What Is Cryogenic Milling?

Updated: Nov 8

After ingredients are dried, they must be milled into a powder before they can be bottled or put into capsules. The milling method used can make a big difference in the quality of the final product.

How Are Beef Organs Milled?


Traditional milling involves the use of various machinery that uses friction to grind dried material into fine powders. This friction generates a lot of heat; temperatures during this process can exceed 140 degrees, which can degrade sensitive compounds in food.


If you want the most from your beef organ supplements, you don’t want them produced with traditional milling methods. Unfortunately, since nearly all companies don’t make their own raw materials or supplements, they have no control over how they are made, and most have no idea which milling method is used. 


Cryogenic Milling


Cryogenic milling involves the use of cryogens (substances used to produce very low temperatures), such as liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide. The cryogen is used to keep the temperature very low during milling, preventing the thermal degradation of sensitive compounds and nutrients that occurs in traditional milling. Cryogenic milling is performed at temperatures below 0 °, so heat-related damage is not an issue. It is more expensive and takes longer, which is why most producers use traditional milling. 


NXGEN Wholefoods believes in beef organ supplements without compromise, and that’s why their products are made with organs that they cryogenically mill at their own TGA-certified facility. They don't outsource raw material production to questionable and unknown third parties. 


If you want the best beef organ supplements, choose those made with cryogenically milled ingredients.
