Beef Organ Supplement Detox Reactions

When following an ancestral diet and consuming beef organ supplements, most people have no issues using them and do great!

 

However, a small number of people may experience a detoxification reaction. 

 

Detoxification reactions go by many different names, including healing reactions, healing crises, cleansing reactions, or Herxheimer reactions. These may include symptoms of:

 

• Headaches

• Lethargy

• Temporary muscle aches

• Mucus or other discharge

• A coated, pasty tongue

• Flu-like symptoms

• Irritability

• Difficulty sleeping

• Weakness

• Cravings

• Nausea

• Constipation

• Diarrhea

• Flatulence

• Rashes / Hives / Itchy Skin

• Low energy levels

• Frequent urination

• Lethary

• Dizziness

 

A detoxification reaction is more likely to occur when starting with the full suggested serving size of four to six capsules per day too quickly, before your body has time to adapt. If you are taking organ supplements for the first time or know that you are sensitive to supplements and/or you have an autoimmune condition, it is recommended to start slow.

 

To allow your body to adjust, we recommend gradually increasing your daily serving size. Always take the capsules with plenty of water and food if you are sensitive.

• Week 1: Take one capsule per day.

• Week 2: Take two capsules per day (one in the morning and one in the afternoon, with food).

• Subsequent Weeks: Continue to increase the daily serving by one capsule each week until you reach the desired maintenance serving of four to six capsules per day.

This progressive method typically takes three to four weeks to reach the full serving size.

 

If tolerability remains an issue with just one or two capsules a day, another product may be a better match for you. A great one to use in this case would be the Whole Bone Matrix. It is very gentle, while still providing nose-to-tail nourishment.
