Primal Iron - Grass Fed Beef Spleen

Nutritionally speaking, they are virtually identical. The only real difference is the removal of water, which actually makes the freeze-dried powder a highly concentrated source of nutrition.

We use a gentle, chemical-free freeze-drying process. This safely extracts the moisture from the raw organ while completely locking in its powerful, naturally occurring nutritional profile, including its exceptionally high levels of bioavailable heme iron.

Because the water weight has been removed, our freeze-dried spleen powder is incredibly nutrient-dense. Taking our daily capsules provides the exact same foundational nutrition as eating premium, fresh raw spleen, but in a highly convenient form that skips the challenging taste, texture, and meal prep!

Yes, it can be a fantastic way to support their growing bodies. The teenage years come with additional nutritional demands—fuelled by rapid growth spurts, highly active lifestyles, and, for young women, the increased nutritional needs that come with menstruation.

Because Primal Iron is simply 100% pure, freeze-dried beef spleen, it acts just like a nutrient-dense whole food. It provides a highly bioavailable source of naturally occurring heme iron and essential B-vitamins. Unlike synthetic options, which can be harsh on digestion our whole-food iron is incredibly gentle on a teenager's system.

It is a safe, natural way to support their daily energy and foundational health. However, because every teenager's nutritional needs and development rates are completely unique, we always recommend checking in with your healthcare practitioner or family doctor before introducing any new supplement to ensure it perfectly supports their individual growth and to determine the ideal daily serving size.

Beef spleen is a traditional wholefood valued for its unique nutrient profile, particularly its naturally occurring heme iron and vitamin B12. When freeze-dried, it retains its full spectrum of nutrients in a form the body can readily absorb — with no synthetic additives or fillers.

Key Nutrients Naturally Found in Beef Spleen:

• Heme Iron – supports normal oxygen transport and contributes to energy production
• Vitamin B12 – essential for red blood cell formation and healthy nervous system function
• Zinc & Copper – involved in immune health and antioxidant activity
• Selenium – supports normal thyroid function and cellular defence
• Small amounts of Vitamin C – naturally present in raw spleen
• Peptides and enzymes – including splenin, which are naturally occurring in this organ

Our beef spleen comes from 100% grass-fed, grass-finished Tasmanian cattle and is freeze-dried in small batches for maximum purity and potency.

Beef spleen supplements are available in both capsule and powder form — and the taste experience can vary depending on which you choose.

• Capsules: Most people find beef spleen capsules virtually tasteless. They’re an easy and convenient way to get the benefits of organ meats without the flavour. Simply swallow with water, just like any other supplement.
• Powder: Freeze-dried beef spleen powder has a rich, earthy flavour that’s true to its natural source. While some people enjoy the taste in savoury blends, others prefer to mix it into smoothies, broths, or sauces to mask the flavour.

Whether you choose capsules or powder, beef spleen is valued more for its nutrient density than its taste.Tip: If you're sensitive to taste, capsules are the most neutral option.

Beef spleen supplements can be taken at any time of day, but many people prefer to take them in the morning or with their first meal to support daily nutrient intake and energy metabolism.

Because beef spleen is naturally rich in vitamin B12, iron, and other energising nutrients, taking it earlier in the day may help align with your body’s natural rhythm and avoid any potential for overstimulation at night.

Tips for Best Results:

• With food: Taking beef spleen with/after a meal may help improve absorption.
• Consistency matters: Regular daily use is more important than timing — choose a time that fits your routine.
• Start slow: If you're new to beef organs, begin with a smaller dose and gradually increase as tolerated.

Beef spleen supplements are a wholefood source of nutrients, not synthetic isolates — making them suitable for long-term daily support.

The timeline for noticing the benefits of beef spleen supplements can vary from person to person. It often depends on your current iron and B12 status, dietary habits, and overall lifestyle.

Because beef spleen is a natural source of heme iron, vitamin B12, and supportive trace minerals like zinc and copper, some individuals may feel a shift in energy, stamina, or general wellbeing within a few weeks. For others, it may take longer as the body gradually rebuilds nutrient stores.

Factors That May Influence Your Experience:

• Nutrient status: If you're not getting enough iron or B12 from food, you may notice changes sooner.
• Consistency: Whether you use capsules or powder, taking your supplement daily is key.
• Overall diet: Pairing beef spleen with a nutrient-dense, wholefood diet may support better outcomes.

As with any wholefood supplement, beef spleen works best when taken consistently over time as part of a balanced approach to wellbeing — not as a quick fix.

