CONCENTRATED
WHOLE-FOOD SOURCES

The logic of ancestral concentrates, revisited.

Before isolated compounds and fractionated extracts, the most nutrient-dense foods available were organ meats and whole-animal parts. Liver. Cartilage. Placenta. Each a concentrated source of naturally occurring nutrients the body recognizes in familiar biological forms.

Codeage Grass-Fed Beef Placenta, Liver & Cartilage brings these three concentrates together — sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle — into a single daily formula positioned within Pillar 04: Systemic Balance of The Longevity Code.

Each source. Its own character.

Grass-fed beef placenta, liver, and cartilage each carry a distinct nutritional profile. Together, they represent a comprehensive approach to whole-food supplementation that reflects the nutritional logic of the whole animal.

Concentrate 01

Beef Placenta

The mammalian placenta is among the most biochemically rich tissues in nature — a transient organ built to nourish, sustain, and transfer nutrients during gestation. As a concentrate, it provides a naturally occurring complex of growth factors, peptides, and proteins in a whole-food matrix.

Concentrate 02

Grass-Fed Beef Liver

Liver has been valued across cultures as a nutritional cornerstone. Grass-fed beef liver is a whole-food source of naturally occurring B vitamins, iron, copper, zinc, and fat-soluble vitamins in forms the body readily engages with — packaged as nature assembled them, not as isolated compounds.

Concentrate 03

Beef Cartilage

Cartilage is a connective tissue naturally rich in type II collagen, glycosaminoglycans, and chondroitin. As a food concentrate, it delivers the structural matrix compounds that form the architecture of joints, trachea, and connective tissue throughout the body.

What the literature has explored.

Research into organ meat concentrates spans multiple decades. Below are two areas where published research exists — shared here as reference points, not as claims about this product's intended effects.

Published Research Reference · Liver Concentrates

"Studies on liver hydrolysates have examined their composition and the presence of naturally occurring nutrient cofactors, including heme iron, cobalamin, and retinol forms, exploring how these compare to isolated supplemental equivalents in nutritional contexts."

Research into whole-liver concentrates has appeared in nutritional biochemistry literature exploring bioavailability of naturally complexed nutrients. For a relevant overview, see: Biesalski, H.K. (2005). Meat as a component of a healthy diet. Meat Science, 70(3), 509–524 →

Published Research Reference · Cartilage Glycosaminoglycans

"Investigations into bovine cartilage-derived compounds — including chondroitin sulfate and type II collagen fractions — have been a consistent focus of connective tissue research, with published studies examining their structural roles and behavior in biological systems."

For a peer-reviewed foundation: Henrotin, Y., et al. (2010). Chondroitin sulfate in the treatment of osteoarthritis: from in vitro studies to clinical recommendations. Therapeutic Advances in Musculoskeletal Disease, 2(6), 335–354 →

No system operates alone.

The nutritional logic of this formula reflects a foundational principle within Pillar 04: the body's systems are interconnected. Liver concentrates supply nutrients that participate in energy metabolism, immune function, and methylation cycles. Cartilage concentrates provide structural matrix components relevant to connective tissue throughout the musculoskeletal system. Placenta concentrates introduce a complex biological matrix that has been a subject of active research interest.

SYSTEMIC BALANCE PILLAR 04 LIVER CARTILAGE PLACENTA
01

Metabolic Support

Liver concentrates provide naturally occurring B vitamins and cofactors that participate in cellular energy metabolism and methylation pathways.

02

Connective Matrix

Cartilage provides type II collagen, chondroitin, and glycosaminoglycans — the raw material of connective tissue throughout the body.

03

Bioactive Complexity

Placenta concentrates introduce a rich biological matrix of peptides, growth factors, and proteins not commonly found in standard supplement formats.

04

Whole-Food Form

All three concentrates deliver nutrients in the natural matrix in which they occur — not isolated, not fractionated, not synthesized.

Grass-fed. Pasture-raised. By design.

The quality of a whole-food concentrate begins with the source animal. Grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle live differently — their nutritional profile reflects it. The decision to source exclusively from grass-fed cattle is not a label choice. It is a formulation choice.

Sourcing Standard

Grass-Fed & Pasture-Raised

All three concentrates are sourced from cattle raised on pasture, without confinement feeding practices. The nutritional composition of grass-fed tissue differs meaningfully from grain-fed alternatives.

Processing

Freeze-Dried Concentrate

Freeze-drying preserves the native nutritional matrix — including heat-sensitive peptides and enzymes — in a way that conventional drying methods cannot. The result is a true concentrate, not a denatured extract.

Form Factor

Encapsulated Daily Formula

The formula is designed for daily use — a consistent, measured dose of all three concentrates in a convenient capsule format that integrates into any nutritional routine.

Quality Position

Codeage Standard

Manufactured in the United States in a cGMP-certified facility. Third-party tested. Non-GMO. The quality infrastructure that supports every formula in The Longevity Code.
