High Vitamin Butter Oil
What is High Vitamin Butter Oil?
High Vitamin Butter Oil (HVBO) is the oil extracted
from the milk of dairy cows grazing on natural
green pastures. This oil is highly coveted within
the supplement industry for its high levels of
Vitamin K2, the "Activator X" whose synergistic
properties with Cod Liver Oil can provide a wealth
of natural health benefits.
The quality of High Vitamin Butter Oil is largely dependent on the diet of
the cows providing the milk. Cows weaned on a typical grain diet do not
yield a milk high enough in vitamin content to be suitable for butter oil
extraction. Dairy farmers supplying High Vitamin Butter Oil for
supplement manufacturing must ensure optimal growing conditions for the
green pastures that supply nutrition to their cows. This includes a fair
climate, proper irrigation, and a particular species of quickly reproducing
green grass. The result is a highly fertile herd of cattle that is able to
provide a copious volume of fresh milk with the highest possible levels of
Activator X.
Activator X
Dr. Weston Price, the highly regarded doctor who researched the impact
of nutrition on public health, was responsible for discovering High Vitamin
Butter Oil from green pastures in the 1930's. He dubbed it "Activator X,"
or "X Factor," and went on to study the benefit of blending High Vitamin
Butter Oil with Fermented Cod Liver Oil.
How Is High Vitamin Butter Oil Produced?
1. Milk: Cows are allowed to graze on rich, green pastures, producing a
high-vitamin milk.
2. Butter: The milk is processed, extracting butter.
3. Butter is either heat separated to make Ghee or centrifuged and
condensed to make High Vitamin Butter Oil.

Health Benefits of Grass Fed Butter Oil vs. Grain Fed Butter Oil
The undeniable link between nutrition and health is tightly woven in every
species. People given a healthy, whole-food diet rich in nurients will
thrive and enjoy good health. The same is true for the dairy cows who
supply us with milk. Laboratory tests tell us that grass fed butter oil is
more than 3x more nutrient-dense than grain fed butter oil. Grass fed
butter oil is a darker color, has a broader spectrum of vitamins including
Beta Carotene, and is a concentrated source of organic nutrients. Taking a
closer look at a day in the life of a cow will explain exactly why this
phenomenon exists.
Pastured cows are milked once a day. They eat a diet of pure, organic
vitamin-rich green grass and are allowed to roam the pasture and exercise.
Grass-fed cows are under very little stress and enjoy the health benefits
of a whole-grain diet.
Feedlot cows are milked three times a day. They eat a low-nutrient diet
of grains and spend the majority of their time in confinement with very
little space. Grain-fed cows live a stressful life and are usually raised on a
GMO diet.
Clarified Butter/Ghee
Clarified Butter/Ghee is used for cooking. Continued processing of butter
yields a clarified butter/ghee, a concentrated solid comprised of fat and
fat-soluble vitamins in which water and milk products have been removed.
Ghee is NOT the same as High Vitamin Butter Oil. It is a delicious high-

heat oil used in gourmet cooking, but is NOT a superfood. Ghee is cooked
at a high temperature, which destroys some of the nutritional quality. It
is not as concentrated as High Vitamin Butter Oil. In fact, a person would
have to consume a whopping eight tablespoons of ghee versus the
recommended half teaspoon serving of High Vitamin Butter Oil in order to
glean the equivalent amount of Vitamin K.

High Vitamin Butter Oil
High Vitamin Butter Oil is used as a nutritional supplement. When butter
is cold pressed and centrifuged, the solid fats separate from the oils,
yielding a skim of high vitamin butter oil that is the most nutrient-dense
source of Vitamin K2, or Activator X, available. The liquid and butter wax
are removed, leaving a concentrated High Vitamin Butter Oil devoid of
moisture, lactose, and milk protein. It is done at a raw temperature, which
preserves the delicate vitamins and the low chain fatty acids that are
denatured when heated.
What is the Benefit of High Vitamin Butter
Over Grocery Store Butter or Ghee?
In order to yield a butter (or a high vitamin butter oil) with a remarkable
Vitamin K content, the milk used has to come from cows that graze
exclusively on green pastures. The majority of dairy cows used for butter
production today are simply fed grain or corn, which is less expensive, but
does not yield the same results. Therefore, very few grocery butters
have a high Vitamin-K content, where all High Vitamin Butter Oil
supplements deliver a measurable Vitamin-K serving.
It may be possible for some people to source unprocessed, natural butter.
In order to glean the highest benefit in colder climates, the butter would
need to be purchased in the spring and early summer in bulk and stored
for use in the other seasons. This is because the vitamin content of the
butter oil in the milk is minimal after the spring and early grass
dissipates. Even if a person was to purchase vitamin-rich grass-fed butter
from a local dairy farm, they would need to consume twelve times the
amount of butter or eight times the amount of ghee versus High Vitamin
Butter Oil. This is problematic for those on a low-fat diet, for children,
and for those with health concerns that make high-fat butter an
impractical Vitamin-K source. High Vitamin Butter Oil is a concentrated
vitamin-rich form of grass-fed butter, so concentrated in fact, that it
takes 8 POUNDS of cream to make 1 JAR of High Vitamin Butter oil.
Additionally, high quality High Vitamin Butter Oil is Lactose free and Milk
Protein free, making it safe for most dairy allergy sufferers. It is very

temperature stable and moisture free, which prevents the fatty acid
oxidation responsible for the shorter shelf life of butter.

What Did Dr. Weston A Price Discover
About High Vitamin Butter Oil?
Dr. Weston A. Price, the so-called "Charles Darwin of Nutrition," spent
sixty years comparing the habits of robust ancient cultures to the
declining health of modern society. He studied the people of
underdeveloped societies who were enjoying good health in the absence of
modern conveniences and processed foods.
After Dr. Price's discovery Activator X, the Vitamin-K credited with
enhancing nutrient absorption, he promoted the supplementation of diets
with High Vitamin Butter Oil.
The importance of Dr. Weston A. Price's Activator X discovery was the
realization that High Vitamin Butter Oil had the ability to enhance the
health benefits of Fermented Cod Liver Oil. According to Price, each one
singularly had powerful health benefits, but together, the two "worked
like magic."

Are there any side effects of High Vitamin Butter Oil?
High Vitamin Butter Oil promotes healthy digestion and encourages the
movement of food through the digestive tract. As your body acclimates to
High Vitamin Butter Oil supplements, you may experience some digestive
upset including loose stools. Most people find that starting at a lower
dosage and gradually building up to the recommended daily intake eases
this minor effect.
Are there Any Contraindications for High Vitamin Butter Oil Use?
High Vitamin Butter Oil is high in Vitamin K2. Talk to your doctor about
what level of K2 is safe for you if you are pregnant or nursing, have had a
stroke, suffered a cardiac arrest, or have been diagnosed with a blood-
clotting disorder such as Factor 5 Leiden.
