Most of us know that liver is good for you but do you know why, and if so, why aren't you eating it? Grass Fed and grass-finished liver from pasture-raised cows is among the most nutritionally dense foods in existence. This type of high-quality liver is loaded with vitamins, minerals, proteins and healthy fats that support collagen synthesis (think skin, hair and connective tissues), immune health, and heart, brain and liver health.* Our early ancestors knew this, which is why their traditional diets included the frequent and nourishing consumption of this nutritional powerhouse. If you can't stomach the taste of liver, you can easily throw a few capsules down the hatch without incident — beef liver capsules are virtually tasteless. If you're looking into a high-quality desiccated liver supplement, see below so that you know what to look for.

Traditional peoples, Native Americans and early ancestral healers knew that eating the organs from a healthy animal would strengthen and support the health of the corresponding organ of the individual. For instance, the traditional way of treating a person with a weak heart was to feed the person the heart of a healthy animal. Similarly, eating the kidneys of a healthy animal was believed to support urinary ailments and overall kidney health... Pancreas was fed to people with digestive problems... and spleen was fed to people with immune and blood deficiencies.

Organs were a staple of our early ancestors' diets as the ultimate superfood, for good reason. It turns out, this nourishing tradition is backed by science...

"Radioisotope labeling studies in animals have shown conclusively that, when eaten, organs and glands selectively travel to the corresponding organs and glands in high concentrations. This research, done at the University of Scotland in Edinburgh, lends credence to the ancient practice of eating animal organs to help ensure health in one’s corresponding organs..." - Dr. Ron Schmid, ND

Our early ancestors knew this, which is why their traditional diets included the frequent and nourishing consumption of like-supports-like nutrition organs.

There are various dosing strategies to consider when taking all natural desiccated thyroid (NDT). Each capsule provides 30MG of desiccated thyroid (with 470MG of desiccated liver). A conservative dose is just one capsule a day; however, it is more common to take two capsules a day for the first two weeks, then increase by one capsule every two weeks in search of the optimal dose. As a reminder, Grass Fed Beef Thyroid is a natural, whole food dietary supplement, unlike Armour, Naturethroid, Westhroid-P (WP) and NP Thyroid which are concentrated USP thyroid extracts derived from porcine. For an in depth dosing resource on USP thyroid extracts.

• Weeks 1 & 2 - Two capsules daily in the early morning (or) split dosage
• Weeks 3 & 4 - Three capsules daily in the early morning (or) split dosage
 
• Weeks 5 & 6 - Four capsules daily in the early morning (or) split dosage
• Weeks 7 & 8 - Five capsules daily in the early morning (or) split dosage
 
• Weeks 9 & 10 - Six capsules daily in the early morning (or) split dosage
• Weeks 11 & 12 - Seven capsules daily in the early morning (or) split dosage
• Weeks 13 & 14 - Eight capsules daily in the early morning (or) split dosage

Early Morning: Take one capsule as soon as you wake in the morning on an empty stomach. Wait at least one hour before food and ideally two hours before coffee. If you haven't tried bulletproof coffee, now might be a good time.

Split Dosage: Take a main dosage in the early morning (e.g. four capsules), then take a smaller dosage in the afternoon (e.g. two capsules). This can help to achieve a more stable level of energy throughout the day without disrupting sleep.

The primary issue that can occur with consuming natural desiccated thyroid is over-stimulation. This is an indication that a person has taken too much at a given time. Signs of over-stimulation include: increased heart rate (or) heart palpitations, feeling anxious, feeling shaky, feeling hotter than usual and sometimes fatigue. It is important to reduce the dosage following any issue, such as those related to over-stimulation. The effects of over-stimulation are temporary and should subside within a few hours; however, if over-stimulation persists beyond twenty-four hours, this should be addressed by a qualified healthcare professional.

Iron Profile (Liver, Organs, Spleen)

* One serving of our Grass Fed Beef Liver provides approximately 2mgs of glandular derived heme iron. Heme iron is bound to hemoglobin of which up to 33% is absorbed compared to non-heme iron which can have as little as 2% absorption... 2mgs per serving may not sound like a lot but a little heme iron can make a substantial difference in managing your iron status. Here is the iron profile for other popular products:

• Liver — 2.0 to 3.0 mg per serving
• Organs — 5.0 mg per serving
• Spleen — 12.5 mg per serving

Other Ingredients: Gelatin Capsules

Suggested Use: Six capsules daily or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Six capsules provide the equivalent of about one ounce of fresh, raw whole bovine liver that you’d get from your local farmer (or) butcher. Our Grass Fed Beef Liver is a whole food dietary supplement that can be taken with (or) without food (even though it technically is food). The suggested use is 6 capsules a day or as directed by a healthcare professional — for added support, the dose can be doubled. This supplement can be consumed all at once, or in divided servings throughout the day.

Most customers tolerate our supplements without incident; however, approximately 5 to 10% of customers (usually with an autoimmune condition) may experience a detoxification reaction. Detoxification reactions go by many different names including healing reactions, healing crises, cleansing reactions (or) Herxheimer reactions with hallmark symptoms of nausea, headache, lethargy, dizziness and other flu like symptoms. In this instance, detoxification reactions are generally an indication that detoxification pathways in the body are back online... cells suddenly have an opportunity to release an even greater than normal quantity of stored toxins, metabolic wastes, pathogens and unwanted material.

A detoxification reaction is more likely to occur when starting with the full suggested serving size of 6 capsules per day. If you know that you are sensitive to supplements and/or you have an autoimmune condition, you may wish to start slow when adding this product to your current regimen. Tolerability can be greatly improved by starting with just 1 (or) 2 capsules a day and increasing by just 1 capsule every couple of days — this method may take a full two to three weeks to achieve the desired serving size of 6 capsules per day.

If tolerability remains an issue with just 1 (or) 2 capsules a day, our Beef Organs product (w/ liver, heart, kidney, pancreas, spleen) may be a better match for you. We have many customers that experience tolerability issues with our stand-alone Liver product but do wonderfully with the Beef Organs. If you're having trouble tolerating the Liver, and you know that you need the powerful nourishment that only like-supports-like nutrition organs can provide, try the Beef Organs... start with just 1 capsule a day and increase by just 1 capsule every two to three days. This strategy works for most but if it doesn't work for you, let us know and we'll provide a full refund.
