Beef-organ blends: “Nature’s multivitamin”?

The label answers that one. The research answers the rest.

Short answer: liver and other organs are genuinely rich foods, and a serving of this kind of powder gives you more than a day’s vitamin B12. But the blend we read — Organised’s Daily Blend — lists about 1% of a day’s vitamin A and under 0.1% of a day’s zinc on its own label, while its page says it replaces vitamin A and zinc supplements. Its colostrum has one small, encouraging trial behind it; its gut and energy claims have none in people.

Collagen for skin is left out for now: the research is mixed in a way our grading rules are still being refined for.

Before you swap your supplements

  • Compare the label, nutrient by nutrient, with what you take now — especially vitamin D, which most organ powders barely contain.
  • It contains milk (colostrum) and raw honey: not for babies under 12 months.
  • Pregnant? Ask your midwife or doctor about vitamin A from liver products before adding one.
