for me. I end up dizzy and "histaminey" which is the opposite of what it is supposed to do. Brian suggested I try the Organs because it has 80% less Kidney in it. That worked, (thank you!) so now I have added 1 Organs as well and will try to build it up. I anticipate any significant healing to take several years with a health history like mine but these beginning improvements are more encouraging than anything else I have ever tried. (And I am stubborn! I have tried a lot.)

(Although this review encompasses several products, I've placed it here because the Organs probably have the highest visibility. I've given many details because I know what it's like to be so desperate and needing so badly to hear encouraging stories with details you can relate to.)

It's been a week so far on the supplements, and I am impressed. Not much impresses me. On the first day taking them, I was very optimistic which was a great foundation mentally to start with. I don't pay tribute to "magic pills" yet I am intrigued with what this is all about to help aid our physical bodies and mind in the right direction and environment. It's actual food supplementing processed in a very specific way. Very different than conventional "vitamins" which my body seems to refuse to absorb.

On day two, I went to a local owned grocery and my vision became blurry and I became faint. Hit me out of nowhere. I looked ahead of me and there was this small refrigerator with those glass doors. One bottle stood out in perfect vision. My mouth began salivating and I did not even know what it was as I being too far away to read it. I walked over and pulled it out. Was a bottle of grass fed organic Keifer. I've never had it, never noticed it before. When I got to my pick up truck, I opened it up and just started drinking it instinctively. Wasn't even ten seconds and I was in a bliss state of mind. My mind was clear, stomach happy (only way to describe it) and I sat there wondering what just happened smiling. It's been a long time since my gut has been happy.

So far, my body has begun to become stronger. I can feel it in my muscles and tendons. My right hip has stopped popping out of place, and my left very little. My knees were locking up and out, and that has stopped with minimal cracking already. My lower spine that I have been suffering with has eased and relaxed. It feels like my bones are healing within, muscles and tendons becoming stronger, and it's only been a week. I am able to do my home physical therapy with much more strength. My stomach does flare up a bit, but nothing as it's been as I'm changing over to a more carnivore diet and foregoing starches and sugar. I have almost no cravings for them which is making this transition feel quite natural.
I've thoroughly gone through your site and blog, and implemented the hot/cold shower in the morning as suggested. Whoa! Not only does it have a very positive physical response, but mentally disciplining and empowering also. It also brought back fun memories as a child jumping in lakes that are cold in Alaska during summer and laughing having fun. As kids we didn't care, just wanted to be in the water. That part of me came back to life.

Thank you for what you and this company are doing. I finally know that I am in the perfect direction regarding physical health to get back to nature and our roots. It's only been a week, and tears of happiness stream down my face just writing this. I can vison myself getting back to the strong physical woman that I use to be, and care for my children better carrying the weight of the physical labor with my spouse that living in Alaska demands to get things done.
