FAQ
How much iron is in a daily dose of our Beef Liver & Spleen capsules?
4 capsules: 7.21mg heme iron which is 60.1% RDI
6 capsules: 10.81mg heme iron which is 90.1% RDI
Why 60-90% RDI rather than 100% RDI of iron?
Less is more for iron absorption. Our bodies regulate iron intake carefully, blocking absorption when too much is present to prevent iron overload.
We formulated a specific ratio of beef liver to beef spleen to maximise co-factor nutrients while considering iron intake from whole foods. Supplements should complement a healthy diet, not replace it.
How many capsules should be taken a day?
Take 4-6 capsules a day with water. Capsules can also be opened and added to smoothies or meals. Always read the label and use as directed. Supplementary to a balanced diet.
Why not just eat raw beef liver?
Raw beef liver has a strong taste that isn't for everyone, but the benefits are undeniable. That's why we made a convenient freeze-dried and encapsulated 100% NZ grass-fed and finished beef liver.
Note: Many cultures have traditionally consumed organ meats raw or cooked with just salt and pepper. Like bone broth, we recommend consuming it whole this way if possible.
Can I also use Beef Liver & Spleen as my B12 supplement?
Yes! While our pure Beef Liver capsules or powder provide more vitamin B12, our Beef Liver and Spleen capsules still offer 123% of the RDI of Vitamin B12.
Is the Beef Liver & Spleen Halal?
Yes. All our products are verified to comply with Islamic dietary laws and are therefore permissible for consumption or use by Muslims. Halal certification indicates that the product has been produced, processed, and handled according to Islamic principles, ensuring that it does not contain any forbidden ingredients or involve any prohibited practices in its manufacturing process.
Is Beef Liver & Spleen safe during pregnancy and/or breastfeeding?
Yes. Being whole-food, beef liver & spleen are a great 100% natural support during pregnancy and postpartum.
Vitamin A is often scrutinised for safety during pregnancy. However, many practitioners recommend consuming fresh and encapsulated beef liver and spleen during pregnancy.
Most studies on vitamin A use synthetic forms rather than the whole-food form of retinol found in beef liver. It's also important to note that the doses in studies are often far above the recommended upper limit.
The dose of vitamin A in our daily serving of beef liver & spleen capsules is 442mcg, well below the upper limit of 3000mcg (as outlined by MedSafe).
As always, we suggest speaking with your healthcare professional to ensure the vitamin and mineral levels in our organ supplements are suitable and safe for your unique health needs and complement both your dietary intake and any other prescription medications or supplements you may be taking during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Is Beef Liver & Spleen safe for babies & children?
Yes! We suggest integrating liver into little ones’ diets from 6 months of age and onwards. For babies, use 1/4 of the adult dose a few times a week. For adults, the dose is 4 capsules, so for babies 6 months and older, it's 1 capsule.
As always, we recommend speaking with your healthcare professional to ensure the vitamin and mineral levels in our organ supplements are suitable and safe for your baby’s unique needs and complement their dietary intake.
