Hunter-gatherers ate \"nose-to-tail\" — all parts of the animal, with the organs as the most prized cuts because of their nutrient density. Liver in particular is one of the most nutrient-rich foods in the world: 100 grams of beef liver contains approximately 5-10 mg vitamin A (retinol), 60-70 µg vitamin B12, 10 mg copper, 5-6 mg iron, plus considerable amounts of folic acid and choline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn modern times, organs have largely disappeared from the Western menu — due to cultural shifts, convenience and taste preferences. Since around 2018-2020, a counter-movement has emerged: paleo, carnivore and ancestral health followers are returning to this traditional wholefood supplement. Organ supplements — freeze-dried in capsule form — offer a practical way to include organs in your diet without having to eat fresh organs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportant to know: organ supplements are deliberately not a vegan option. They are specifically for those who follow the ancestral\/paleo\/carnivore route and deliberately choose animal-based wholefood.
