Beef organ complex (desiccated)
Tier 2 — promising · Bioavailable iron · B12 · Copper · CoQ10 · Ancestral · Whole food
Freeze-dried concentrates of beef liver, heart, kidney, and spleen providing heme iron (2.5× more absorbable than plant-based iron), vitamin B12, copper, CoQ10, and fat-soluble vitamins in their natural food matrix. A 2023 observational study found desiccated liver users had significantly higher serum B12 and ferritin than matched controls. No large RCTs exist. Primary risk: vitamin A toxicity from concentrated liver at high doses — beef liver contains 6,000–9,000 mcg retinol equivalent per 100 g. Also high in purines (gout risk). Those with iron overload conditions (haemochromatosis)…
Dose: 3–6 capsules/day (typically 500 mg each) of grass-fed freeze-dried beef organ blend. Do not exceed label recommendation due to vitamin A accumulation.
