Are animal organ supplements legit?

Animal organ supplements have exploded in popularity.

These supplements, made from freeze-dried organs like the liver, heart, and kidney, claim to provide concentrated nutrition from these nutrient-dense foods.

Organ meats are undeniably nutritious. The liver, for example, contains high levels of vitamin A, B vitamins, iron, and other minerals. The heart is rich in CoQ10 and specific amino acids. The kidney provides unique peptides and nutrients.

The theory behind organ supplements is simple. Traditional cultures prioritized organ meats, often considering them sacred foods. Modern diets rarely include these nutrient powerhouses, potentially creating nutritional gaps.

However, the supplement industry isn't heavily regulated. Quality varies significantly between brands. Some companies source from grass-fed, organic animals, while others are less transparent about their sources.

Bioavailability is another consideration. While whole organ meats are proven nutritious, the processing required for supplementation might affect nutrient absorption. Research on this specific aspect is limited.

Some users report increased energy, improved mood, and better recovery from workouts. Others notice no difference. As with many supplements, individual response varies.

Price is a factor worth considering. Quality organ supplements aren't cheap. For some people, eating actual organ meats might be more cost-effective and beneficial. For example, Ape Nutrition is one of these e-commerce brands - but their supplements are quite expensive.

There are potential risks. Organ meats and their supplements can be high in certain nutrients like vitamin A, which can be toxic in excess. This is particularly important for pregnant women.

Contamination is another concern. Choose supplements from reputable companies that test for heavy metals and other contaminants.

For most people, focusing on a balanced, whole-food diet should be the priority. Organ supplements might be beneficial as part of a comprehensive nutrition strategy, but they're not a magic solution.

3 Tips to build up bone strength

Building strong bones is crucial for long-term health.

Here are three effective strategies:

1. Load-bearing exercises
   
   Include weight-bearing exercises in your routine.
   
   This could be weightlifting, hiking, or even dancing.
   
   These activities stress your bones, encouraging them to become stronger.
   
   Aim for at least 30 minutes of weight-bearing exercise three times per week.
   

2. Optimize nutrition
   
   Calcium alone isn't enough.
   
   Focus on vitamin D, magnesium, and vitamin K2, which work together for optimal bone health.
   
   Include foods like fatty fish, leafy greens, and fermented foods in your diet.
   
   Consider supplements if needed, especially vitamin D during winter months.
   

3. Maintain hormone balance
   
   Hormones play a crucial role in bone health.
   
   Ensure adequate protein intake and get enough sleep.
   
   For women, maintaining healthy estrogen levels is particularly important.
   
   Regular exercise and stress management can help maintain hormonal balance.
   

Remember, bone strength is built over time. Consistency with these practices is key for long-term bone health.
