Why Beef Liver Is Nature’s Multivitamin: Benefits, Myths & Why Freeze-Dried Is Best

When it comes to superfoods, beef liver often gets overlooked. But if you're serious about nourishing your body at a foundational level—especially if you're in recovery from hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA), dealing with fatigue, or rebuilding your health—beef liver might just become your new best friend.

Yet, for many people, the idea of cooking and eating liver regularly feels…well, less than appetizing. We get it! That’s where our freeze-dried beef liver capsules come in — offering all the benefits of liver in an easy-to-take, no-nonsense form.

So What Makes Beef Liver So Amazing?

Liver is uniquely rich in:

• Retinol (Preformed Vitamin A) – Vital for vision, skin, immune function, reproduction, and cellular health. This is not beta carotene — it’s the real deal, bioavailable and ready for your body to use.
• B Vitamins – Including B12, folate, riboflavin, and niacin. These support mood, energy metabolism, nervous system function, and detox pathways.
• Iron (Heme) – The most absorbable form of iron, critical for preventing fatigue, supporting oxygen transport, and promoting healthy blood.
• Copper, Zinc & Selenium – Key minerals involved in antioxidant defense, immune regulation, thyroid support, and more.
• Choline – Supports brain health, liver detox, fat metabolism, and fetal development in pregnancy.
• CoQ10 – A powerful antioxidant that supports heart health and mitochondrial energy.
• Vitamin K2 – Essential for directing calcium to the bones (and away from arteries), supporting bone and cardiovascular health.

All of these nutrients are naturally bound in peptides and amino acids, meaning they come with their natural cofactors — the way nature intended. That’s a big reason why liver outperforms synthetic supplements in absorption and effectiveness.

Isn’t Vitamin A Toxic in Liver?

One of the most common concerns people have is about vitamin A toxicity. Liver is high in preformed vitamin A (retinol), and you might’ve heard warnings about overdoing it.

However, the science doesn’t back up the fear.

A Dutch study investigating vitamin A intake from liver consumption found no evidence of vitamin A toxicity in healthy individuals who regularly consumed liver.¹ The researchers concluded that liver, when consumed as part of a balanced diet, does not pose a toxicity risk — and instead offers critical benefits many people are missing.

The truth? Vitamin A is essential, and liver provides it in a safe, bioavailable form that many modern diets lack.

Why Freeze-Dried Is Best

Not all liver supplements are created equal. We chose freeze-drying over desiccation (high heat) to preserve the integrity, potency, and bioavailability of liver’s delicate nutrients.

Freeze-drying uses low temperatures and sublimation (turning ice into vapor) to remove moisture without degrading nutrients. The result? A product that’s as close to fresh as you can get — without the smell, prep, or gag reflex.

Sourced with Integrity: 100% Grass-Fed New Zealand Beef Liver

We source our liver exclusively from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle in New Zealand, where strict farming practices and clean environmental standards ensure the highest quality.

Our beef liver is:

• Freeze-dried at low temperatures for nutrient preservation
• Free from fillers, flow agents, and additives
• Independently lab tested for purity and safety

This is the closest thing to fresh, nutrient-dense liver — in a form that fits your lifestyle.

Food First — But When You Can’t, We’ve Got You Covered

We believe in getting nutrients from whole foods first. But we also know liver isn’t for everyone — whether it’s the taste, smell, or sourcing. That’s exactly why we created a capsule version that makes it easy and accessible to nourish your body like nature intended.
