ALL YOU NEED
Ancestral Supplements bone marrow is one of the absolute best products I've ever used and I'm a wellness junkie and holistic coach. Brian, the owner of this amazing brand has been in contact several times to check in because I felt nauseous with the initial doses and he wanted to ensure he gave me all the tools to get the most out of the supplements. Brian's interest in supporting my health journey is so genuinely heartfelt and nurturing. He has a customer in me and I will be forwarding my clients to him as well!
Below is one of our conversations about my nausea, in case anyone needs it-
Me: I have been taking the Bone Marrow, 1-2 tablets daily. It makes me very nauseous and lightheaded and I want to increase the dosage but haven't advanced that far yet. Didn't start the Liver, a little intimidated both of them combined will have me barfing for days. What do you suggest? How long will nausea last?
Have definitely noticed more energy, mood is a bit more stable and my hair is growing like crazy! Still having vertigo but there is an absolute difference in my day to day!
Brian: Hey Shasty,
It's good to hear from you again. I'm sorry to hear you have not been feeling well lately. I'd like to see if there is something I can do to help. Were you taking them all at once or in divided doses?
Most customers tolerate our supplements without incident; however, approximately 5 to 10% of customers (usually with an autoimmune condition or methylation SNPs) may experience a detoxification reaction. Detoxification reactions go by many different names including healing reactions, healing crises, cleansing reactions (or) Herxheimer reactions with hallmark symptoms of nausea, headache, lethargy, dizziness and other flu-like symptoms. In this instance, detoxification reactions are generally an indication that detoxification pathways in the body are back online... cells suddenly have an opportunity to release an even greater than normal quantity of stored toxins, metabolic wastes, pathogens, and unwanted material.
A detoxification reaction is more likely to occur when starting with the full suggested serving size of 6 capsules per day. If you know that you are sensitive to supplements and/or you have an autoimmune condition, you may wish to start slow when adding this product to your current regimen. Tolerability can be greatly improved by starting with just 1 capsule a day and increasing by just 1 capsule every couple of days — this method may take a full two to three weeks to achieve the desired serving size of 6 capsules per day.
I suggest backing down to just 1 or even 1/2 a capsule per day... detox usually runs its course within a 10 to 14 day window but some individuals are highly sensitive to the nourishment in these foods because their physiology has never seen it before and / or the biological machinery that comes online can create tolerability issues for as long as 30 days which neither you nor I want you to endure... if even for the greater good. Our body-mind is so brilliant that it does whatever it can to defend itself and heal. Whatever symptoms we're having are the best effort of our body at that time to defend ourselves. If we cut off that defense, then it's like the body surrenders, and our body gets suppressed and then develops a new serious syndrome.
The solution... back off your dose to just 1 or even 1/2 a capsule per day (asses if you seem to tolerate that okay; if you don't, back off to just 1 product per day)... this works really well for the overwhelming majority of people that struggle with the standalone Liver. After 1 full week at 1 capsule per day, go back up to 2 capsules per day for another full week, tolerability permitting... then 3 capsules per day for the next week... and so on.
As you're searching for the ideal dose, you'll really need to pay attention to your body. Try to limit the number of variables that change at any one time... I have a background in biochemistry so it's ingrained in me to limit variables... change one thing at a time. When our customers follow this protocol, it greatly improves tolerability so that this incredible nourishment has the chance to do good. Feel free to go at your own method, but I really want to see you love our products as much as we do... I want you to have more energy... better mood... better vibrancy, health, and happiness.
I'm beyond happy to hear you have noticed some benefits with our Bone Marrow product. I put my heart and soul into this company so it means the world to me to receive such positive feedback — thank you so much for sharing.
