Why Should I Take Organ Supplements?

Organ meats offer a great source of nutrition including important vitamins, minerals, good fats, enzymes and essential amino acids. They offer a vital part of the human diet that has largely been forgotten with our modern-day diet of processed and convenience foods.

How Do Beef Organ Supplements Taste?

Beef organ supplements are available in both capsule and powder form — and the taste experience can vary depending on which you choose.

  • Capsules: Most people find beef organ capsules virtually tasteless. They’re an easy and convenient way to get the benefits of organ meats without the flavour. Simply swallow with water, just like any other supplement.
  • Powder: Freeze-dried beef organ powder has a rich, earthy flavour that’s true to its natural source. While some people enjoy the taste in savoury blends, others prefer to mix it into smoothies, broths, or sauces to mask the flavour.

Whether you choose capsules or powder, beef spleen is valued more for its nutrient density than its taste. Tip: If you're sensitive to taste, capsules are the most neutral option.

When Is the Best Time to Take Beef Organ Supplements?

Beef organ supplements can be taken at any time of day, but many people prefer to take them in the morning or with their first meal to support daily nutrient intake and energy metabolism.

Because beef organs are naturally rich in vitamin B12, iron, and other energising nutrients, taking it earlier in the day may help align with your body’s natural rhythm and avoid any potential for overstimulation at night.

Tips for Best Results:

  • With food: Taking beef organs with/after a meal may help improve absorption.
  • Consistency matters: Regular daily use is more important than timing — choose a time that fits your routine.
  • Start slow: If you're new to beef organs, begin with a smaller dose and gradually increase as tolerated.

Beef organ supplements are a wholefood source of nutrients, not synthetic isolates — making them suitable for long-term daily support.

How Long Does It Take to Notice the Effects of Beef Organ Supplements?

The timeline for noticing the benefits of beef organ supplements can vary from person to person. It often depends on your current iron and B12 status, dietary habits, and overall lifestyle.

Because beef organs are a natural source of heme iron, vitamin B12, and supportive trace minerals like zinc and copper, some individuals may feel a shift in energy, stamina, or general wellbeing within a few weeks. For others, it may take longer as the body gradually rebuilds nutrient stores.

Factors That May Influence Your Experience:

  • Nutrient status: If you're not getting enough iron or B12 from food, you may notice changes sooner.
  • Consistency: Whether you use capsules or powder, taking your supplement daily is key.
  • Overall diet: Pairing beef organs with a nutrient-dense, wholefood diet may support better outcomes.

As with any wholefood supplement, beef organs work best when taken consistently over time as part of a balanced approach to wellbeing — not as a quick fix.

Are Your Beef Organ Products Free From Bovaer® Feed Additives?

Yes — our beef organ products are sourced from 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, pasture-raised Tasmanian cattle that are not supplemented with Bovaer® or other synthetic feed additives.

We work closely with local farms that focus on natural, traditional grazing practices. This ensures the purity of our products while maintaining full transparency across the supply chain — from paddock to capsule.

No hormones, no antibiotics, no synthetic feed additives — just real food the way nature intended.

Why Don't You Sell Organic Organs?

We often get this question — but the truth is, organic organs simply don’t meet our standards for nutritional density, animal welfare, or sustainability. Here’s why:

1. Animal Welfare:

Most Australian organic cattle are raised in arid central regions where only drought-tolerant breeds can survive. These harsh conditions often lead to stressed animals, which can negatively affect organ quality. In contrast, our cattle are raised on lush, rotational pastures in temperate climates.

2. Nutrient Quality:

“Organic” doesn’t guarantee nutrient density. Many organic farms use broad-spectrum fertilisers without soil-specific analysis. We work with trained agronomists who test and manage soil health to maximise nutrient uptake in grasses — and ultimately in the organs.

3. Sustainability:

To meet organic certification, some producers use unsustainable inputs like prawn meal scraped from ocean floors — cheap, compliant, but ecologically harmful. Our approach focuses on true regenerative practices, not certification checkboxes.

We don’t chase labels. We chase results. Learn more on our quality page here.

Can I Use Beef Organ Supplements While Pregnant?

Beef organs are a natural source of important nutrients like heme iron, vitamin B12, zinc, and selenium — all of which play supportive roles during pregnancy. These nutrients are present in their wholefood form, making beef organs a valuable addition to a nutrient-dense diet for some women.

As always, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before adding beef organ supplements to your routine during pregnancy, to ensure they align with your individual dietary needs and prenatal care plan.

Wholefood organ supplements like beef organs can offer nutritional value — but every pregnancy is different, and personalised advice is best.

Can Children Beef Organ Products?

All of our products are family friendly (with the exception of Primal Body bovine testicles), we have written a short article with all of the details around children and organ meats here.

What’s the Difference Between Beef Organ Capsules and Powder?

Both capsules and powder deliver the same core benefits of beef organs — but differ in format, convenience, and flexibility, depending on your lifestyle and preferences.

Beef Organ Capsules:

  • Pre-measured and easy to take
  • No taste or smell — ideal if you’re sensitive to flavour
  • Great for travel or daily routines
  • Offers consistent dosage (e.g. 2g = 4 capsules)

Beef Organ Powder:

  • Versatile for adding to food (e.g. smoothies, bone broth, patties)
  • Slightly more economical per gram
  • Mild organ flavour — best for those who are comfortable with natural tastes
  • Allows flexible dosing for families or pets

Whether you prefer convenience or culinary creativity, both formats provide the same freeze-dried, nutrient-dense organs — sourced from grass-fed & grass-finished Australian cattle and made without additives or fillers.
