Metavive I, Porcine Thyroid Comp 40mg x 180 Capsules

Metavive I contains freeze-dried porcine thyroid gland from Procepts’ proprietary high welfare farms in the United Kingdom, where the pigs are raised on non-GMO feed, without the use of growth-promoting hormones or antibiotics. This is half the dose of the Metavive II supplement which provides 80mg.

The pigs are born outdoors and reared on natural grass pastures, before being brought into large straw-filled barns. Throughout their lives they are free to roam, socialise and express their natural rooting behaviours.

The thyroid glands are collected by EU approved abattoirs, freeze-dried and processed using low temperature methods, to carefully preserve their raw nutritional value, before blending with a synergistic complex of ribonucleotides, the raw building blocks of RNA and DNA for every cell.

Nucleotide Nutrition

Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. As such, they are needed by all cells of the human body, particularly during periods of regeneration, growth and repair. Nucleotides are also involved in cellular energy production, help to mediate cellular signalling and regulate certain enzymes, along with many other cellular functions.

The body has an ability to produce small amounts of nucleotides itself, as well as to salvage them from old, non-functional cells. However, in tissues which normally have a high cellular turnover (e.g. in the gut, the production of immune cells, or in athletes), or when environmental stressors normally generate an increased demand (e.g. infection or injury), then these synthesis and salvage pathways may not be sufficient to supply adequate amounts of nucleotides to the body. So ,depending on current circumstances, additional nucleotides derived from the diet can become essential for the body.

Historically, organ meats and fermented foods were the richest natural sources of nucleotides in the diet. But as intakes of these wholefood sources have declined in the modern diet, recent scientific interest has focussed on finding additional sources of nucleotide supplementation. As such, the purified complex of all four primary nucleotides added to this new formula, perfectly complements this premium quality organ meat supplement.
