Your Beef Liver Capsules Don’t Work - Use this Instead

Episode Description:

Hundreds of voices online told you that beef liver is nature's perfect multivitamin. It is ancestral. It is clean. It is the thing that is finally going to fix your energy. And you have been taking it every single day. There is a problem.

Beef liver is not a multivitamin. A multivitamin gives you a small dose of a lot of things. Beef liver does the opposite. It gives you a massive dose of a few things and almost nothing of the rest. And the dose is exactly what is hurting people.

Dr. G breaks it down — in order:

Take 1: "Beef liver is not nature's multivitamin. It's a mega dose" Dr. G reframes the entire organ meat supplement trend and explains why the comparison to a multivitamin is the most dangerous idea in this space. More is not better when the ceiling is this low and the nutrient is fat soluble.

Take 2: "A single serving of beef liver already doubles the daily upper limit for vitamin A" The National Nutrition Board ceiling for vitamin A is 3,000 micrograms. One 3 oz serving of beef liver has more than 6,000. Dr. G explains why this matters more than most people realize, what fat soluble storage actually means for your liver and bones over months of daily use, and why pregnant women especially need to hear this one.

Take 3: "Oysters are closer to nature's multivitamin than beef liver is" Packed with zinc, B12, copper, and selenium in a form that is almost impossible to overdo, oysters make the case that beef liver ever earned the multivitamin title in the first place. Dr. G explains why the organ meat trend picked the wrong organ.

Take 4: "If a company is not willing to show you third party testing, skip it" The liver is the filter organ for the animal you are eating. If the animal was raised poorly, that filter collected everything. Dr. G names the multivitamin brands that passed his independent investigation and explains exactly what he looks for on a label before he recommends anything to a patient.

Eat it as a food sparingly. Do not take it as a daily supplement. Know the difference.

Product reviews assess both brand transparency and product quality. If a company doesn’t respond to our outreach, it doesn’t automatically mean their product is low quality but it does mean they’re failing their customers on transparency and communication.

We reach out multiple times. No response isn’t an oversight, it's a choice. And consumers deserve better.
