What are organ supplements?
Organ supplements are made from organ meats (offal) that have been dried at low temperatures and ground into a powder, which is then put into capsules. Liver has traditionally been eaten in many cuisines, from pâté to liver and onions, but many people don't enjoy the taste.

Check each label for the organs included and the amount per serve.
What does "grass-fed" mean?
Grass-fed means the cattle were raised mainly on pasture. Australia and New Zealand are well known for pasture-raised cattle. Check the label for the source country.
How to choose
- Decide whether you want a single organ or a blend.
- Compare milligrams of organ per serve, not per capsule.
- Check the sourcing and the capsule type (most organ capsules use bovine gelatin).
