Question 2

What is the complete list of superfoods in Ancient Nutrients Magnesium Blend?

Accepted Answer

Bovine Liver An ancient nutritional powerhouse, liver is one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet. Containing vitamins A, D, B12, B2, B3, B5, B6, omega-3s, iron, folate, zinc and more, this liver from pasture-raised New Zealand cattle is amazing. Rhodiola Root Extract Also known as “golden root,” this adaptogenic herb contains active compounds like rosoavin and has been used in TCM and beyond for centuries. According to legends, Vikings traditionally used it for strength, while the Sherpa people used it to climb at high altitudes, even to conquer Mt. Everest. Organic Turmeric Root Extract For centuries, TCM turned to turmeric for benefits. Today, we know one of its renowned compounds is curcumin. Bone Broth Our ancestors simmered bones, marrow, feet, skin, tendons and ligaments for days to create bone broth containing collagen, proline, glycine and glutamine. Our chicken bone broth comes from U.S. sources we trust, while our beef bone broth is derived from Europe. Organic Stinging Nettle Root Extract Stinging nettle, or urtica dioica, is a perennial flowering plant that has been used for ages, dating back as far as Ancient Greece. Today, it can be found all over the world, but its origins are in the colder regions of Europe and Asia. Organic Cinnamon Bark Extract Considered one of the longest-existing spices in human history, cinnamon bark features cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, and linalool. Organic Hericium erinaceus (Lion’s Mane) Mushroom Extract This edible type of beneficial fungus is a potent antioxidant. Used for thousands of years, it’s especially popular in TCM (Traditional Chinese Method). Organic Licorice Root Extract An ancient adaptogen herb, licorice root has been used for thousands of years and dozens of purposes. In the Traditional Chinese Method, it’s used as a beneficial herb to support overall health. Organic Skullcap Root Extract Traditionally known as huang qin but sometimes called baikal, skullcap is traditionally used as a soothing tonic and is a mainstay in TCM. It features certain flavones, which are antioxidants within the plant. Wild Hake Roe One of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet, fish eggs are high in phospholipids. Fish eggs are an excellent source of protein and essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins. The Omega 3s are often higher in roe than the fish itself. Our wild hake roe is sourced in New Zealand and is Marine Stewardship Council Certified.

Question 5

Is supplementation really necessary?

Accepted Answer

For many Americans the diet consumed isn’t nutritionally adequate. In fact, approximately two-thirds of the standard U.S. diet is made up of unhealthy fats and refined sugars with low or no nutrient density — providing calories but not the amounts of vitamins and minerals needed, including vitamins A, B Complex, C, D, E and the minerals calcium, magnesium and zinc. More specifically, typical diets contain less than 80% of the RDA for calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, and manganese—and the people who are most at risk for coming up short on those nutrients are adult women and teenage girls. Here’s the truth: If two-thirds of the standard U.S. diets are coming up short on certain nutrients, then the remaining one-third of the average diet may not be so great, either, and cannot possibly fully meet a person’s nutrient needs. One great way to get more vitamins and minerals into your diet is to include nutrient-dense, real foods. Unlike our Standard American Diet, nutrient-dense foods can deliver a vitamin-packed and mineral-packed wallop. In addition to a nutrient-dense diet, some opt to take a multivitamin to help cover their bases.

Question 6

Why is magnesium so important?

Accepted Answer

Magnesium is a mainstay for optimal health. In fact, generally speaking, magnesium is absolutely critical because it’s needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body.

Question 7

Why aren’t your products labeled as being “dairy-free” or “nut free"?

Accepted Answer

Our products do not contain dairy, grains, nuts or soy; however, they are manufactured in facilities that may carry these allergens. This being said, all of our manufacturing partners are required to have and follow a thorough Allergen Program. The Allergen Program is to prevent the cross contamination of raw materials and processing of finished goods, where allergens may be present. Simply put, when it comes to our products and our suppliers, we follow industry best practices for full transparency and accuracy concerning our products. Therefore, where applicable for our products, we use the wording “made without dairy" and "made without nuts."

Question 8

Are your products produced in a facility with allergens?

Accepted Answer

We now have a disclaimer that is on ALL of our products: "Produced on equipment that may also process peanuts, tree nuts, milk, soybean, wheat, sesame, shellfish, fish, egg." This is a voluntary disclaimer and our formulations have not changed. Our manufacturers are required to have Policies and Procedures in place when it comes to handling and processing allergens. These allergen programs are in place to prevent cross contamination after each run by proper cleaning procedures. Allergen swab testing is also done after running an allergen containing product. We test finished products for allergens prior to designating as “Free” of. We also follow cGMP (current good manufacturing practices) which helps maintain allergen segregation.
