How to Choose a Quality Liver Extract Supplement
Not all liver supplements are created equal. One Earth Health’s product stands out thanks to its sourcing and processing standards. The cattle are raised year-round on pesticide-free volcanic soil in New Zealand, with no hormones, antibiotics, or feedlots. Third-party data shows that NZ liver is significantly higher in key nutrients than grain-fed alternatives. The freeze-dried desiccation process preserves heat-sensitive vitamins and enzymes that are often lost in high-heat processing. The only ingredient is desiccated beef liver and a beef gelatine capsule – no fillers, flow agents, dairy, soya, or gluten. Each batch is independently tested for heavy metals and biological purity. This supplement is suitable for paleo, carnivore, and keto diets.
What Is Desiccated Beef Liver Extract?
Desiccated beef liver extract is a whole-food supplement made from grass-fed bovine liver that has been carefully dried at low temperatures to retain its natural nutrient profile. One Earth Health’s formula delivers 3,000 mg of New Zealand grass-fed beef liver per serving, offering a concentrated source of vitamins, minerals, and cofactors often lacking in modern diets. Unlike synthetic supplements, desiccated liver provides the full spectrum of bio-available nutrients your body recognises and utilises efficiently.
Key Nutrients in Grass-Fed Beef Liver
Beef liver is one of nature’s most nutrient-dense foods. One Earth Health’s New Zealand-sourced liver supplies a remarkable array of naturally occurring compounds:
-
Heme Iron – The most bio-available form of iron, absorbed significantly better than non-heme iron from plants or synthetic supplements. Supports red blood cell formation and oxygen transport.
-
Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) – Essential for energy metabolism, nervous system function, and DNA synthesis. New Zealand grass-fed liver contains 42% more B12 than standard US beef liver.
-
Folate (5-MTHF) – The natural, active form of vitamin B9 that supports brain development, homocysteine metabolism, and red blood cell production.
-
Vitamin A (retinol) – Important for vision, immune function, and skin health. Grass-fed liver provides 470% more vitamin A than grain-fed liver.
-
Copper, Zinc, CoQ10, and Riboflavin – Additional cofactors that support energy production, antioxidant defence, and overall vitality.
The nutrients in desiccated beef liver are in their natural food forms. For example, heme iron has an absorption rate of 25–30% compared to 5–15% for non-heme iron. Similarly, the folate present as 5-MTHF is the active form, meaning no conversion is needed in the body. This makes liver extract a highly efficient way to obtain these essential nutrients.
Potential Benefits of Beef Liver Supplementation
Whole-food beef liver capsules may contribute to several aspects of health when used as part of a balanced diet:
-
Natural Energy Support – The combination of B vitamins, heme iron, and CoQ10 supports cellular energy production without stimulants. Many users report steady, sustained energy throughout the day.
-
Healthy Iron Levels – Heme iron’s high bioavailability helps maintain normal haemoglobin and ferritin levels, particularly for those with increased iron needs such as athletes or menstruating women.
-
Immune Function – Vitamin A, zinc, and copper play key roles in maintaining a healthy immune response.
-
Skin, Eye, and Gum Health – Vitamin A and riboflavin support tissue integrity and visual function.
