In today’s fast-paced, processed world, many of us are unknowingly undernourished — not for calories, but for deep, cellular-level nutrients. Enter: beef organs — nature’s original multivitamin. If that made your nose wrinkle, stay with me. This ancient superfood has been fueling humans for generations and might be exactly what your body (and your child’s growing body) is missing.

What Makes Organ Meats So Nutrient-Dense?

Each organ in the body plays a different role — and when we consume those organs (from healthy animals), we absorb those unique benefits.

Liver – Rich in vitamin A (retinol), B12, iron, folate, and choline. Great for energy, skin, hormone support, and detox.
Heart – A powerful source of CoQ10 and B vitamins, supporting cardiovascular and mitochondrial health.
Kidney – Loaded with selenium and enzymes that support detox and histamine balance.
Pancreas – Offers digestive enzymes to support gut health.
Spleen – One of the richest sources of heme iron for immune and energy support.
Thymus/Brain/Adrenals – Rich in peptides that support the corresponding glands in your own body.

This is nutritional wisdom straight from our ancestors — and it’s been mostly lost in modern diets.

Why Grass-Fed Beef Organs Matter

Quality is everything when it comes to organ meats. Organs filter toxins, so consuming organs from conventionally raised animals (fed grains, hormones, and exposed to chemicals) defeats the purpose.

Grass-fed, pasture-raised beef ensures the organs are clean, rich in nutrients, and free from environmental toxins. This is why I always recommend sourcing from a transparent brand like Perfect Supplements.

Liver vs. Multi-Organ Supplements

Many people start with beef liver (which is an amazing entry point), but switching to or combining it with a multi-organ supplement offers broader benefits.

Liver is a powerhouse, but other organs like spleen (iron) and heart (CoQ10) fill in critical gaps.
A multi-organ blend mirrors what our ancestors consumed nose-to-tail, offering full-system support.

Why I Trust Perfect Supplements

Perfect Supplements is one of the few brands that checks every single box:

100% grass-fed & pasture-raised in the USA Freeze-dried to preserve nutrients Glyphosate residue-free certified Rigorous third-party testing No fillers, flow agents, or junk

Their Multi-Organ Capsules are ideal for busy moms who want simplicity with maximum nutrient density. And for little ones? Their multi-organ powder mixes easily into smoothies, bone broth, or gummies.

Can Toddlers Take Organ Supplements?

Yes — in small, safe amounts. Here’s a simple guide:

6–12 months: Dip a finger into the powder and mix into purées
1–3 years: Start with ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon of powder a few times a week
3+ years: Work up to ½ teaspoon or one capsule (opened) 3–5x/week

And here's a fun way to serve it: mix the Perfect Supplements gelatin with the organ powder, lemon juice, raw honey, and filtered water to make homemade nutrient-dense gummies. Your kids will think it’s a treat — and you’ll know it’s superfood medicine.

What Symptoms Can Beef Organs Help With?

If you or your child struggle with…

Low energy
Poor focus
Frequent illness
Cracked lips or pale skin
Iron deficiency
Food sensitivities
Histamine reactions

…organ support may help fill in the missing foundational nutrients.

A Quick Note on MTHFR

If you or your child has the MTHFR gene mutation, synthetic B vitamins (like folic acid) can do more harm than good. Organ meats contain bioavailable, methylated B vitamins — meaning they’re already in the active form your body can use, without needing to be converted. This makes beef organs especially beneficial for those with MTHFR, helping with detox, mood, and methylation support.

Organ meats might feel intimidating at first, but in freeze-dried form, they’re a low-effort, high-impact way to nourish yourself and your children. When sourced from the right places — like Perfect Supplements — they become a powerful tool in your wellness routine.

Balance, not perfection! Ask questions, stay curious, and do what feels aligned for your budget and peace of mind. Your body knows what to do when you give it the right information — and beef organs are one of the most potent messages you can send.
