Canned Food for Cavemen:

Inside every bone is a spongy core of bone marrow. It’s most heavily concentrated in hip, spine, and thigh bones — the central skeleton. These contain mainly red bone marrow, the type that produces stem cells that can transform into red or white blood cells as needed.

And as long as there have been people, they have been consuming bone marrow from a variety of animals including cows, deer, caribou, and sheep. The attraction starts with a rich, almost sweet flavor.

But it’s the abundant nutrients and restorative healing powers that brings people back to nature’s first superfood time and again.

We think of our prehistoric ancestors as hunters who lived hand-to-mouth... Eating what they caught that day, then going hungry when food wasn’t available. 

But a recent discovery by researchers at Tel Aviv University proves we couldn’t have been more wrong.¹ 

More than 420,000 years ago, our early Paleolithic ancestors were wise enough to save up for a “rainy day” by cutting bones into segments, preserving them with leather, then storing them deep inside the darkest, coolest part of a cave for two months or more. 

The leather-wrapped bones acted like tin cans to preserve the nutritious bone marrow inside. When times were bad, they pulled out a bone, cracked it open, and ate. 

It was the perfect famine food. Because our ancestors knew that bone marrow had more life-sustaining nutrients than most meat. Marrow gave those earliest humans a taste for fat, which seems to have stimulated bigger brain size along with the desire to change from scavengers into hunters.² 

And that nourishment hasn’t declined over the ages. 

Bone marrow contains a perfect blend of fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and other life-sustaining compounds. A single tablespoon of wild game marrow contains:³ 

Plus, bone marrow is also known to be rich in vitamin B12, vitamin K2, iron, proteins, and healthy fats.

But its biggest boost comes from a dazzling combination of healing compounds.

Humans have been feasting on bone marrow for hundreds of thousands of years. It powers up your immunity like nothing else… and the benefits don’t stop there.

Bone marrow is a rich factory of life-giving biological factors like red blood cells, most white blood cells, and two forms of stem cells. It’s also a plentiful source of amino acids, essential fats, and other healing compounds including:

All of these compounds work together to restore and improve cellular, organ, and system functions. They’re essential for healthy aging, better brain function, and physical comfort — just to name a few.

Along with providing nourishing sustenance, bone marrow delivers significant health benefits. Its key compounds work individually and synergistically to improve function, stop disease, ease pain, and slow aging.

Here are some of bone marrow’s most crucial healing properties:

As you know, stem cells are the healthy “replacement cells” you were born with. They replace damaged or dying cells — and allow your body to repair itself following disease or trauma. 

Many of my colleagues in the medical profession still underestimate the incredible, self-healing power of these cells inside your body. 

They are key to the strength of your immune system. Millions of stem cells are destined to become vital defender cells that determine your body’s ability to fight infection and chronic disease. 

They also have astonishing anti-aging properties — regenerating damaged cells, tissues, and organs by producing new specific cells as needed. 

Unlike other types of cells, such as muscle and nerve cells, stem cells can renew multiple times to keep tissues and organs fresh and healthy. 

Research shows that an active and abundant stem cell supply can prevent or repair many injuries, diseases, and disorders, including: ^17,18,19,20
