If you are doing a water fast without calories, they will break your fast because a serving contains a very small amount of calories. However, if your fasting goals are autophagy or healing your gut microbiome, you can take the supplements without negatively affecting those goals.

One serving of our grass-fed liver capsules contains 463% of the RDA for vitamin B12, 522% for vitamin A, 77% for copper and between 10 - 40% for vitamins B2, B3, B5, B7, B9. a good dose of iron.

We gently freeze dry raw organs, sourced from a grass-fed, organically certified farm, to preserve as many of the delicate nutrients and enzymes they contain as possible.

It’s difficult to answer this without knowing specifically which multivitamin you’re taking. However, like plant foods, multivitamins often contain precursor versions of vitamins and minerals. For example, beta-carotene instead of vitamin A. If you have the BCM01 gene, which according to one study between 32-69% of women in the UK do, you will struggle to convert beta-carotene into the active form of vitamin A, called retinol. Our organ meat capsules contain vitamin A in this active form. The same can be said for minerals such as iron. Most plant foods and supplements contain non-heme iron, which is much less bioavailable (and can have an active effect) compared to heme iron, which is abundant in animal foods, especially organ meats. In general, we recommend getting as many micronutrients from whole foods as possible. If you don't care for the taste of organ meats or want the nutrients they provide to continually circulate through your system to perform at your best, our capsules are a great way to achieve this.

When it comes to animal feed, the organic logo can unfortunately be a bit of a smokescreen. Technically, an animal can be considered organic if it is fed an unnatural but organic feed, such as grains or soy. We believe that animals, like humans, are best off eating the food they have had for most of history, before the food industry started introducing unnatural foods that cause disease into modern society. For this reason, we believe that livestock should eat grass and also be outside for a large part of the year if the weather permits. For this reason, we only use the organs of free-range livestock. This means that our cattle are fed a natural diet of grass, wild flowers and herbs and are kept outside for as long as possible. If they do have to go inside due to bad weather, they are fed sustainably managed pasture. That said, the farm the livestock comes from also does not use pesticides, herbicides or hormones.

The capsules are medium sized and we have never had anyone say they were too big to swallow. However, if you prefer to open them and add them to bone broth or other dishes, that is fine.

It takes approximately 15g of raw beef organs to make 6 capsules. Weston A Price and other leading nutritionists in the field such as Chris Masterjohn recommend consuming approximately 170-225g of beef liver per week. Our capsules comprise 105g of this daily, divided to ensure the key micronutrients they provide are constantly circulating in your system. We also recommend consuming one serving of organ meat (approximately 65-120g) per week.

It really depends on your specific needs... Beef organs contain a wider variety of micronutrients, including some more unique nutrients like Selenium (great for immunity and thyroid function) and CoQ10, which is great for cardiovascular health. While beef liver does contain less variety, the nutrients it does contain (vitamin A, all the B vitamins, copper, etc.) are denser. Personally, I tend to go for beef organs because I have a history of poor heart health in my family and I generally recommend it over beef liver for men because they need more heart support. Whereas for women, I usually recommend beef liver. That being said, it may be worth trying one or the other and seeing which one works best for you.

Many of you have asked if liver is safe to eat during pregnancy. Since this is such a sensitive time in life, we decided to outsource the answering to a professional… Lily Nichols RDN is a prenatal and postpartum dietitian and author of Real Food for Pregnancy. Her thoughts on the subject, found in her book and on her website, are as follows: “Many of you reading this may have been specifically warned not to consume liver during pregnancy, precisely because it is high in vitamin A. This has caused controversy over the years, especially because early studies linked high doses of synthetic supplemental vitamin A to birth defects. However, we now know that naturally occurring vitamin A does not exert this toxicity, especially when consumed with adequate vitamin D and vitamin K2, nutrients that are also found in abundance in liver. This perfectly illustrates why getting nutrients from food is much safer than getting nutrients from supplements. As one researcher notes, “Liver and supplements do not have equivalent teratogenic potential [risk of causing birth defects]. Advice to pregnant women about liver consumption based on the reported teratogenicity of vitamin A supplements should be reconsidered.” The ongoing concerns about vitamin A toxicity from liver consumption are perplexing, given that deficiency is quite common in pregnant women. One study found that one-third of pregnant women were borderline deficient, despite having access to adequate vitamin A-rich foods. This essential nutrient is widely recognized for its role in normal growth and development during pregnancy, including the developing lungs, kidneys, heart, eyes, and other organs. Even the National Institutes of Health states, “Pregnant women need additional vitamin A for fetal growth, tissue maintenance, and to support their own metabolism.” Certainly, excess amounts of any nutrient are problematic, and since vitamin A is fat-soluble, it increases the risk of toxicity. However, given what we know about deficiencies and the safety of vitamin A from foods, this is no defense of the recommendation to avoid liver, our most valuable food source of the vitamin.”
