Beef liver is the earth’s original (and best) multi-vitamin. An amazing source of vitamins A, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12 as well as minerals copper, phosphorus, selenium and iron. In terms of variety and density of micronutrients, no other natural food really stacks up. This is especially true due to all the nutrients in liver being in the most bioavailable (useable) format for humans. Like all of our nose-to-tail supplements, our beef liver capsules are made from cattle that are 100% grass-fed and completely free from antibiotics, hormones and foods contaminated with fertilisers, pesticides or any other artificial chemicals.
NATURE'S MULTIVITAMIN
One serving contains 371% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for vitamin B12, 163% for copper and between 10-40% for vitamins B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and minerals phosphorous and selenium.
VITAMIN B12
Playing a key role in methylation, vitamin B12 aids with energy production, immunity, nervous system health, DNA repair, hormone regulation and detoxification.
COPPER
Required for the creation of red blood cells, which transport oxygen around the body, adequate copper is vital for energy. It also helps with immunity, collagen formation and glutathione (the bodies major antioxidant) activity.
100% GRASS-FED & FINISHED
All our organs come from a farm where the cattle roam freely on pasture consuming a natural diet of grass. This means our cattle graze outside for as much of the year as weather conditions allow. Also, they are completely antibiotic/hormone free and their diet contains no foods contaminated with fertilisers, pesticides or other artificial chemicals.
ABOUT THE PRODUCT
Grass-Fed Beef Liver
Eating whole animals, nose-to-tail, was a way of life for our ancestors. They believed that consuming the organ of a healthy animal would strengthen and enhance the health of their own corresponding organ. Interestingly, this is just now being validated by science. Research conducted at the University of Edinburgh in animal models has shown conclusively that when eaten, organs and glands selectively travel to the corresponding organs of the consumer in high concentrations. Therefore when the liver is consumed, the unique vitamins, minerals and enzymes within it, which are key for liver health and function, travel to your own liver.
Our ancestors also appreciated that animals gave their lives to ensure us as humans could survive and thrive so they left nothing go to waste. And because of their deep connection with the earth and their own bodies they intuitively knew just how nutrient dense organ meat is and would prise this over muscle meats. Fast forward to today and the immense powers of organs have somewhat been forgotten. What was once highly sought after is now rarely consumed and generally people no longer enjoy the taste. We created our nose-to-tail line to help people reintroduce these ancestral superfoods, loaded with nutrients in an easy to consume and flavourless way.
HOW TO USE
Consume 1-6 capsules per day (500-3000mg). See our infographic above to work out the best serving size for you.WHEN TO USE
Take 6 capsules per day, ideally in the morning to flood your body with micronutrients for the day ahead. Each jar contains 180 capsules (30 day supply) and each capsule is 500mg.
DO THE CAPSULES TASTE OF ANYTHING?
No. One of the reasons we created this product is because we understand that a lot of people struggle with the flavour of these nutrient dense super foods. Therefore we made sure that you get absolutely no taste when swallowing the capsules. They don't have any aftertaste either... don't worry you won't be doing any liver burps!
WHAT ARE THE MAIN NUTRIENTS IN BEEF LIVER?
One serving of our Grass-Fed Liver capsules contains 371% of the RDA for vitamin B12, 163% for copper and between 10 - 40% for vitamins B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and minerals phosphorous and selenium.
HOW DO YOU ENSURE ALL THE BENEFICIAL NUTRIENTS ARE MAINTAINED THROUGH PROCESSING?
We gently freeze dry raw organs sourced from a grass-fed and organic certified farm to maintain as many of the fragile nutrients and enzymes found within them.
WILL TAKING THIS ALONGSIDE MY MULTI-VITAMIN RESULT IN ME OVER CONSUMING MICRONUTRIENTS?
It’s difficult to answer this without knowing specifically what multi-vitamin you are taking. However, often multi-vitamins, like plant foods, contain pre-cursor versions of vitamins and minerals. For example, beta-carotene instead of vitamin A. If you have the BCM01 gene, which one study estimated that between 32-69% of women in the UK have, 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 for minerals like iron. Most plant foods and supplements contain non-heme iron, which is much less bioavailable (able to have an active effect) when compared to heme-iron, which is abundant in animal foods especially organ meats. Generally speaking, we recommend to get as much of your micro-nutrients as possible from whole foods and if you’re not keen on how organ meats taste or you want to have the nutrients they provide constantly circulating in your system to perform optimally, our capsules are a great way to achieve this.
WHY ISN’T THIS PRODUCT CERTIFIED ORGANIC LIKE ALL OF YOUR OTHER PRODUCTS?
Unfortunately when it comes to animal foods, the organic logo can be a bit of a smokescreen. Technically an animal can be classed as organic if they’re fed on unnatural but organic feed such as cereals or soy. We believe it’s best that animals, like humans, should be eating the foods they have throughout the vast majority of history before the food industry started introducing unnatural foods that are causing disease in modern society. To this effect, we believe cattle should be eating grass and in addition to this should be living outdoors for as much of the year as weather conditions allow. For this reason, we only use the organs from cattle that are free to roam on pastures. This means that our cattle eat a natural diet of grass, wildflowers and herbs and are kept outdoors for as long as possible. If they do have to be brought inside due to poor weather, they are fed preserved pasture. That said, the farm the cattle are from is also uses no pesticides, herbicides or hormones.
HOW LARGE ARE THE CAPSULES / CAN THEY BE BROKEN AND SPRINKLED INTO FOOD?
The capsules are a medium size and we haven’t come across anyone so far that’s said they’re too big to swallow. However, if you would prefer to open them and add them to bone broth or other dishes this is absolutely fine.
HOW MUCH RAW ORGANS DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE ONE SERVING SIZE OF SIX CAPSULES?
It takes roughly 15g of raw beef organs to create 6 capsules. Weston A Price and other leading nutritions in this field like Chris Masterjohn recommend consuming around 170-225g of beef liver per week. Our capsules will cover 90g of this split out on a daily basis to ensure the key micronutrients they provide are continuously circulating in your system. We recommend consuming one portion of organ meat (around 80-135g) on top of this per week.
