Beef Liver Capsules

Where does the Beef Liver come from?

We take pride in sourcing the best quality bones from the healthiest and happiest cows we can find. Our beef liver products are proudly made from 100% grass-fed and finished cattle from New Zealand. All bones are hormone and anti-biotic-free.

What is the recommended serving suggestion?

Each serving of six capsules delivers the equivalent of one ounce of fresh, raw whole bovine liver. The recommended dosage is 3 to 6 capsules per day, or as advised by a healthcare professional. This supplement can be consumed all at once or divided into servings throughout the day. Always read the label and use it as directed. Supplementary to a balanced diet.

Why are the capsules freeze-dried and not desiccated?

Freeze drying and desiccation are both methods of processing and preserving beef liver.

Desiccation involves removing moisture from a substance, often through low-heat drying methods, which can damage or destroy the nutritional content. Therefore, we have chosen to carefully freeze-dry our beef liver to preserve and maximise its nutrient density. This process entails freezing the beef liver, then subjecting it to a vacuum environment to remove the moisture.

Do you use gelatine or vegetable casing for the capsules?

Gelatine capsules. Great for anyone on a carnivore diet.

What does non-defatted mean?

Non-defatted means that our beef liver has not undergone another process to remove the fat content. This ensures that the nutritional profile is retained, as nature intended. This is important for preserving fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.

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.

Is Beef Liver safe during pregnancy and/or breastfeeding?

Yes! Being a whole food, beef liver is a great 100% natural support during pregnancy and postpartum.

Vitamin A has been studied extensively, with various views on its safety during pregnancy. However, many practitioners suggest consuming fresh and encapsulated beef liver during pregnancy.

Most studies examining vitamin A use synthetic forms rather than the whole-food form retinol, as found in beef liver. It's also important to note that doses in studies often exceed the recommended upper limit.

The dose of vitamin A in our daily serving of beef liver capsules is 1013mcg, and in beef liver powder is 1206mcg, both of which are well below the upper limit of 3000mcg (as outlined by MedSafe).

As always, we recommend speaking with your healthcare professional to ensure that the vitamin and mineral levels in our organ supplements are suitable and safe for your unique health needs. They should also complement your dietary intake and any other prescription medications or supplements you may be taking during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Is Beef Liver safe for babies and children?

Yes! We suggest integrating liver into little ones’ diets from 6 months of age and onwards.

The recommended dosage for babies and children is 1/4 of the adult dose, a few times per week.

For powder: 1 teaspoon for adults equals 1/4 teaspoon for babies.

For capsules: 6 capsules for adults, so 1.5 capsules for babies aged 6 months and older.

As always, we recommend speaking with your healthcare professional to ensure that the vitamin and mineral levels in our organ supplements are suitable and safe for your baby’s unique needs, and complement their dietary intake.

Is the Beef Liver 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.

Does the liver store toxins?

The liver, of any animal, plays a crucial role in filtering toxins from the body. However, it's important to understand that the liver itself doesn’t “store” toxins. Instead, it stores essential nutrients used to process toxins into forms that can be eliminated from the body via the bowels, kidneys, and skin.

That said, any beef liver being consumed must be from healthy animals raised in clean environments to minimise their exposure to toxins, which may deplete the liver of the essential nutrients needed for increased detoxification demand. Our Beef Liver is sourced from 100% Grass-Fed & Finished NZ Beef.
