Kidney Beef

Kidney Beef (100 capsules)

Kidney Beef Natural Glandular
Provides kidney tissue. Our natural glandular material is derived from government-inspected, range-fed animals, raised in New Zealand and Australia, whose animal husbandry regulations are among the strictest in the world. The material is lyophilized, which means it is immediately frozen, then subjected to a high vacuum that vaporizes moisture directly from the solid state. Formulated by Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez M.D.

Supportive for

• Healthy kidney function
• Healthy blood pressure
• Healthy bone formation
• Healthy stress resilience
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Healthy fluid balance

Kidney Beef function in the body

• Remove waste products and excess fluid from the body
• Regulate salt and potassium levels as well as maintain pH
• Produce erythropoeitin to stimulate new RBC production
• Convert vitamin D to its active form 
• Produce renin (a crucial component of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system) which helps to maintain blood pressure
• Responsive to many other hormones including vitamin D, aldosterone, prostaglandins, cortisol, parathyroid hormone and calcitonin 

In Chinese medicine the kidneys store the “jing” or “essence” which can transform into the life force energy known as “Qi”. Dietary beef kidney is rich in vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins, iron, selenium, calcium, copper and zinc

Throughout human history, most humans have consumed the organs of the animals they eat. Indigenous cultures worldwide have valued organ meats for their life-giving properties . Organ meats (a.k.a. offal) are some of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. They provide nutrients that cannot be obtained through muscle meats alone.The practice of eating organ meats in Western culture has declined dramatically over the past 150 years. By the early 20th century, consumption of organ meats was rare in middle and upper-class American households. The introduction of factory farming during the industrial revolution from the mid-19th century onward allowed for abundant domesticated animal meat in the market. Meat, in general, became more affordable and available to the middle class. Simultaneously, organ meat fell in popularity. This is all to the detriment of our health, however. In addition to their high nutrient density, organ meats, and tissues have been theorized to provide cellular information,potentially altering gene expression, for organ homeostasis and repair, through various potential mechanisms such as microRNAs or exosomes . Indeed, organ extracts have been used with clinical success for well over a century, particularly the use of thyroid glandular in hypothyroidism. The motivation for isolation of the active constituents, coupled with a desire to prepare a standardized extract with a consistent dose, drove the pharmaceutical industry to create such products in the early 20th century. However, many patients and clinicians alike have found that synthetic and isolated constituent products only sometimes work as well as the extracts of the whole organ. Leaders in the field of glandular medicine hypothesize that other synergistic constituents are contained in the whole organ, which creates a greater healing effect (as is often seen when the whole organ is taken compared to the synthetic, isolated constituent product alone). We at ARG are dedicated to the continuation of the practice of preparing the whole organ and glandular extracts that have supported so many throughout history. It is vital that the animals be raised humanely as well as pastured to be the healthiest they can be. For that reason, we only source animals raised with the strictest farming practices. With the exception of our adrenal cortex (which is sourced from Argentina, a BSE-free country), we primarily use glandular tissue obtained from government-inspected, range-grazed animals, raised in Australia and New Zealand, where animal husbandry regulations are among the strictest in the world.
