Description

This ancestral superfood blend is made from 50% beef liver, 25% heart and 25% kidney. These are three of the most nutrient dense foods on the earth (see icons below for details) and when consumed together epitomise nose-to-tail nutrition. All our organs are sourced from an organic certified farm where the cattle are grass-fed and free to roam on pastures. We gently freeze dry the organs raw to maintain as many of the fragile nutrients and enzymes within them. Each jar contains 180, 500mg capsules.

LIVER

Considered the most nutrient rich organ, liver is an amazing source of vitamins A, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12. It’s also rich in the minerals iron, phosphorous, zinc and copper. Vitamin B12 is vital for the biochemical process methylation and copper is needed for the creation of red blood cells, which transport oxygen around the body.

HEART

An excellent source of CoQ10, which is important for cardiovascular health. Abundant in vitamins B3 and B12 as well as the minerals magnesium, zinc and iron. Rich in the amino acids glycine and proline which are essential for connective tissue, joint and digestive health.

KIDNEY

One of the best known food sources of selenium which helps support immunity, blood flow, thyroid function, fertility and has powerful antioxidant properties. An excellent source of vitamins A, B2, B3, B12 and minerals such as zinc and iron.

ORGANIC & GRASS-FED

All our organs come from an organic 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 fertilisers, pesticides or other artificial chemicals. 

 
ABOUT THE PRODUCT

Grass-Fed Beef Organs

Our ancestors understood the importance of eating the whole animal, nose to tail. They appreciated that animals gave their lives to ensure us as humans could survive and thrive so they left nothing go to waste. Also, because of their deep connection with the earth and their own bodies they intuitively knew just how nutrient dense organ meat is. Finally they believed that eating the organ of a healthy animal, would strengthen their own corresponding organ, thus enhancing their health and vitality. 

Fast forward to today and the immense powers of organ meat 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 grass-fed beef organ complex to help people reintroduce these ancestral superfoods, loaded with bioavailable nutrients in an easy to consume and flavourless way.

FAQS

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’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR BEEF ORGANS AND OTHER ORGAN MEAT PRODUCTS ON THE MARKET?

Our organs come from a grass-fed and organic certified farm where the cattle are free to roam on pasture. We use heart (25%), liver (50%) and kidney (25%) to ensure a wide variety of bioavailable micronutrients. 

WHAT ARE THE MAIN NUTRIENTS IN ORGAN MEAT? 

Key nutrients include fat soluble vitamins A, B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine), B7 (Biotin), B9 (Folate) and B12 . Organs are also a great source of the minerals Phosphorous, Copper, Selenium and Iron.

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. 

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.

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 certified organic and therefore uses no pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics 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.
