Frequently Asked Questions

• Why choose freeze-dried organs over raw or heat-processed ones?

  Raw organs are difficult to source and prepare, while high-heat processing can destroy delicate enzymes and vitamins. At KIA ORA SUPPLEMENTS, we only source from manufactures that use a low-temperature freeze-drying process (lyophilization) that removes only the water, leaving the vital heat-sensitive nutrients, peptides, and cofactors intact and bioactive.

• What is the "Like-Supports-Like" principle?

  This is the cornerstone of glandular therapy. It is the ancestral belief that consuming the specific nutrients, enzymes, and signaling molecules from a healthy bovine organ provides the targeted biological building blocks to support the health of the corresponding organ in your own body.

• Do your supplements contain any fillers or flow agents?

  Absolutely not. As a family-owned business, we value transparency. Our capsules contain 100% pure organ meat with no magnesium stearate, silica, rice flour, or GMO additives. We believe in providing only what nature intended—nothing more, nothing less.

• Why does the color of my organ powder look different than my last order?

  Because we source exclusively from 100% New Zealand grass-fed cattle, our organ supplements are a direct reflection of the natural environment. Variation is a sign of a clean, honest product. Shifts in color are typically caused by two factors:
  
  1) The Season:New Zealand cattle graze on open pastures year-round. In the spring and summer, the grass is rich in beta-carotene, which can give organ tissues (like liver or testes) a more tan/brownish hue. In winter, the powder may appear lighter or more off-white.
  
  2) The Manufacturer & Trimming: Different master crafters use unique "trimming" styles. One manufacturer may include more of the nutrient-dense outer membranes and vascular tissue (creating a light brown hue), while another may focus on the internal glandular tissue (resulting in an off-white color).
  
  100% Pure Origin: We refuse to use artificial whitening agents (like titanium dioxide) or chemical dyes to force a uniform look. You are seeing the raw, honest color of premium New Zealand bovine extract.
  
  Does this affect the quality? No. Every batch regardless of whether it is off-white or light brown undergoes the same rigorous testing for purity. In the world of premium New Zealand glandulars, color variation is a hallmark of authenticity and high-nutrient density.

• Where do you source your organs?

  Quality is our highest priority. We source 100% of our organs & glandulars from New Zealand, a global leader in animal welfare and environmental purity. The cattle are 100% grass-fed and pasture-raised, roaming free year-round without the use of hormones or unnecessary antibiotics.

• How do I incorporate these into my daily routine?

  Consistency is key to ancestral nutrition. Most of our customers take their capsules in the morning with their first meal to support energy levels throughout the day. If you are new to organ supplements, you may want to start with a half-dose for the first week to allow your digestive system to adjust to the nutrient density.
