More Marrow Benefits - Stem Cells & Alkylglycerols (AKGs)

Alkylglycerols, a type of lipid found primarily in fish liver oils have been associated with several potential health benefits:

1. Immune System Support: Alkylglycerols (or AKGs) can enhance immune function by stimulating the production and activity of immune cells, potentially improving the body's defense against infections.

2. Anti-Inflammatory Effects: They may help reduce inflammation, which can benefit conditions related to chronic inflammation, such as arthritis.

3. Antioxidant Properties: AKGs have antioxidant effects, helping to protect cells from oxidative stress and damage.

4. Promote Wound Healing: They are thought to support the healing process and repair of tissues.

5. Improve Skin Health: By supporting immune function and reducing inflammation, AKGs may contribute to healthier skin.

6. Support Overall Health: The presence of AKGs in supplements and traditional remedies suggests potential benefits in maintaining general health and well-being.

The good news is, they’re also found in Animal Livers, and Animal Bone Marrow!  With Marine Liver Oil and Fish Eggs (Roe) topping the charts, but land-based mammals not far behind. 

Bovine Marrow is also a rich source of Stem Cells, particularly hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which are responsible for producing blood cells.  But also Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which can differentiate into various cell types, including bone, cartilage, and fat cells.

Naturally, this means the stem cells in Marrow come with several potential health benefits - particularly in medical and therapeutic contexts:

1. Regenerative Medicine: Stem cells can repair or replace damaged tissues and organs, aiding recovery from injuries or degenerative diseases.

2. Blood Disorders Treatment: Hematopoietic stem cells from bone marrow can treat conditions like leukemia, lymphoma, and anemia through bone marrow transplants.

3. Cartilage Repair: Mesenchymal stem cells can help regenerate cartilage, offering hope for conditions like osteoarthritis.
4. Neurodegenerative Disease Support: Research is ongoing into using stem cells for conditions like Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis, potentially restoring lost function. 

5. Heart Repair: Stem cells may assist in repairing heart tissue after a heart attack, promoting healing and improving heart function.

6. Immune System Boosting: Stem cells can support the immune system, improving the body's ability to fight infections and diseases.

Simply put, bone marrow delivers a unique dose of immune supporting compounds that are difficult to obtain elsewhere.  Alkylglycerols and Stem Cells are rarely consumed nutritionally, and these health benefits rarely enjoyed as a result.

Sure you can buy your own bones, roast them in the oven and consume the “real food source” but unfortunately 99.9% of the people reading this post aren’t going to do that.  Not only because it’s inconvenient, but because it's a foreign practice.

That’s why we developed our Bovine Marrow product from “fully” pasture-raised cattle in New Zealand - with nothing added and nothing removed.  Meaning, you get the pure, nutrient-packed marrow we would’ve consumed as hunter gatherers, from the best quality ruminants in the world.
