Primal Bones - Bone Matrix FAQs
What Nutrients Are Naturally Found in Beef Bone Supplements?
Beef bone provides a unique whole-food source of minerals and proteins in the same natural ratios found in healthy bone tissue. When gently freeze-dried and encapsulated, it retains its naturally occurring nutrient profile without the need for synthetic additives or fillers.
Key nutrients naturally present in beef bone supplements include:
- Calcium – necessary for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth
- Phosphorus – works with calcium to support bone structure and strength
- Magnesium – contributes to normal muscle and nerve function
- Zinc – important for cell growth, tissue repair, and immune support
- Copper & Manganese – involved in connective tissue formation and antioxidant defence
- Collagen proteins – provide structural support for bones and joints
These nutrients come directly from 100% grass-fed Australian cattle — no synthetics, no preservatives, just whole-food bone nutrition in a convenient capsule form.
Can I use Primal Bones each day?
Yes, Primal Bones is made from 100% grass-fed Australian cattle and contains only the natural bone matrix in its whole-food form. It’s free from synthetic additives and designed to complement a balanced diet.
As with any nutrient-dense food, it’s best enjoyed as part of your daily wellness routine. If you have specific dietary requirements, simply check with your healthcare professional.
Do I need vitamin K2 or D3 with Primal Bones?
Primal Bones delivers the natural mineral matrix of bone (calcium, phosphorus, and trace elements) in a form your body easily recognises. Because MCHA comes from whole bone, it’s already well absorbed and doesn’t depend on synthetic cofactors.
That said, vitamins D3 and K2 help guide calcium’s natural flow within the body. Vitamin D3 supports absorption, while K2 helps direct it into bone tissue. You can find these nutrients naturally in foods like liver, egg yolks, butter, and fatty fish, or simply through time in the sun.
How Do Beef Bone Supplements Taste?
Most people find beef bone capsules virtually tasteless. They’re an easy and convenient way to get the benefits of bovine nutrients without the flavour. Simply swallow with water, just like any other supplement.
When Is the Best Time to Take Beef Bone Supplements?
There’s no single best time to take beef bone supplements, consistency matters most. Because they’re a natural source of calcium and supporting minerals, many people prefer to take them:
- With meals – taking them alongside food may help with absorption and is easier on the stomach.
- As part of your routine – choose a time that helps you remember to take them consistently, whether with breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
How Long Does It Take to Notice the Effects of Beef Bone Supplements?
Beef bone supplements provide calcium, phosphorus, collagen and trace minerals in their natural food form. These nutrients work gradually, supporting bone health as part of a balanced diet and lifestyle. Because they contribute to long-term maintenance rather than delivering immediate effects, consistency over weeks and months is what makes the real difference.
Everyone’s needs are different, some may feel benefits such as easier calcium intake or improved diet balance sooner, while for others the impact is more subtle and long-term. For individual advice, it’s best to consult a qualified health professional.
Are Your Beef Bone Products Free From Bovaer® Feed Additives?
Yes, our beef bone 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.
Do You Sell Certified Organic Organs?
We often get this question, but the truth is, certified organic organs simply don’t meet our standards for nutritional density, animal welfare, or sustainability. Here’s why:
1. Animal Welfare:
Most Australian organic cattle are raised in arid central regions where only drought-tolerant breeds can survive. These harsh conditions often lead to stressed animals, which can negatively affect organ quality. In contrast, our cattle are raised on lush, rotational pastures in temperate climates.
2. Nutrient Quality:
Certified “Organic” doesn’t guarantee nutrient density. Many organic farms use broad-spectrum fertilisers without soil-specific analysis. We work with trained agronomists who test and manage soil health to maximise nutrient uptake in grasses, and ultimately in the organs.
3. Sustainability:
To meet organic certification, some producers use unsustainable inputs like prawn meal scraped from ocean floors, cheap, compliant, but ecologically harmful. Our approach focuses on true regenerative practices, not certification checkboxes.
We don’t chase labels. We chase results. Learn more on our quality page here.
Are Beef Bones a Good Source of Calcium?
