Science

01

Synergy of the Herd

By combining bison and bull organs, we create a complementary nutritional profile that captures the best of both species. While bison organs often lead in Omega-3 levels due to their wild forage, bull organs have recently established new dataset highs for Vitamins B6, B7, and E. Because both animals are naturally more lean, it also does not increase cholesterol the same way as beef does.

02

Metabolomic Precision

Our formulations are not guesses; they are based on Food Metabolomics. We utilize high-resolution data to blend liver, heart, kidney, pancreas, and spleen in ratios that reflect their diverse physiologic roles—optimizing for methyl donors, heme iron, and essential cofactors.

03

Superior Bioavailability

Multiple scientific studies confirm that synthetic multivitamins cannot match the concentrated density of whole-food sources. The nutrients in Apex Breed are delivered within a natural "whole-food matrix," enhancing your body's ability to absorb and utilize key vitamins and minerals.

04

Heritage Purity & Testing

Safety is as paramount as potency. Our testing confirms our tissues are a clean source of nutrition, frequently showing non-detectable levels of trace contaminants. We respect the animal's natural state—no hormones, no antibiotics, and no additives.

The Power of Targeted Nutrition

🥩 Liver: The Great Multivitamin

The most concentrated source of preformed Vitamin A, B12, and Folate. Our 12/25 bull liver samples showed an incredible Vitamin A increase—5,250~100~—providing essential support for vision and immune integrity.

🫀 Heart: The Engine of Energy

Bison and bull hearts are the primary contributors of CoQ10. These tissues are leaner than other organs while remaining the top source for heart-linked antioxidants and enzymatic compounds.

🧼 Kidney: The Master Methyl Donor

A leading source of Choline, Betaine, and Thiamine (B1). These "methyl donors" are vital for liver function, homocysteine metabolism, and cellular repair.

The nutritional data and chemical benchmarks presented for Sacred Herd products are derived from the following technical analysis:

  • Primary Source: Project Report: American Authentic Nutrition.
  • Institution: Utah State University (USU) Food Metabolomics Lab.
  • Laboratory Director: Stephan van Vliet, PhD.
  • Publication Date: December 2025 Update.

Analytical Benchmarks

The following summarizes the data points extracted from the lab report that validate the Sacred Herd dual-source (Bull & Bison) advantage:
