Could Nutrient-Dense Organs Be the Missing Link in Supporting Your Energy?

low iron anemia and fatigue

Every year, thousands of Australians search for answers to unexplained tiredness and low energy. In fact, “fatigue” is one of the most common reasons people consult their healthcare practitioner. While many factors contribute to low energy, nutrition plays a foundational role—especially when it comes to supporting red blood cell formation and cellular energy production.

So what nutrients are truly essential—and how can beef organs help?

Energy from Two Critical Systems

  1. ATP Production: The foods we eat are broken down into sugars, fats, and amino acids. These are used by our mitochondria—often called the "powerhouses" of our cells—to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the chemical energy that powers nearly every function in the body. ATP acts like a delivery truck, transporting energy where it's needed most: your muscles, brain, and organs.
  2. Oxygen Transport: Energy production also relies on oxygen, delivered by red blood cells. For this process to function properly, your body needs a steady supply of nutrients such as iron, vitamin A, and B vitamins to build and maintain healthy red blood cells.

Without enough of these nutrients, energy pathways may become less efficient, which can contribute to feeling flat or depleted.

Nutrients Involved in Energy Metabolism

Scientific research supports the role of several vitamins and minerals in supporting healthy energy levels, especially through their involvement in red blood cell formation, oxygen transport, and ATP production. These include:

  • Iron – Supports oxygen delivery
  • Vitamin A – Involved in iron metabolism and immune function
  • Vitamin B12 & B9 – Contribute to red blood cell formation and nervous system health
  • Vitamin C – Enhances iron absorption
  • Zinc & Magnesium – Support cellular function and energy metabolism

Why Whole Food Forms May Matter

Many supplements on the market contain synthetic versions of these nutrients. While they can be helpful, the form of a nutrient may affect how well it's absorbed and used by the body.

Beef liver and other organs are naturally rich in many of these key nutrients—in forms your body recognises. They also come packaged with enzymes, cofactors, and co-nutrients that support optimal utilisation.

Primal Energy: A Whole Food Support Option

If you're looking to support your energy pathways with real food nutrition, our beef liver and organ capsules may be a helpful addition to your routine. They provide:

  • Naturally occurring iron and vitamin A
  • Bioavailable B vitamins, including B12 and folate
  • Essential minerals such as zinc and copper
  • Freeze-dried organ meats from 100% grass-fed Tasmanian cattle
  • They’re also free from hormones, antibiotics, and GMOs, and contain no synthetic additives.

Supporting Optimal Energy, Naturally

Nutrition is just one piece of the energy puzzle, but it's a critical one. Choosing nutrient-dense, whole food sources—such as beef liver, heart, and kidney—can help you build a strong foundation for better vitality and resilience.

As always, consult your healthcare practitioner to discuss your specific needs before starting any new supplement or dietary regimen.
