"Abstract: Neuroplex Contains Bovine Brain Tissues,
Vitamins, Minerals, And Co-Enzymes To Maintain
Healthy Function Of The Nervous And Endocrine
Systems The use of glandular therapy, in which
specific animal organ and gland tissues are ingested
for the concentrated nutrients present in them,
has had a long history of use across a variety of
cultures. The basic premise in glandular therapy is
"like heals like. Bovine brain tissues like the pineal,
hypothalamus, and pituitary, are combined with
bovine liver and spleen in Neuroplex, to provide
concentrated nutrients that are especially supportive to
their parallel tissues in the human body. Vitamins and
minerals contained in Neuroplex enable enzymes and
hormones to function properly, contributing to the
healthy maintenance of the nervous, endocrine, and immune
systems, as well as other control functions for the body."

The first interim final rule will ban the following materials
from FDA-regulated human food, (including dietary
supplements) and cosmetics:
Any material from “downer” cattle. (“Downer” cattle
are animals that cannot walk.)
Any material from “dead” cattle. (“Dead” cattle are
cattle that die on the farm (i.e. before reaching the
slaughter plant);
Specified Risk Materials (SRMs) that are known
to harbor the highest concentrations of the infectious
agent for BSE, such as the brain, skull, eyes, and
spinal cord of cattle 30 months or older, and a
portion of the small intestine and tonsils from all
cattle, regardless of their age or health; and
The product known as mechanically separated beef,
a product which may contain SRMs. Meat obtained
by Advanced Meat Recovery (an automated system
for cutting meat from bones), may be used since
USDA regulations do not allow the presence of
SRMs in this product.
