Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Bovine (unspecified), often referring to bovine spleen or glandular extracts, is primarily used to support the spleen body system based on traditional and historical practices rather than robust scientific validation. Glandular therapy, which involves consuming animal organ extracts to support the corresponding human organ, has roots in early 20th-century naturopathy and some traditional medicine systems. Proponents believe that consuming spleen tissue may provide nutrients, peptides, or other factors that theoretically support human spleen function, particularly for immune health and blood cell production. However, there is a lack of high-quality clinical trials or scientific studies directly demonstrating that bovine spleen extracts have a significant or specific benefit for the human spleen or systemic immunity. Most of the evidence supporting this practice is anecdotal, based on practitioner experience or historical use. While bovine spleen tissue does contain nutrients such as vitamin B12, iron, and certain peptides, there is no clear evidence that these components have targeted effects on the human spleen when consumed orally, compared to obtaining similar nutrients from other dietary sources. In summary, the use of unspecified bovine extracts for spleen support is rooted in traditional practices rather than modern scientific evidence, and the quality of evidence supporting their efficacy is low.
