FAQ
What is FEM and who is it for?

FEM (Female Enhancement Mixture) is Ancestral's formula for women: per daily dose 1,200 mg of freeze-dried beef reproductive tissue (ovary, uterus and fallopian tube), supplemented with 900 mg of liver and 900 mg of bone marrow. It is intended for women who want to support their reproductive organs, hormonal balance and energy with organ nutrition according to the 'like supports like' principle: around the cycle, when trying to conceive and during (peri)menopause. Ancestral Supplements uses only organs from cattle (and, for the thymus, sheep) that graze outdoors all year round in New Zealand and Australia: grass-fed and grass-finished, with no added hormones, antibiotics, pesticides or GMOs. The organs are freeze-dried raw (not heated, not defatted), so the heat-sensitive vitamins, enzymes and fat-soluble nutrients are preserved. There are no fillers, flow agents, stearates or anti-caking agents; the only addition is the beef gelatine capsule. Every batch is tested by an independent laboratory and the company operates under GMP certification.

Does FEM contain oestrogen or other hormones?

No, not in active amounts. Freeze-dried ovary and uterus tissue contains the natural building blocks, peptides, enzymes and cofactors of that tissue, but no pharmacological dose of oestrogen or progesterone; FEM is food, not a hormone preparation. Anyone who needs hormone therapy should see their doctor.

How do I take FEM and how many per day?

The standard dose is 6 capsules per day (3,000 mg), taken all at once or spread over the day, with or without food. Start with 1 to 2 capsules for the first few days and build up by one capsule every few days until you reach 6, so your body can adjust. At 6 per day, a jar of 180 capsules lasts 30 days. Because this is freeze-dried food, you can also open the capsules and stir the powder into a smoothie, yoghurt or (not too hot) food; expect a pronounced meaty taste. Ancestral states that the dose can be temporarily doubled if needed, with at least 3 hours between doses. Products containing liver can have a mildly energising effect because of the B vitamins and haem iron. It is therefore best to take them in the morning or early afternoon, not just before bed. With or without food makes no difference to absorption; if you have a sensitive stomach, take them with a meal.

Can I get a reaction when I start?

Most people notice nothing in particular when they start. Around 5 to 10 percent, especially people with a sensitive immune system or an autoimmune condition, experience mild complaints in the first week such as nausea, headache, fatigue or an unsettled stomach. This is usually temporary. If so, build up more slowly (1 capsule per day, adding one every 3 days), take the capsules with food and a large glass of water, and reduce the dose if it persists. If the complaints don't disappear within a few days of reducing the dose, stop and consult your doctor or therapist.

What is the difference compared with Beef Liver and Beef Organs?

Liver and Beef Organs contain no reproductive tissue. FEM contains 900 mg of liver (about a third of a full liver dose) and 900 mg of bone marrow for the fat-soluble nutrients, plus 1,200 mg of ovary/uterus/fallopian tube as 'female-specific' organ tissue. If you also want the full liver dose, combine it with 3 capsules of Beef Liver and keep an eye on your total vitamin A.

Can I use FEM during pregnancy, while breastfeeding or when trying to conceive?

FEM is widely used when trying to conceive, often together with Beef Liver and Fish Eggs (omega-3, vitamin D). During pregnancy and breastfeeding organ nutrition is not a problem as such, but always consult your midwife or doctor, also because of the vitamin A from the liver. If you have a hormone-sensitive condition (such as endometriosis, PCOS or a hormone-sensitive tumour) or use hormone medication or the pill, consult your doctor first.

Is beef liver actually safe, and what about vitamin A?

Yes, liver from healthy animals is safe. A common misconception is that the liver 'stores' toxins; in fact the liver filters and processes them so they can be excreted via bile and urine, and what it mainly stores is vitamins (A, B12, folate, copper, iron) and glycogen. Liver from healthy, grass-fed animals from New Zealand, where no growth hormones and hardly any antibiotics are used, is one of the most nutritious foods there is. Liver does, however, contain a lot of natural vitamin A (retinol): FEM contains 900 mg of liver per daily dose, roughly 450 to 1,000 µg vitamin A, which is below the reference intake. So don't combine it with other high-dose vitamin A supplements or several liver-containing products at full dose at the same time, and if you are pregnant, discuss your total vitamin A intake with your midwife.

Does this product contain allergens and how do I store it?

The product contains beef (and beef gelatine as the capsule) and is therefore not suitable for vegetarians, vegans or people with a beef allergy (alpha-gal). Otherwise it contains no gluten, dairy, soy, nuts, egg, fish, shellfish, sugar, colourings, preservatives or fillers. New Zealand and Australia are officially free of BSE (mad cow disease). Store the jar closed in a cool, dry, dark place, such as a kitchen cupboard; the fridge is not necessary. Freeze-dried organ powder attracts moisture, so close the jar straight after use and leave the silica gel sachet inside. Unopened and sealed, the product keeps until the date on the label; once opened, preferably use it up within 3 months.