Yes, beef bones are a natural source of calcium, one of the key minerals needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. In their whole-food form, bones also provide phosphorus and trace minerals in the same natural 2:1 ratio found in healthy skeletal tissue. When freeze-dried and encapsulated, they offer a convenient way to include naturally occurring calcium as part of a balanced diet.
Can I Use Beef Bone Supplements While Pregnant?
Beef bone supplements provide naturally occurring calcium, phosphorus, protein and trace minerals from whole-food bone. While these nutrients are important during pregnancy, individual requirements can vary greatly.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it’s best to seek advice from a qualified health professional before using any supplement, including beef bone capsules, to ensure it’s suitable for your personal needs.
How Are Your Beef Bone Supplements Made?
Our beef bones are sourced from 100% grass-fed Australian cattle. The bones are carefully cleaned, crushed then gently freeze-dried to preserve their natural nutrient profile, including calcium, phosphorus, protein, and trace minerals.
Once dried, the bone material is milled into a fine powder and encapsulated with no synthetic additives, fillers, or preservatives. This process ensures you’re getting whole-food bone nutrition in a convenient and bioavailable form, just as nature intended.

6 Benefits of Eating Beef Liver
Beef liver is known to be a true superfood and one of the most concentrated sources of vitamin A and B-12. In addition to containing dozens of important vitamins and minerals, it is an outstanding source of Vitamin D, B-vitamins, copper, potassium, magnesium, phosphorous, manganese, and heme iron, which is in a form that is particularly easily absorbed and used by the body.
Learn more about the benefits of beef liver below:
1. Skin Health: Beef liver contains retinol which is the active form of Vitamin A that helps in skin nourishment. Beef liver can be used to support for acne, mostly caused by hormonal imbalances, chronic inflammation, poor gut health and free radical exposure. Vitamin A is fat-soluble and helps in addressing acne by:
- Reducing the size of the oil-producing glands that block pores.
- Help in healing the acne scars faster.
- Regulates shedding process of the skin.
- It's an antioxidant hence protects the skin against free radicals.
- Helps to reduce inflammation thus making the skin look smooth and nourished.
In addition to skin nourishment with Vitamin A, beef liver supplements also contain high amounts of glycine and copper, helping to maintain the collagen levels under our skin. Collagen helps to reduce skin wrinkles by plumping and firming the underlying skin tissues.
2. Helps in Strengthening Bones: Beef liver supplements are rich in Vitamin K2, which assists in calcium balance. Calcium is adequate for bone formation and strength, but when incorporated with vitamin K2, it is directed by K2 into bones and keeps calcium out of arterial walls.
3. Detoxification: is the removal of toxic chemicals and substances from our bodies, and the liver carries it out by use of a mineral called molybdenum. The mineral acts as a coenzyme in the conversion of sulfates from sulfites and metabolism of drugs and alcohols.
4. High in Antioxidants: Antioxidants like vitamin A, C and E prevent our body cells from being oxidised by oxidative reactive species of free radicals such as UV ray beams, inflammation caused by them and cigarette smoke etc. The antioxidants, therefore, support cellular health.
5. Rich in CoQ10: Beef liver supplements are a rich source of CoQ10, found primarily in the mitochondria. CoQ10 is associated with cardiovascular health, vascular health and blood pressure. CoQ10 also improves sperm and egg quality, endurance and lowers inflammation. Liver supplements can be useful to support healthy ageing by keeping up CoQ10 levels since they reduce with age.
6. Beef Liver is Excellent Source of Active Vitamin A: Beef liver is rich in vitamin A, as we mentioned above. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble, antioxidant and supports skin health, thyroid, eye health, and enhances immunity among other metabolic functions. Vitamin A also has retinol which is essential for skin health.
Beef Liver Offers These Energy-Promoting Nutrients
Beef liver offers the specific vitamins and minerals that play a critical role in making healthy red blood cells which is the key to enjoying all-day energy. In this article we dig deep into the benefits of beef liver supplements for energy and also discuss the other benefits that consuming beef organs offer.
