Meet MK Supplements: From Austrian Sprinter to Perfectionist Supplement Maker

We're inspired to introduce MK Supplements, founded in 2021 by Michael Kummer with support from his family, including wife Kathy and their two trilingual children Isabella and Lucas. As a blogger and healthy-living enthusiast who tried and reviewed supplements from dozens of brands, Michael's perfectionist nature and refusal to compromise on health led him to develop his own supplements—starting with what he considers nature's ultimate multivitamin: grass-fed beef liver supplements made from 100% pasture-raised New Zealand cattle, using gentle freeze-drying methods free from harsh chemicals and packaged in sustainable, non-toxic glass or recycled paper, proving that optimizing health requires exact specifications without compromise.

Hi, I'm Michael Kummer!

I started MK Supplements with support from my family in 2021, with the goal of offering the highest-quality dietary supplements on the market. This family-supported venture reflects the collaborative approach that defines the Kummer household.

Blogger and Healthy-Living Enthusiast

As a blogger and healthy-living enthusiast, I've tried and reviewed supplements from dozens of brands—many of which I've recommended to my friends and followers. This extensive experience provided the foundation for understanding what works and what doesn't in the supplement industry.

A Perfectionist Who Doesn't Compromise

But I'm a perfectionist, and I don't like making compromises when it comes to my health (or the health of my family and readers). This uncompromising approach drives every decision at MK Supplements.

Developing My Own Supplements

That's why I decided to develop my own supplements: to make sure that both the quality of the ingredients and the type of packaging used meet my exact specifications. This control ensures that nothing falls short of Michael's exacting standards.

Nature's Ultimate Multivitamin

Our first product is what I consider nature's ultimate multivitamin: grass-fed beef liver supplements made from 100% pasture-raised New Zealand cattle. This choice reflects deep research into the most nutrient-dense foods available.

Gentle Freeze-Drying Method

To turn fresh liver into capsules, we use a gentle freeze-drying method that's free from the harsh chemicals utilized by other brands. This process preserves nutrients while avoiding toxic processing methods.

Regenerative and Eco-Friendly Manufacturing

Plus, we're committed to regenerative and eco-friendly manufacturing. Our supplements come in sustainable, non-toxic packaging made from glass or recycled paper (which is better for you and better for the environment).

Optimizing Health for Long, Active Life

We believe that our organ meat supplements can help you and your family optimize your health and live a long, active life. This mission extends beyond just selling supplements to genuinely improving lives.

Meet Michael and Kathy Kummer

We're Michael and Kathy Kummer, the husband-and-wife team behind MK Supplements, the Kummer Homestead project, and the widely read lifestyle blog MichaelKummer.com.

Michael's Austrian Roots

Michael was born and raised in Austria and relocated to the United States in 2007. Since moving to the U.S., Michael has lived and worked in the greater Atlanta area as an executive in the IT field.

Professional Sprinter and Military Service

In his 20s, he was a professional 100-meter sprinter and spent three years in the Austrian armed forces. This athletic background informs his understanding of performance nutrition and physical optimization.

5.5 Million Readers and Counting

Michael launched his blog in 2012, where he writes about the intersection of health, fitness and technology. His work has been read by over 5.5 million people, establishing him as a trusted voice in the health and wellness space.

Kathy's Costa Rican Journey

Kathy was born in Costa Rica and came to the United States in 2008 as an au pair. At the end of her nearly two-year tenure—and right when she was about to return to Costa Rica to pursue her studies in criminology—she met Michael and they got married less than a year later.

Proud Parents of Trilingual Children

We're proud parents of two trilingual children, Isabella and Lucas. When Isabella was born in 2013, Kathy decided to become a stay-at-home mom and focus her energy on providing an environment her family could thrive in.

Dietary Evolution Journey

Around that time, we started transitioning away from the Standard American Diet by cutting out all added sugars. Later, we transitioned to a paleo diet, then keto, and then finally to an animal-based diet.

Suburban Homestead Life

When not working on our suburban homestead (taking care of our beehives and chickens), you can find us at our local CrossFit box. This hands-on approach to food production informs their supplement philosophy.

100% Pasture-Raised New Zealand Cattle

Using "100% pasture-raised New Zealand cattle" ensures the highest quality liver from animals raised in optimal conditions without hormones or antibiotics.

Free From Harsh Chemicals

The commitment to freeze-drying that's "free from the harsh chemicals utilized by other brands" sets MK Supplements apart from competitors who use cheaper, more toxic processing methods.

Sustainable Glass or Recycled Paper Packaging

Packaging in "sustainable, non-toxic packaging made from glass or recycled paper" demonstrates that environmental responsibility and personal health go hand in hand.

Better for You and the Environment

The recognition that sustainable packaging is "better for you and better for the environment" reflects the holistic thinking that defines MK Supplements' approach.

Exact Specifications Control

Michael's insistence on "exact specifications" for both ingredients and packaging ensures that nothing is left to chance or compromised for convenience or cost.

From Standard American Diet to Animal-Based

The Kummer family's dietary evolution from Standard American Diet through paleo and keto to "animal-based diet" demonstrates their willingness to continuously learn and adapt based on results.

Beehives and Chickens

Maintaining "beehives and chickens" on their suburban homestead connects the Kummers directly to food production and reinforces their commitment to knowing where food comes from.

CrossFit Box Community

Being active at their "local CrossFit box" demonstrates the Kummers' commitment to physical fitness and community that complements their nutritional focus.

Professional Sprinter Background

Michael's experience as a "professional 100-meter sprinter" provides firsthand understanding of elite athletic performance and the nutritional demands of peak physical condition.

Austrian Armed Forces Discipline

Three years in the "Austrian armed forces" instilled discipline and attention to detail that carries through to MK Supplements' exacting standards.

IT Executive Precision

Working as an "executive in the IT field" brings analytical thinking and systems optimization to supplement development and business operations.

At Daily Health & Beauty, we're impressed by Michael and Kathy Kummer's journey from Standard American Diet to animal-based living, and Michael's perfectionist approach to creating MK Supplements. Their commitment to grass-fed beef liver from 100% pasture-raised New Zealand cattle, gentle freeze-drying free from harsh chemicals, and sustainable non-toxic packaging makes MK Supplements a perfect addition to our curated collection of uncompromising wellness brands.
