Fight Fatigue With The Benefits of Beef Liver
Beef liver offers the specific vitamins and minerals that play a critical role in making healthy red blood cells which is the key to enjoying all-day energy. In this article we dig deep into the benefits of beef liver supplements for energy and also discuss the other benefits that consuming beef organs offer.
Beef Liver Offers These Energy-Promoting Nutrients
If you're feeling fatigued and have tried iron supplements that didn't help, you're not alone. It's now clear that certain vitamins and minerals play a critical role in making healthy red blood cells for oxygen production while also producing ATP (Energy). It's also important to note that fatigue is much more than just a deficiency of iron. The vitamins and minerals that are contained in beef liver and central to supporting our energy systems are:
- B Vitamins (in particular B12)
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin C
- Iron
- Magnesium
- Zinc
As listed above beef liver supplements offer heme iron among other minerals and in combination with folate and Vitamin B12 help to naturally overcome anaemia and prevent fatigue, irregular menstrual cycles and neurological issues. Iron supplementation is often recommended to menstruating females, nursing mothers and vegetarians / vegans who need iron in their diets.

Discover 6 Other Benefits of Beef Organs:
1. Skin Health: Beef liver contains retinol which is the active form of Vitamin A that helps in skin nourishment. Beef liver can be used to support for acne, mostly caused by hormonal imbalances, chronic inflammation, poor gut health and free radical exposure. Vitamin A is fat-soluble and helps in addressing acne by:
- Reducing the size of the oil-producing glands that block pores.
- Help in healing the acne scars faster.
- Regulates shedding process of the skin.
- It's an antioxidant hence protects the skin against free radicals.
- Helps to reduce inflammation thus making the skin look smooth and nourished.
In addition to skin nourishment with Vitamin A, beef liver supplements also contain high amounts of glycine and copper, helping to maintain the collagen levels under our skin. Collagen helps to reduce skin wrinkles by plumping and firming the underlying skin tissues.
2. Helps in Strengthening Bones: Beef liver supplements are rich in Vitamin K2, which assists in calcium balance. Calcium is adequate for bone formation and strength, but when incorporated with vitamin K2, it is directed by K2 into bones and keeps calcium out of arterial walls.
3. Detoxification: is the removal of toxic chemicals and substances from our bodies, and the liver carries it out by use of a mineral called molybdenum. The mineral acts as a coenzyme in the conversion of sulfates from sulfites and metabolism of drugs and alcohols.
4. High in Antioxidants: Antioxidants like vitamin A, C and E prevent our body cells from being oxidised by oxidative reactive species of free radicals such as UV ray beams, inflammation caused by them and cigarette smoke etc. The antioxidants, therefore, support cellular health.
5. Rich in CoQ10: Beef liver supplements are a rich source of CoQ10, found primarily in the mitochondria. CoQ10 is associated with cardiovascular health, vascular health and blood pressure. CoQ10 also improves sperm and egg quality, endurance and lowers inflammation. Liver supplements can be useful to support healthy ageing by keeping up CoQ10 levels since they reduce with age.
6. Beef Liver is Excellent Source of Active Vitamin A: Beef liver is rich in vitamin A, as we mentioned above. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble, antioxidant and supports skin health, thyroid, eye health, and enhances immunity among other metabolic functions. Vitamin A also has retinol which is essential for skin health.
