Ancestral Nutrition Primal Iron
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in Australia, and it disproportionately affects women. The conventional response is a synthetic iron supplement — ferrous sulfate, ferrous fumarate, or similar compounds that often come with a well-documented downside: nausea, constipation, bloating, and gut discomfort that makes people stop taking them before their levels have recovered.
Ancestral Nutrition's Primal Iron takes a fundamentally different approach. Instead of a synthetic compound, it delivers iron the way the human body evolved to receive it — from whole food, in heme form, from one of the most iron-dense organs in the animal kingdom: the beef spleen.
Beef spleen is nature's most concentrated dietary source of heme iron. Heme iron — the form found in animal tissue — is absorbed far more efficiently by the body than non-heme iron from plants or synthetic supplements, and it does so without competing with other minerals for absorption pathways. The result is meaningful iron replenishment that is gentler on the digestive system and better tolerated, even by people who have struggled with synthetic iron for years.
Each serving of Primal Iron delivers 11.5mg of naturally occurring heme iron, alongside the broader nutritional matrix of the whole organ — B-group vitamins, trace minerals, and organ-specific peptides and enzymes that work synergistically to support energy production, oxygen transport, and immune function. This isn't an isolated nutrient — it's a whole food that happens to be exceptionally rich in iron.
The spleen is sourced exclusively from 100% grass-fed, grass-finished Tasmanian cattle — animals raised on open pastures with no hormones, antibiotics, or GMOs. The gentle low-temperature freeze-drying process removes moisture without heat, preserving the full nutrient integrity of the raw organ. Manufactured in-house at Ancestral Nutrition's Tasmanian facility with full supply chain control and third-party testing for purity and potency.
