Ancestral Supplements Grass Fed Blood is Blood, Liver & Spleen Formula, 500mg, Grass Fed Beef Supplement, Red & White Blood Cell Formation, Immune and Heart Health Support, Non GMO, 180 Capsules

I held out to be sure before writing this review… my health started declining during pregnancy and my labs showed low iron amongst other things but my provider didn’t feel it was low enough to be actionable. After 4 days sleeping away on the couch with no energy to take care of myself or family I researched natural iron supplements and came across heme iron (animal blood based iron) I had used ancestral in the past but had too much pharmaceuticals going to know if it helped. So this time around I ordered this brand again since I’m only on one prescribed medication. The bottle advised 6 pills a day well I chose to half that amount, and it worked like a charm!!! The capsules are a bit large and the taste is awful but if you put a flavored drink in your mouth then capsules, swallow, and chase it with more flavored drink you don’t quit notice any of these issues. I usually take it right before I eat to avoid burping the taste which is honestly mild compared to some supplements. I have had no side effects like constipation that come with regular iron supplements from a pharmacy. I got my energy back and life is enjoyable again. My provider seemed impressed with my turn of health and took a look at the bottle of these I brought in and gave her seal of approval. I definitely notice if I forget to take these the day prior because I start feeling like I strongly need a nap. I completely recommend this to anyone struggling with anemia or iron deficiency. It’s clean natural ingredients are a huge added bonus for me as well.

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)TallowBone MarrowLiving 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)HeartBlood 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???)LiverFish EggsUnfortunately 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.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.

You can always tell a REALLY GOOD or a really bad product from reviews. It takes allot to impress people to stop whatever they’re doing and write a lengthy summary of their experience with a product. That being said, if your not into reading extensive reviews, I’ll simply state this before continuing: Buy these supplements to see (or jumpstart) a positive change in your health! Although everybody is different and I can only speak for my own experience, please know that this many people would not be leaving good reviews, unless the product was THAT life changing.For myself, I actually happened upon Ancestral Supplements after a short hospital stay and a prayer. The week of Christmas I found myself being admitted to the ER, due to a soaring blood pressure and dwindled hemoglobin level. Aside from stress, my cycle for the past few years was out of control, with scary clotting and heavy bleeding. I’d gone through a series of prescriptions with my doctor, including iron tablets and even birth control. Neither of them could end this horrific monthly experience of prolonged pain and excessive loss of the very substance that gives us life and energy. According to my blood work I was scarily nearing a possible blood transfusion, if something didn’t change. When I got home, I was so fatigued I could barely stay awake more then a few hours, before wanting to fall back asleep. By the next week, I took some time to lookup natural remedies to help combat loss of iron and bring my hemoglobin level back up. While I’d always been slightly anemic when I was younger, this was frightening as I’d never suffered any of the symptoms I experienced that previous week. My heartbeat felt like it was racing, I thought I would black out, and my blood pressure was dangerously high. Remembering all these things, I said a prayer and asked God to help me find something to fix this, since the teas, herbs, and prescriptions given hadn’t yielded much results. I can’t even tell you what I typed, but somehow the google result recommended the Ancestral Supplements Blood Vitality in the first search result. I leaned in and started reading the ingredients, where the products were sourced, how they were made and ultimately to all of the other five-star reviews. I was amazed already, but what prompted me to buy were the reviews from two others stating how it regulated theirs (or a family member’s) cycle. I clicked buy and received my bottle the very next day! I was so thankful to not have to go another week without addressing my issue. Note that during this time, I was also doing my best to increase iron intake with more green vegetables, smoothies, and iron tablets and those still weren’t helping quickly enough.I took the Blood Vitality pills the next morning, starting out with three, then building up to four, and finally six (I was also taking Floradix liquid supplement at that beginning stage, as I had some prior to the supplements coming in). By the two week mark, I felt so much more energetic and focused. I even noticed my reading and clarity were better during class. It was the clearest I’d felt in a long time, since an accident I had four or five years prior. Now here I was, simply taking the right vitamins to help me gain back what some doctors, prescriptions, and therapy couldn’t do: get better. I noticed the change in my cycle when it actually delayed it about another week. I was used to having very heavy cycles almost every fourteen days, and lasting seven (if I was lucky). On just the first cycle, the supplements were already working! I finally had a normal cycle within the 21 to 28 day range, with less bleeding than what my body had unfortunately become custom to! For the first time in years I was in the norm, with energy to spare, less cramping and discomfort, and not always wanting to sleep.I truly can’t begin to thank the people behind this product. You’ve changed my life for the better, and relieved my of a problem that’s been affecting my life for years. Thank you!When you read the testimonials of so many people, affected by health issues finding relief or outright healing, just by being introduced to the right supplements it makes you question everything. Just how important is what I put into my body? Are there other ways to heal besides just prescription medicine? What does it mean to care for my overall health? Know that I believe these supplements can make a difference for anyone taking them. Of course consult your doctor first, research the product, but always give room for faith and understanding that the best medicine sometimes can come from just what we eat and a nature provided source.

This supplement gives me an increased sense of energy, vitality and well-being. It's one of the few supplements that I can actually feel the results the same day I take it! I will be sure to keep this one on hand indefinitely.