Yes — our beef liver products are sourced from 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, pasture-raised Tasmanian cattle that are not supplemented with Bovaer® or other synthetic feed additives.

We work closely with local farms that focus on natural, traditional grazing practices. This ensures the purity of our products while maintaining full transparency across the supply chain — from paddock to capsule.

No hormones, no antibiotics, no synthetic feed additives — just real food the way nature intended.

While we source our organs exclusively from pristine, pasture-raised cattle in Tasmania, we do not rely on "certified organic" labels. Here is why:

Organic certification is a promise about how the farm is managed, but it does not guarantee that the final capsule is actually free from environmental contaminants. We prefer proof over promises.

Instead of paying for an organic logo, we invest in rigorous, independent lab testing. We screen our finished products using state-of-the-art ICP-MS technology to test for 32 heavy metals (like Lead and Mercury) and agricultural chemicals (like Glyphosate) to guarantee absolute purity.

You never have to take our word for it, you can view our unedited, zero-glyphosate lab results right here.

Yes — beef spleen is one of the richest natural sources of heme iron, the form most easily absorbed and used by the human body. A small daily serve provides meaningful amounts of iron to support your dietary intake through real, nutrient-dense food.

Iron contributes to:

• Normal energy production and reduction of tiredness and fatigue
• Healthy oxygen transport via red blood cells
• The formation of haemoglobin
• Normal immune system function

Because it comes in its heme form, the iron in beef spleen is significantly more bioavailable than the non-heme iron found in many plant-based foods.

Our beef spleen is sourced from 100% grass-fed, grass-finished Australian cattle and gently freeze-dried to preserve its naturally occurring nutrients — with no additives or fillers.

Beef spleen is a natural source of important nutrients like heme iron, vitamin B12, zinc, and selenium — all of which play supportive roles during pregnancy. These nutrients are present in their wholefood form, making beef spleen a valuable addition to a nutrient-dense diet for some women.

Unlike beef liver, beef spleen contains no vitamin A, making it an appealing alternative for those mindful of retinol intake during pregnancy.

In Australia, the Recommended Dietary Intake (RDI) for iron during pregnancy is 22–27 mg per day, and for vitamin B12 it is 2.6 µg per day. A standard 3-capsule serve of freeze-dried beef spleen delivers approximately 11.5 mg of ironand a meaningful amount of vitamin B12, helping support these needs through real food.

As always, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before adding beef spleen supplements to your routine during pregnancy, to ensure they align with your individual dietary needs and prenatal care plan.

Wholefood organ supplements like beef spleen can offer nutritional value — but every pregnancy is different, and personalised advice is best.

Our beef spleen supplements are made using a careful, low-temperature freeze-drying process that preserves the natural integrity of the nutrients — without the use of heat, additives, or synthetic preservatives.

Here’s how we do it:

Step-by-Step Production Process:

• 1. Sourced Locally: We use 100% grass-fed & grass-finished, pasture-raised beef spleen from Tasmanian farms that meet strict animal welfare and food safety standards.
• 2. Fresh Processing: The spleen is trimmed, gently cleaned, and frozen shortly after harvest to maintain freshness and nutrient quality.
• 3. Freeze-Dried for Potency: Through sublimation, moisture is removed at low temperatures to preserve heat-sensitive vitamins like B12 and folate.
• 4. Milled and Encapsulated (or Powdered): The dried spleen is finely ground and packed into capsules or jars — with no binders, fillers, or flow agents.
• 5. Packed in Our Byron Bay Facility: We manufacture in-house to maintain full control over quality and consistency, from raw ingredient to finished product.

Every batch is third-party tested for safety and packaged in our purpose-built Byron Bay facility — ensuring transparency, traceability, and trust.

Both capsules and powder deliver the same core benefits of beef spleen — but differ in format, convenience, and flexibility, depending on your lifestyle and preferences.

Beef Spleen Capsules:

• Pre-measured and easy to take
• No taste or smell — ideal if you’re sensitive to flavour
• Great for travel or daily routines
• Offers consistent dosage (e.g. 1.8g = 3 capsules)

Beef Spleen Powder:

• Versatile for adding to food (e.g. smoothies, bone broth, patties)
• Slightly more economical per gram
• Mild organ flavour — best for those who are comfortable with natural tastes
• Allows flexible dosing for families or pets

Whether you prefer convenience or culinary creativity, both formats provide the same freeze-dried, nutrient-dense spleen — sourced from grass-fed & grass-finished Australian cattle and made without additives or fillers.
