Field Notes

Beef liver and organ supplements, without the liver dinner

Beef organ supplements are organ meat that has been dried, milled and packed into capsules. Beef liver supplements are the single-organ version. We make three: Beef Liver (3,000 mg of desiccated grass-fed beef liver per six-capsule serving), the Beef Organ Complex (liver, heart, kidney, spleen and pancreas together), and Beef Testicle. Each is one ingredient, or one blend of organs, in a beef gelatin capsule. Nothing else is on the label.

Liver on its own, or the five-organ blend?

ProductWhat's in itPick it if
Beef LiverDesiccated grass-fed beef liver, 3,000 mg per 6 capsulesYou want liver specifically, with its vitamin A, B12 and copper
Beef Organ ComplexGrass-fed liver, heart, kidney, spleen and pancreas, 6 capsulesYou'd rather spread a serving across five organs than put it all on liver
Beef TesticleDesiccated grass-fed beef testicle, 6 capsulesYou're rounding out a nose-to-tail routine. It isn't a testosterone product, and we don't sell it as one

Most people start with one bottle, not three. If you can't decide, the Organ Complex is the broader pick and Beef Liver is the concentrated one.

What liver actually carries

USDA FoodData Central lists 100 grams of cooked (braised) beef liver at 9,440 mcg RAE of vitamin A, 70.6 mcg of vitamin B12, 14.3 mg of copper, 6.54 mg of iron and 29.1 grams of protein (FDC 168626). That's why liver gets called nature's multivitamin, and also why you shouldn't treat it like candy.

How to take them

  • Six capsules, once a day, with water. That's one serving on every bottle. Breakfast is the easy habit; splitting the six across the day works too.
  • One product at a time, to start. Stacking liver on top of the Organ Complex doubles up on liver, so check the vitamin A math above first.
  • Grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle in Argentina and New Zealand. Raised without added hormones or antibiotics. No fillers, no flow agents. The capsule is beef gelatin.

Frequently asked questions

What are beef organ supplements?

Capsules of dried, powdered organ meat, usually liver, heart, kidney, spleen and pancreas. Beef liver supplements are the single-organ version. They give you organ meat without buying, cooking or tasting it. Ours are one ingredient or one organ blend in a beef gelatin capsule.

Should I take beef liver or the Beef Organ Complex?

Take Beef Liver if you want liver itself, with its vitamin A, B12 and copper. Take the Beef Organ Complex if you'd rather spread each serving across liver, heart, kidney, spleen and pancreas. Both are six capsules a day. Taking both doubles up on liver, so start with one.

How do you take beef liver capsules?

Six capsules once a day with water, which is one serving of 3,000 mg of desiccated beef liver. Most people take them with breakfast. You can split the six across the day if swallowing them at once is a chore. The capsules have no liver taste.

Where do the organs come from?

Grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle in Argentina and New Zealand, raised without added hormones or antibiotics. The organs are dried, milled and put in beef gelatin capsules, with nothing else added.

How much vitamin A is in beef liver?

A lot. USDA FoodData Central lists 9,440 mcg RAE of vitamin A in 100 grams of cooked beef liver (FDC 168626), and NIH sets the adult upper limit for preformed vitamin A at 3,000 mcg RAE a day. A capsule serving is 3 grams of dried liver, far less than a meal of liver, but count it if you also eat liver or take vitamin A.

Do beef organ supplements have iron?

Yes. Liver is an iron-rich organ, and USDA FoodData Central lists 6.54 mg of iron in 100 grams of cooked beef liver (FDC 168626). Our capsule labels don't state iron per serving, so we won't quote a per-capsule number or promise what it does for your iron levels.

Does beef testicle raise testosterone?

We don't claim that, and we don't sell Beef Testicle as a testosterone product. It's a nose-to-tail organ in capsule form for people who want to eat the whole animal. If testosterone is the question, that's a conversation for your doctor and a blood test.

Can I take organ supplements while pregnant or nursing?

The label says to consult a physician first if you're pregnant or nursing, and that's the right call. Liver is very high in preformed vitamin A, and NIH notes experts advise pregnant and lactating women not to take more than 3,000 mcg RAE of vitamin A from supplements daily.
