The Best Beef Organ Supplements: A Complete 2026 Guide

There are a lot of companies jumping on the beef organ supplements trend, but how do you know which to choose? This 2026 guide covers it all, from pasture to bottle, including sourcing, manufacturing, and lab testing.

Choosing The Best Beef Organ Supplements

There’s a lot of slick marketing, social media hijinks, fancy packaging, and advertising dollars being spent to convince you that one brand of beef organ supplements is better than the other. However, these things are not what should be used to determine whether a brand is good. This guide will help you know the questions to ask and what to look for. It’s not flashy, but it's exactly what you have been looking for.

How To Choose The Best Beef Organ Supplements

There’s a lot to look into when choosing a beef organ supplement. The following are some of the most important.

1. The Company

   1. Ownership

      1. Choose family-owned companies, not those with lots of private equity investors or owned by large corporations.

      2. Often, people will think that if they see a big name frequently in a company's social media posts, that they own the company, but this is often not the case. Dig a little deeper. Some companies go to great lengths to hide who owns part or all of the company.

   2. Vertically integrated

      1. Look for companies that get their organs directly from farmers and do the drying, milling, encapsulating, and bottling in-house, because it’s very important to know who handles every part of the process. Transparency is your best friend.

      2. It’s a dirty secret in the beef organ supplement industry that nearly all of the companies don’t source, produce, or bottle their own products. This means you never truly know who is making your supplements.

   3. Meat Inspectors

      1. Choose companies that have their own meat inspectors. This ensures that they can get the very best quality meat and organs and reject any that don’t meet their standards. If a company doesn’t inspect every batch of fresh meat and organs, it has no way of knowing whether lower-quality or subpar items were mixed in.

   4. Experience

      1. Look for companies with generations of experience in the meat and butchering industry, not just in the supplement industry. Making a beef organ supplement requires knowing how to source the best-quality beef, and no one knows that better than experienced butchers with deep ties to the local farming community.

2. Regenerative, organic, and grass-fed farming

   1. True regenerative farming produces the best beef and beef organs. Unfortunately, many beef organ supplements are produced with fake regenerative farming practices. Look for companies that specify the exact region of the country from which they source organs and the farms they come from, not just the country of origin, because there are good and bad farms in every country.

   2. 100% Grass-fed and finished cattle that roam free over vast areas.

   3. Cattle should roam freely, grazing on a huge variety of natural plants and grasses. Unfortunately, many “grass-fed cattle” are kept in feedlots and fed alfalfa pellets. 

   4. It’s important to choose companies that source their organs directly from farms, so they know the cattle are truly free-roaming. If companies buy bulk organ powders from a middleman, they have no way of knowing if the cattle were really pastured or just fed alfalfa pellets.

   5. The cattle should graze on pastures that are not sprayed with pesticides or fertilized with additives like nitrates. 

   6. Most people don’t know that these practices are used on many pastures where many grass-fed cattle graze, to speed grass growth and kill unwanted insects that can come from improperly managed pastures.

   7. The land around the grazing area should be free of crop farms to avoid overspray and drift from pesticides commonly sprayed on crops like corn. 

   8. The cattle should not be given antibiotics and hormones.

   9. The cattle should not be given synthetic feed additives, such as Bovaer.

   10. The cattle should not be fed GMO grains or feed.

   11. The cattle should be bred for the environment in which they are grazing.

   12. Each batch of organs should be traceable back to the individual farms and cattle they come from.

3. The Abattoirs

   1. Only tier one abattoirs that are licensed for export and have their own DPF veterinary and meat inspectors should be used.

   2. Companies should not buy meat or organs from on-farm processing facilities due to hygiene issues, a lack of qualified inspectors, and animal and employee welfare concerns.

   3. The meat and organs should be low in histamines due to being quickly received from abattoirs after harvest, the specialized cold chain, and fast processing times. Small batch production ensures the freshest product.

4. The Facility

   1. Purpose built

      1. Beef organ supplements require specialized manufacturing equipment and processes to produce them correctly. They should be made in a facility built to manufacture them, not in a facility that manufactures lots of things, where they are just another add-on produced on generic machines.

   2. Freeze-drying Operations

      1. Freeze-drying is the best method for preserving beef organs. However, not all freeze-drying is the same. It’s important that low and slow freeze-drying is done to protect and preserve fragile compounds and nutrients. Look for companies that do their freeze-drying in-house.

   3. Milling Operations

      1. Traditional ingredient milling generates significant heat and friction, which can degrade fragile nutrients and compounds. Companies should use cryogenic milling to avoid these problems.

   4. Encapsulation and bottling

      1. Look for companies that do the encapsulation and bottling in-house to avoid the problems that come from outsourcing to contract manufacturers.

      2. The products should be free of fillers, binders, excipients, and other additives. They should only contain the beef organs and a beef gelatin capsule.

   5. TGA Certified Facility

      1. Look for beef organ supplements manufactured in a TGA-certified facility. TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) is Australia’s version of the FDA GMP (good manufacturing practices) in the United States. However, TGA certification is much stricter, with far more rules, regulations, and standards. TGA certification is considered the gold standard for quality control and safety in supplements. Many supplement companies certified GMP in the US would not meet the TGA's standards. Very few GMP-certified supplement companies in the US would be able to become TGA-certified, at their current levels of quality control, despite being GMP-certified.

Lab-Tested Beef Organ Supplements

The best beef organ supplements are tested in an accredited National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) Australian lab for pathogens and contaminants. These labs are independently vetted and have some of the strictest testing standards in the world. 

Many beef organ supplement companies use questionable, non-accredited labs that lack proper testing standards and often issue certificates of analysis riddled with issues, such as incorrect testing methods. There are a ton of problems with third-party testing, which will be detailed in an upcoming article later this month!

Why NXGEN Wholefoods Makes The Best Beef Organ Supplements

You would be hard-pressed to find a beef organ supplement company that did all the things listed above (plus the rest on the checklist). Thankfully, there is one company that decided doing things the right way was the only way and that quality was more important than marketing.

NXGEN Wholefoods is setting the standard by which all beef organ supplements should be measured, and they check off every box on the checklist. They get the beef organs directly from a coop of regenerative family farmers in the Lake Eyre River Basin of Australia. The cows graze over vast areas, eating the native grasses. The areas are so large that helicopters are needed to monitor them. Each lot of organs is traceable back to the individual farms and cattle they come from. Once they receive the organs, they use a specialized freeze-drying process, followed by cryogenic milling, to ensure the organs are not damaged by the heat generated by traditional milling. After that, they encapsulate and bottle the products. All of it is done in-house at their state-of-the-art TGA-certified (the Australian version of GMP) facility, purpose-built for the unique requirements of beef organ supplement manufacturing. NATA-certified laboratories carry out testing for pathogens and contaminants.
