Whole Bone Matrix
Made with grass-fed and finished bovine bones from a regenerative farm, this product may provide support of optimal bone mineral composition and overall bone strength. Our complex contains all the natural elements of healthy bone including the essential minerals calcium and phosphorous (in their ideal ratio of 2:1), growth factors, type I collagen, glycosaminoglycans and a broad range of other trace elements.

Calcium & Phosphorus
Both of these minerals play a vital role in bone growth and strength. This supplement provides them in the ideal ratio for the human body (2:1) and in a microcrystalline structure that enhances absorption and bioavailability.
Type 1 Collagen
This form of collagen is the most abundant protein in humans and is key for bone and connective tissue health. It builds and supports our bone matrix as well as tendons, ligaments and cartilage.
Growth Factors (IGF & TGF)
Insulin like growth factors (IGF) and transforming growth factors (TGC) are biologically active proteins that help maintain healthy bones.
100% Grass-Fed & Regeneratively Farmed
All our nose to tail products come from a regenerative farm where the cattle roam freely on pasture consuming a natural diet of grass. This means our cattle graze outside for as much of the year as weather conditions allow. Also, they are completely antibiotic/hormone free and their diet contains no foods contaminated with fertilisers, pesticides or other artificial chemicals.
Whole Bone Matrix
Eating whole animals, nose-to-tail, was a way of life for humans for the majority of our existence up until recent history. They believed that consuming a specific part of a healthy animal would strengthen and enhance the health of that part of their own body. For example, if someone had broken a bone or was experiencing issues with their connective tissue such as tendons, ligaments or cartilage, they would eat bone broths and be encouraged to consume the connective tissue and marrow. This specific bone matrix has validated their intuition in animal models, with clinical trials showing improvements in bone mineral density following six months consumption. This is because when the bones and connective tissue of a healthy animal are consumed, the unique growth factors and minerals like calcium and phosphorus within them, which are key for bone strength, travel to the bones of the consumer. In term, this boosts bone and connection tissue health.
Indigenous people also appreciated that animals gave their lives to ensure us as humans could survive and thrive so they left nothing go to waste. And because of their deep connection with the earth and their own bodies they intuitively knew just how beneficial consuming certain parts of the animal, such as bones and organ meat was for their own health. Fast forward to today and the immense powers of these more unique parts of the animal have somewhat been forgotten. What was once highly sought after is now rarely consumed and generally people no longer enjoy the taste. We created our nose-to-tail line to help people reintroduce these ancestral superfoods, loaded with nutrients in an easy to consume and flavourless way.

How to use
Just two of our Whole Bone Matrix capsules contain roughly 20% of the daily requirement for Calcium and Phosphorous. To get enough of these two key minerals for bone health through diet, the general recommendation is consume 3 portions of dairy per day.
Depending on how much dairy you eat, this is what we recommend for Whole Bone Matrix:
a) If you have 0 portions, take 10 caps = £1.46 per day // tub lasts 24 days
b) If you have 1 portion, take 6 caps = 0.88p per day // tub lasts 40 days
c) If you have 2 portions, take 4 caps = 0.58p per day // tub lasts 60 days -
When to use
Take 2-6 capsules at any point throughout the day. Each jar contains 240 capsules (30-60 day supply) and each capsule is 375mg.
Ingredients: Grass-Fed Bovine Bone, Gelatine (Capsule).
FAQs Questions
Will taking your supplements break a fast?
If you are doing a water fast with zero calories, then they will break the fast, as a serving contains a very small amount of calories. However, if your fasting goals are autophagy or healing your gut microbiome, you can take the supplements without negatively impacting those goals.
How do you ensure all the beneficial nutrients are maintained through processing?
We gently freeze dry raw organs sourced from a grass-fed farm to maintain as many of the fragile nutrients and enzymes found within them
Why isn’t this product certified organic like all of your other products?
Unfortunately when it comes to animal foods, the organic logo can be a bit of a smokescreen. Technically an animal can be classed as organic if they’re fed on unnatural but organic feed such as cereals or soy. We believe it’s best that animals, like humans, should be eating the foods they have throughout the vast majority of history before the food industry started introducing unnatural foods that are causing disease in modern society. To this effect, we believe cattle should be eating grass and in addition to this should be living outdoors for as much of the year as weather conditions allow. For this reason, we only use the organs from cattle that are free to roam on pastures. This means that our cattle eat a natural diet of grass, wildflowers and herbs and are kept outdoors for as long as possible. If they do have to be brought inside due to poor weather, they are fed preserved pasture. That said, the farm the cattle are from is also certified organic and therefore uses no pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics or hormones.
How large are the capsules / can they be broken and sprinkled into food?
The capsules are a medium size and we haven’t come across anyone so far that’s said they’re too big to swallow. However, if you would prefer to open them and add them to bone broth or other dishes this is absolutely fine.
What's the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for calcium and how much is in one serving (three capsules)?
The RDA is 1000 milligrams per day (mg/d) for most people over the age of 3. One 6 capsule serving contains around 585mg (58.5% of the RDA). You can reach this through consuming one cup of milk, yoghurt and kefir every day. If you're not getting adequate calcium through your diet, these capsules are a great option to bridge the gap to ensure optimal bone health.
Do you lab test your whole bone matrix?
We test our finished product for calcium, phosphorous and magnesium levels. Our current batch contains 780mg of calcium, 375mg of phosphorus and 12mg of magnesium per 8 capsule serving. Also bone products can be contaminated with lead so we test our powder to ensure this isn't the case for us.
