HEART & SOIL Firestarter Dietary Supplement (180 Capsules) - Grass-Fed & Finished Supplement for Weight Loss, Appetite Control, Nutrient Absorption Support & More

...and it's melting away slowly but surely.I also use suet to cook my meat and other Carnivor-ish delicacies in. Adds satiety I was missing with other fats plus so many natural Vitamins and minerals that I've reduced most supplements and junk foods to my great surprise and joy. DR Pauls' tribe is helpful and fun, always a pleasure. We use all of his creative supplements and suggestions, alternating as needed and they're ALL fantastic at providing energy, immunity and stronger bodies. Helps to provide the missing links in our food supply with the Natural Human Diet of ancestors instead of processed treats. Love this tribal support too! Dr. Pauls videos and interviews are great encouragement -good thing I studied at Med school because he gets into the biochemical foundations of the Carnivore approach and I suggest a good dictionary for studying his wonderful book "The Carnivore Code". GENIUS !!! There are many on this path to teaching Natural healthful eating and living but only 3 Drs. that I really vibe with and I thank Dr Berry, Dr Shawn Baker and DR. Saladino. We call him DR. Radical wild Paul and we love it all. Too many wins to mention, my health is steadily improving when I stay Carnivore Radical!Niki

I'm a Board-certified Holistic Nutritionist and I've been a big fan of Paul's for years. That being said, I don't love it when supplements make big claims and usually try to keep my clients on as few as possible (real food is where health is at people!). When Paul first started talking about stearic acid I was skeptical because there were some grand assertions he was making. HOWEVER, being fair, I decided to try a bottle and, frankly, am now totally convinced. The mental clarity and energy boost are undeniable but even more important is the total vanishing of all afternoon cravings without any snacking between meals at all. Wanting to see the effects on athletic performance as well, I've sent a bottle to my son who is an Olympic weightlifter and he too is a bit astounded at the natural boost he feels pre-training. Thank you Paul for creating such an accessible form of stearic acid and incredible tool for people's health!

I cannot swallow pills!!! But that did not stop me from buying these after talking to heart and soil rep via chat and email that confirmed people eat these like jelly beans and all is well for them. So far I have only had a handful one each day for a week. I am slow to integrate anything to see how I do overall (think sensitive digestive track). No results to speak of right now but also no obvious side effects. Best of all u can chew them and let filling squish out in mouth and then spit out gelatin capsule BUT please do so in between eating or right after savory food or snack. Capsule is not sweet which is totally fine instead has a jelly bean like quality but like butter or meat fat flavor which is pleasant but savory not sweet. I am excited to stick with these and eat them after a meal to help joint pain, skin, and shogren’s maybe even inflammation, fingers crossed.

Each pill contains 0.5 grams of beef kidney fat which is a rich source of stearic acid. Stearic acid has been shown to repair our mitochondria within a few hours of ingestion. It may be the most important fat that we can consume. My wife has trouble eating fat so these pills are an easy way for her to consume the fat without the taste. Neither of us has had any burping up of taste or odor from taking these pills. Great product!

As a habitual coffee-drinker and cigarette smoker, I really didn't expect this to have much impact on my teeth (was taking it more for dry skin and fatigue). I had done whitening strips and toothpastes before with no noticeable results. Well, my teeth got noticeably whiter overall and the internal discoloration disappeared. On top of that, my skin and hair are looking great - the dryness and acne have disappeared - and I'm no longer feeling nearly as tired throughout the day as before. I didn't take any other supplements or make any other changes during this time so I'm confident that it was this. I'm setting it up on auto-ship as soon as I can to make sure I don't miss a day.

I added FS to my low carb way of eating. Taking them mid day (As I exercise after the work day), my body has shed nearly 7 pounds of fat, noticing my teeth a little whiter and I don't have evening cravings for something to munch on. Pleasantly surprised at the outcome. Will finish this bottle and likely repurchase.

I am so glad I learned about the damage polyunsaturated fats do to our bodies. I shudder at the thought of all those years I cooked with it and poured it on salads I shouldn’t have been eating anyway. I am sure my fat cells are full of linoleic acid, so I am excited about eating nose to tail and incorporating H&S’s supplements into my regimen. I LOVE the Fire Starter and eat about seven every morning and every evening. However, I have since discovered that it is best to have a morning and afternoon dose as these do create a feeling of increased energy. I am not cold all the time like I used to be and I have only been taking them for two weeks. I chew the little gems. I pop one in my mouth and wait for it to soften and then bite into the capsule and experience that familiar steric acid taste, like eating fatty brisket only better. Thank you so much H&S.

I can't speak to the quality of the tallow yet, but the execution in packaging needs some work. As others have experienced all the capsules had fused into a single clump that cannot be extricated from the bottle. Add to that they packed the bottle with cotton which has left a great deal of fuzz on the capsules. This leaves them with the appeal of a moist cough drop that's been bouncing around inside grandma's linty purse for a few days. I needed to break the jar open and use tools to separate the capsules, then wipe them off with a damp paper towel & sit out to dry. All while keeping them refrigerated so they didn't melt and soak into the towels.I know they need to pack it with something absorbent, as per shipping regulations, but maybe they could use the plastic lined absorbent towels they use for hamburger at the grocery store? Something that wouldn't cover everything in lint anyway.
