Review names Heart & Soil top beef organ supplement for 2026

Fortune’s health commerce team selected Heart & Soil Beef Organs as its top overall beef organ supplement in a 2026 review of four capsule products. The review matters for consumers considering organ-meat supplements, which Fortune described as a way to get nutrients from bovine organs without buying or cooking them.

Fortune said its testers evaluated popular products and that it may earn affiliate revenue from links in its coverage. The publication also noted that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not approve dietary supplements for safety or efficacy, making third-party testing a factor in its review.

Four products received 4 out of 5 scores

Fortune rated Heart & Soil Beef Organs, Nutricost Grass-Fed Desiccated Beef Liver, Ancestral Supplements Grass-Fed Beef Liver and Equip Beef Organ at 4 out of 5. All four products were listed as capsules and described by Fortune as third-party tested.

Heart & Soil’s product includes bovine liver, heart, kidney, pancreas and spleen, with a six-capsule serving totaling 3,000 milligrams, according to Fortune. A tester identified as Andrew said the directions were clear and the capsules had no taste, though he noted a faint earthy smell and said six pills was a large serving.

Fortune named Nutricost Grass-Fed Desiccated Beef Liver the best value option. The product uses grass-fed desiccated beef liver, comes in a four-capsule serving and cost 33 cents per serving at the listed one-time purchase price, according to Fortune’s price table.

Fortune’s tester Meredith said Nutricost’s bottle was bulky and the pills had an unpleasant smell, but she found the capsules easy to swallow and said they had a neutral flavor. Fortune reported the product is sourced from free-range, pasture-raised cows from Argentina and made in a GMP-compliant facility, according to Nutricost.

Other picks focused on liver and sourcing

Fortune chose Ancestral Supplements Grass-Fed Beef Liver as its top beef liver supplement. The product contains grass-fed bovine liver, has a six-capsule serving and provides 3,000 milligrams per serving, according to Fortune.

A tester identified as Sophia said Ancestral’s product had a strong odor but no taste after swallowing. Fortune said the company markets the supplement as a source of B vitamins, iron, magnesium and vitamin A, while also making broader claims tied to immunity, endurance and other areas.

Equip Beef Organ was named Fortune’s top grass-fed beef organ supplement. Fortune said the formula contains organic bovine heart, kidney and liver, with a four-capsule serving totaling 2,001 milligrams.

Fortune said Equip markets the capsules as using regenerative organic certified beef organs and says each batch is tested for heavy metals, pesticides, microplastics and pathogens. Andrew, who also tested Equip, said the capsules had no taste or smell and were easy to take, though he considered the monthly cost higher than he would prefer.

Costs and cautions

Fortune’s listed one-time purchase prices ranged from $19.97 for Nutricost to $52 for Heart & Soil. Per-serving costs were $1.73 for Heart & Soil, 33 cents for Nutricost, $1.27 for Ancestral Supplements and $1.57 for Equip, with subscription pricing lower for each product where listed.

Fortune cited St. Louis dietitian Sydney Lappe as saying beef organ supplements can provide concentrated nutrients such as vitamin B12, iron, zinc, selenium, copper and vitamin A for people who do not eat organ meats. Fortune also advised readers with specific symptoms, including low energy, to check with a health care provider because another supplement may be more appropriate.
