BONEnBLOOM’s Tasmanian Grass-Fed Beef Blood capsules are crafted from the whole blood of grass-fed, grass-finished cattle sourced in Tasmania, a region celebrated for its clean pastures and stringent standards of animal welfare. This product honours ancestral nutrition while integrating contemporary science to support foundational blood health in individuals with increased nutritional needs.
Blood is one of the richest natural sources of bioavailable heme iron, the form of iron the human body is biologically designed to absorb and utilise. Unlike plant-derived (“non-heme”) iron, heme iron is absorbed more efficiently via specialised transport mechanisms in the small intestine, helping the body support normal oxygen transport, energy production and red blood cell formation.*PubMed Central+1
BONEnBLOOM’s formula embraces a nose-to-tail approach, using the whole blood to maintain the natural matrix of proteins, haemoglobin, trace minerals and cofactors. This approach reflects both evolutionary nutritional patterns and modern understandings of nutrient synergy, where complex nutrient interactions support physiological functions more holistically than isolated compounds alone.
Nutritional Science & Mechanisms
Heme Iron and Absorption
Heme iron is the form of dietary iron found in animal blood and muscle and is absorbed with higher efficiency than non-heme iron from plant sources. Meta-analyses have demonstrated that dietary heme iron has a significantly greater impact on iron status indicators compared to non-heme iron, including biomarkers such as ferritin and haemoglobin.PubMed Central
This is due to heme iron’s ability to enter the enterocyte (intestinal absorptive cell) intact through specialised transport pathways, bypassing some of the competitive inhibition processes that limit non-heme iron uptake.Wikipedia
Efficient iron absorption supports:
-
Healthy red blood cell production and oxygen transport
-
Energy-yielding metabolism
-
Cognitive function and mental clarity
-
Immune resilience
Whole-Food Synergy
Beyond iron alone, beef blood inherently contains associated nutrients that work synergistically:
-
Haemoglobin & peptides: natural carriers of oxygen-supporting compounds
-
Trace minerals (e.g., copper, zinc, selenium): cofactors in enzymatic and antioxidant pathways
-
Protein fractions: supporting tissue repair and metabolic function
This reflects an ancestral model of nourishment where foods are consumed in their complete matrix, respecting biological contexts rather than isolated nutrients.
Quality, Ethical Sourcing & Integrity
BONEnBLOOM’s blood capsules are:
-
Tasmanian grass-fed & grass-finished
-
Free of fillers, binders and artificial additives
-
Produced under strict Australian quality standards
-
Intended as food-based nourishment, not a pharmaceutical intervention
This whole-food approach is designed for long-term nutritional support, encouraging trust in the body’s inherent regulatory processes rather than overwhelming them with synthetic dosages. It complements, but does not replace, clinical care for specific medical conditions such as iron-deficiency anemia, which requires professional diagnosis and treatment.

Absorption & Bioavailability

Non-heme iron is less well absorbed than heme iron, with heme iron uptake facilitated by distinct intestinal mechanisms. Meta-analysis indicates heme iron improves iron status indicators more effectively than non-heme iron. (Journal of Nutrition & Metabolism; systematic review) PubMed Central

Heme iron’s absorption pathway involves specialised transporter proteins, contributing to its higher bioavailability relative to non-heme sources. (Wikipedia — Haem carrier protein 1) Wikipedia
Educational Notes
BONEnBLOOM products are marketed as whole-food nutritional support rooted in ancestral nourishment principles and contemporary research. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent specific diseases. Individuals with diagnosed iron deficiency or anaemia should consult their GP or relevant specialists before initiating supplementation.
