Why Nutrient-Dense Liver?
Have you thought about how you might be missing key nutrients by neglecting to eat liver?
Over the past few years people have been favoring muscle meats (such as steaks and roasts) over nutrient dense organ meats. This means fewer and fewer know the health benefits of regeneratively-raised liver, which is a shame. Apprehension to adding organ meat to your diet results in your family missing out on true superfoods with key vitamins and minerals.
Liver is truly nature’s “multivitamin”, packed with vitamins A, B12, Copper, Folate, Riboflavin, Niacin, and Iron, amongst other essential nutrients.
Rich in Essential Nutrients
Beyond protein, liver is a powerhouse of nutrients and vitamins. Notably, it is an excellent source of Vitamins A and B12. [2]
- Vitamin A: Important for immune system and reproductive health, Vitamin A also contributes to vision, skin, and the proper functioning of vital organs like the heart and kidneys.
- Vitamin B12: Facilitates the formation of red blood cells and is believed to support brain function, skin health, and bone maintenance.
Additionally, liver provides an array of other essential nutrients, including Vitamin B9 for cell growth, iron for oxygen circulation, and copper for energy production and optimal brain function. [3]
Be sure to rotate between different species of liver to diversify the vitamins and minerals you are consuming.
The nutritional value of liver raised right is simply unparalleled.