If you're feeling fatigued and have tried iron supplements that didn't help, you're not alone. It's now clear that certain vitamins and minerals play a critical role in making healthy red blood cells for oxygen production while also producing ATP (Energy). It's also important to note that fatigue is much more than just a deficiency of iron. The vitamins and minerals that are contained in beef liver and central to supporting our energy systems are:
- B Vitamins (in particular B12)
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin C
- Iron
- Magnesium
- Zinc
As listed above beef liver supplements offer heme iron among other minerals and in combination with folate and Vitamin B12 help to naturally overcome anaemia and prevent fatigue, irregular menstrual cycles and neurological issues. Iron supplementation is often recommended to menstruating females, nursing mothers and vegetarians / vegans who need iron in their diets.
The Complete Guide To Vitamin B12
What is Vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12 (also known as Cobalamin) is an essential B vitamin vitamin that your body needs but cannot produce. It is one of 8 B vitamins crucial for nerve tissue health, brain function, and the production of red blood cells. It is the largest and most structurally complicated vitamin and is water-soluble, like all other B vitamins. This means it can dissolve in water and travel through the bloodstream.
Signs of Vitamin B12 Deficiency
A deficiency can occur when levels of vitamin B12 become too low to meet the demands of the body which can lead to a number of symptoms and can even progress to irreversible neurological issues if left untreated. Vitamin B12 deficiencies are becoming increasingly more common with symptoms including:
- Tiredness & fatigue
- Mood changes & depression
- Brain fog & memory problems
- Pale Skin
- Low energy or anemia
- Low iron levels
Unlike some other B vitamins, B12 is not found in any plant food other than fortified cereals which makes it difficult for people following a strict vegetarian diet to get the necessary amount of vitamin B12.
6 Important Functions of Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 may benefit your body in a number of ways, such as by boosting your energy, improving memory, and supporting heart health. The key benefits of vitamin B12 include:
- Helps with red blood cell formation and anemia prevention
- May improve mood and symptoms of depression
- Can support a healthy pregnancy
- May improve heart health by decreasing homocysteine
- Supports normal functioning of the brain and nervous system
- Supports healthy hair, skin, and nails
Vitamin B12 Recommended Dosage
Vitamin B12 has a specific recommended daily amount that varies depending on sex, age, and other factors like pregnancy. For women and men, the recommended daily intake (RDI) is as follows:
- Woman: 2.4mcg
- Men: 2.4mcg
Note: If you are deficient in B vitamins, you may need to supplement with higher doses to address the deficiency.
How to Supplement Vitamin B12 with Freeze-Dried Beef Liver
If you are looking for a whole food and bio-available supplement that includes Vitamin B12 as well as a myriad of critical nutrients look no further than desiccated beef organ supplements.
Organ meats are THE most concentrated source of just about every nutrient, including vitamins, minerals, healthy fats and essential amino acids.
Our Primal Energy Beef liver supplements are certified grass-fed and finished, 100% hormone, antibiotic and GMO-free. They provide nose to tail nourishment, are freeze-dried to preserve nutrients and are 100% grass-fed from the pristine Tasmanian pastures.
How Beef Liver Supports Your Vitamin A Intake
Understanding Vitamin A
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin found in two forms: preformed vitamin A (retinol) from animal sources and provitamin A carotenoids from plant-based foods. Retinol is readily used by the body without conversion, making it a more bioavailable source of vitamin A.
What Vitamin A Does in the Body
Vitamin A plays a key role in:
- Supporting normal vision
- Contributing to a healthy immune system
- Helping maintain healthy skin and mucous membranes
Beef Liver: A Natural Source of Vitamin A
Beef liver is one of the richest food sources of preformed vitamin A (retinol). A 100-gram serving provides a substantial amount of your recommended daily intake. Just 4 capsules of our freeze-dried beef liver deliver approximately 240 mcg of vitamin A.
Australian RDI for Vitamin A
The recommended intake of vitamin A varies by age and life stage. For adults, it ranges from 700 mcg (women) to 900 mcg (men) per day (retinol activity equivalents, RAE), according to the NHMRC.
