Question 1

How should I start taking organ meat supplements?

Accepted Answer

Start slowly, especially if you are pregnant, or have a digestive or autoimmune condition. Those who were previously vegan or vegetarian should also start slowly. See our questions below.

Our beef organ supplements are 100% pure beef organs with no additives, but your gut microbiome may not be used to digesting organ meats and your body may take time to adjust to your new diet.

For most people we suggest taking 1 or 2 capsules daily to start with and increase every couple of days to the full 6 capsule dose.

Question 2

How much equivalent fresh organs am I consuming with Hirsch beef organ supplements in a week?

Accepted Answer

With the recommended 6 capsules per day, you are consuming 3g of freeze-dried organic organs, which equates to approximately 70g of fresh organic organs per week. A good way towards your optimal health goal!

The Weston A. Price foundation has the following recommendations for taking liver. Here's an excerpt: “A good recommendation for liver is one 100-gram serving of beef, lamb, bison or duck liver (about 4 ounces) once or twice a week...”

Question 3

Are your organs sourced from hormone and antibiotics free cows?

Accepted Answer

Our beef organs are sourced from British organic farms that are Soil Association certified. Growth hormones are banned completely in the UK.

The US, Australia, New Zealand and Canada allow farmers to give antibiotics to livestock to make them grow faster. This is banned in the UK. The Soil Association also specifically restricts the use of certain antibiotics. As a result, the use of antibiotics on Soil Association certified beef farms is 3.5x lower than other UK farms on average. Organic standards aim to promote good health and welfare so that disease is exceptional rather than routine.

Question 4

Should I take beef organs if I am pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Our beef organ supplements are essentially a highly nutritious food, but your body may need time to get used to the change of diet if new to organs.

Start slowly. We suggest taking 1 or 2 capsules daily to start with and increase every couple of days to the full 6 capsule dose.

With the recommended 6 capsules, you would be consuming 3g of freeze-dried organic beef organs each day, which equates to approximately 70g fresh organic organs per week. The Weston A. Price Foundation recommends a total amount of 100g of fresh organs per week for an adult.

As you are pregnant, the recommended diet by Weston A. Price is to consume 3–4 ounces of fresh liver, once or twice per week. 4 ounces equals 110 grams of fresh beef liver.

Our Beef Liver Supplement also provides a highly bio-available source of iron, which supports your pregnancy. Our Beef Liver Supplement has 18.2 mg of iron per 100g – a serving of 6 capsules will have a total of 0.546 mg of iron.

Hirsch organic supplements are whole food made from 100% raw freeze-dried organic beef organ meat, with no additives and are tested for moulds, heavy metals and other pathogens, so you can be assured of the quality of our supplements.

Question 5

Where does the beef come from and how are the cows kept?

Accepted Answer

The ingredients in Hirsch beef organ meat supplements are sourced exclusively from British Soil Association organic farms and manufactured in organic certified facilities. In the UK all beef cows are raised on pasture and grass fed, except in bad weather conditions when they need to be housed inside for their welfare and even then are normally fed on silage and beets.

Question 6

Are Hirsch beef organ meat supplements tested for heavy metals?

Accepted Answer

Every Hirsch production run is tested for the following heavy metals: Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead and Mercury. Contact us if you would like to see these results for a specific product/batch.

Question 7

Should I take beef organs if I have an autoimmune or digestive condition?

Accepted Answer

Beef organ supplements are essentially highly nutritious food that has been freeze-dried, but your body may need time to get used to the change of diet if new to organs. Many people with autoimmune and digestive conditions take beef organs as a way to supplement their diet.

Start slowly. We recommend taking 1 or 2 capsules daily to start with and increase weekly to the full 6 capsule dose.

If you experience unexpected side effects, we recommend reducing the dose for some time and then taking more time to build up to the full dose.

Question 8

Are Hirsch beef organ meat supplements defatted?

Accepted Answer

No, we do not use the defatting process for our organ meat supplements, which means they contain the original fat from the organ. This makes it easier for your body to absorb the rich vitamins and minerals in the beef organs. Our products contain 100% organic British beef organs, freeze-dried and encapsulated — nothing added and nothing taken out.

Question 9

What other safety testing do you do for Hirsch beef organ meat supplements?

Accepted Answer

We complete microbiology testing on each production run, e.g. for mould and pathogens. Contact us, and we can share these results with you for a specific batch.

Question 10

How should I take beef organs if I was previously vegan or vegatarian?

Accepted Answer

For those who were previously eating a vegan or vegetarian diet, we highly recommend starting slowly. Your gut microbiome will not be used to consuming organ meats and will take time to develop the capability to digest it effectively.

Start slowly. Take 1 or 2 capsules daily to start with and increase weekly to the full 6 capsule dose.

Question 11

Accepted Answer

Yes, our organ meat supplements are 100% freeze-dried, organic beef organs and nothing else. This means it is a whole food and does not need other food in your stomach for your body to benefit from the nutrients.

Question 14

Is there an ideal time of day to take beef organ supplements?

Accepted Answer

We suggest taking organ meat supplements in the morning or early afternoon, as you may experience a useful boost in energy (especially from pure liver) in the hours after taking them.

Question 15

What if I experience unexpected side effects from taking beef organ supplements?

Accepted Answer

Your gut microbiome may not be used to digesting organ meats, and your body may take time to adjust to your new diet. Organ meats (especially liver) can instigate detox reactions, which while uncomfortable, can lead to a positive outcome.

While our beef organ supplements are based on 100% pure beef organs with no additives, your gut microbiome may not be used to digesting organ meats and your body may take time to adjust to your new diet. Our supplements are essentially a food, but your body may need to get used to your new diet.

You can be sure that the organ meats you are consuming are safe and are additive and toxin free. We perform lab safety tests at every step of the production process to ensure no pathogens, moulds or heavy metals are introduced.

Tolerance can be improved by taking 1 or 2 capsules daily to start with and increase weekly to the full 6 capsule dose. Alternatively, keeping the daily dose at 1 or 2 capsules is an option. We have found that tolerance to Beef Organ Mix (Liver, Kidney & Heart) is better in these situations than pure Beef Liver.

Also make sure to drink plenty of water, as this will help assist your body with any detoxifying effect.

If you are concerned, we suggest you get professional medical advice from a dietitian, a functional medicine practitioner or your doctor.
