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.
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.
