Nutrient Levels In Beef Organ Supplements

Organ meats are some of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. One of the questions we get most often is how much of a particular nutrient is in a serving of beef organ supplements.

How Much Nutrients Are In Beef Organ Supplements?

Before we get into it, there are a few things to know.

The first is that the amounts of a particular nutrient will vary from batch to batch because they are whole foods. When you go to the grocery store and buy some blueberries or oranges, the amount of nutrients in those varies from harvest to harvest and farm to farm. However, when was the last time you thought about the vitamin or mineral content when picking up some raspberries? You know they are healthy for you, and it’s more than just about the vitamin or mineral content. It’s essential to view your beef organs the same way. Yes, they are full of vitamins and minerals, but other things in them matter just as much as the nutrients. 

Another thing to keep in mind is that the nutrients in beef organs are much more bioavailable and usable by the body than traditional synthetic and isolated vitamins and minerals found in most supplements, and they have the cofactors needed to help your body utilize them properly. For example, beef blood contains heme iron and B12 and folate cofactors, as well as red blood cells, to help support healthy iron levels. In contrast, traditional iron supplements like ferrous sulfate contain non-heme iron, which is poorly utilized by the body, which is why it has so many gastrointestinal side effects. When the body better utilizes nutrients, you don’t need as much to get the benefits.

Freeze-Dried Beef Organs Versus Fresh Beef Organs

Now that we’ve got those things out of the way, let’s go over how beef organ supplements compare to fresh beef organs. 

Three grams (3000 milligrams) of NXGEN Wholefoods beef organs equal about 30 grams (30,000 milligrams) of fresh organs. Keep in mind that how many nutrients and compounds are preserved in the fresh organs when they are turned into powders depends on how fresh the organs are when they arrive at that facility and how well the drying and milling processes are performed. You want to purchase your beef organ supplements from companies that source the organs directly from farms and then dry and mill them in-house. Unfortunately, almost no companies do this. That’s just one of the things that makes NXGEN Wholefoods much different than other beef organ supplement companies.

Beef Organs Are More Than Just Vitamins And Minerals

While beef organs are a great source of nutrients, it’s important to remember that whole foods are about so much more than just the amounts of vitamins and minerals. Enzymes, peptides, cofactors, collagens, proteins, growth factors, and more provide benefits that you cannot get from standard vitamin and mineral supplements. Real, whole food supplements will always have far more benefits than their synthetic counterparts.
