However, cows are herbivores that do not have a digestive system capable of breaking down and properly absorbing animal proteins!

New Zealand, United States, Argentina, Australia, Denmark, Canada and the Asian continent are considered to be free of BSE due to the fact that animal by-products are not permitted in cattle feed.

Glandular concentrates are made by removing surgically excess fat from the glands of animals, usually cattle and sheep. Next, the tissue is frozen rapidly at an extremely low temperature and then dehydrated in a vacuum. All possible moisture is removed by this process called lyophilization. No solvents of any kind are used. All desirable nutritional factors of the original glands are retained and maintain their stability for an extended period of time.

PLEASE NOTE: Glandular concentrates are completely safe. They are not hormones, they do not contain hormones, do not act as hormones, and do not depress the body's production of hormones. They merely provide specific raw material to help glands repair themselves and function better.

Furthermore, prior to manufacturing, as with our vitamins and minerals, the raw glandular material is microbiology tested for aerobic microbial count - contaminants, such as E. coli, salmonella, gram negative and positive pathogens (total plate count), ensuring that the product is free of contaminants. Triglyceride Reduction Formula™ is also retested for the same contaminants after the tableting process is completed (no testing for BSE is available at this time on dry material).
