Beef spleen is a traditional food that is used in many cuisines around the world, rich in protein, heme iron and healthy fats. Heme Iron can only be obtained from red meat and is iron derived from haemoglobin already attached to protein that is highly bioavailable, meaning it gets straight into the blood stream. Heme deficiency can cause aneamia, porphyrias and alzheimers.*[7}
Our pasture raised freeze-dried spleen from Grass-Fed Australian cattle sourced from Lake Eyre provides the benefits of this healing food, containing all of the known nutrients that naturally occur in a healthy spleen, including minerals, peptides and special nutritional factors.
The spleen has three major jobs.
1. First, it breaks down and removes old and damaged red blood cells.
2. It also holds a reserve of blood that can be released into the circulatory system to meet a sudden demand, such as bleeding haemorrhage.
3. It also provides some white cells to fight infection.
The spleen is an important part of the body's defence (immune) system. It contains special white blood cells that destroy bacteria and help the body fight infections when you are sick. Spleen extract is used by people with low white blood cell counts, cancer, infections, or HIV related infections. Take spleen extract to boost the immune system. Spleen extract is also used to support autoimmune function, rheumatoid arthritis, blood disorders and blood vessel health. *[5]
Spleen also contain high levels of a class of lipids known as alkylglycerols (AKGs for short). AKGs serve as powerful immune system boosters, helping to strengthen the immune system. If you want to know more about this amazing compound, try Googling about "Dr Astrid Brohult“
Unique peptides such as tuftsin & splenopentin have shown to enhance and modulate immune health. While tuftsin stimulates macrophages and other defensive cells, deficiency of tuftsin is linked to bacterial infections *[1] [2]
Spleen extracts & splenin (a peptide from spleen) further support immune health by increasing the number of neutrophils and macrophages *[1]
Traditional cultures believed consuming like for like organs contain similar cofactors to human organs that may strengthen and support our own spleen. Spleen is concentrated in iron and particularly high in the amino acid tryptophan.
The spleen represents the largest mass of lymphatic tissue, and in humans it reaches full functional capacity in young adults. The spleen produces unique peptides such as tuftsin, (4 amino acids) and splenopentin (5 amino acids) to enhance immune system. Spleen extracts and splenin, a peptide from spleen, further support the immune system. While Tuftsin stimulates macrophages and other defensive cells, deficiency of tuftsin is linked to bacterial infections.
Bovine spleen extracts have historically been taken by people with allergic reactions (hives, canker sores, cold blisters), lymph node swelling, blood concerns (anemia, lymphocytosis), demineralization accompanied by hyperirritability, as well as those with lowered resistance to infections and boils [14]. Some have suggested that bovine spleen “may aid in the elimination of allergic breakouts” [6]. The spleen also metabolises certain parts of the blood, like haemoglobin removed from erythrocytes, and circulates blood and lymph nodes. N.p., 09 Dec. 2014. Clients of Holistic Practitioners have reported that after 6 weeks of taking spleen capsules, their digestive issues have been resolved and their iron levels have improved.
The elegance of animal physiology is that glands secrete peptides and other chemical-like substances that exert downstream effects at the cellular level. If one has a certain organ / gland removed, the body still expects those peptides and other chemical-like substances at the cellular level. What's more is that many of our functional healthcare practitioner accounts use glandular therapy for this exact purpose... that is, to provide the otherwise absent glandular nourishment that our cells need and expect for strength, health and happiness.
Why isn't there any Australian Certified Organic Number?
NXGEN source material from farms that exceeds the Australian Organic Standard, from regenerative Australian Farms.
Organic may mean the cattle have also been fed organic grains, hence we will be careful to buy ONLY Organic Grass Fed Meat. The Australian Certified Organic Standard doesn’t differentiate between cattle fed organic grains and grass fed. All the meat selected to use in NXGEN product must first and foremost be from 100% Grass Fed Cattle, grown on regenerative farms, free of pesticides, antibiotics, herbicides, drenches and other chemicals.
How much Heme Iron is in a serve of Nxgen Organic Spleen?
Heme iron is derived mainly from haemoglobin and myoglobin in animal tissue. There is a proximate value of 12.5mg bioavailable heme iron per serve. (all information provided by Nxgen Wholefoods)
