The Best Beef Organ Supplements For Men: A Complete Guide

As men age, many feel like they’ve lost a step or no longer feel like themselves. This is a pretty common complaint, but it doesn’t have to be that way. The right supplements can help you feel your best and give you the energy to help you reach your goals!

Selecting the best organ supplements for men can be overwhelming, with numerous brands making bold claims. Many products have similar labels, which can significantly add to the confusion. Unfortunately, companies can say and do almost anything they like due to the lack of enforced regulations in the supplement industry. Although many labels and marketing materials appear similar, their similarity does not necessarily mean the products are identical. Check out our blog, A Tale Of Two Bottles, for an in-depth look at how two supplement bottles can appear similar, but what’s inside the package is very different.

Many cattle are kept in feedlots and fed alfalfa pellets. This allows them to be labeled grass fed even though they are not given access to pasture.

Beef Organ Supplements For Men: What To Look For

Here are a few questions, but not all of them, as that would be way too long an article, that you should ask when choosing a beef organ supplement brand:

• Does the company have a direct relationship with the farms where the organs come from?

  • The company should be able to trace the organs back to the farm and the exact animals they come from. 

• Are the farms the organs come from farming with ethical practices, or just saying they are? 

  • For example, you should not choose beef organ supplements made from organs sourced from South America for a host of moral issues, including rainforest deforestation, slavery, murder, and land theft. You can read more about this here. Simply labeling a product as "grass-fed" or "regeneratively farmed" does not necessarily make it good or mean it is truly produced that way. Many companies make false claims about regenerative farming, including some of the largest ones. Often, companies use organs from New Zealand, but many of these are not truly regeneratively farmed, despite the claims. New Zealand faces an overgrazing problem, leading to significant water pollution due to the excessive grazing of cows on a small area of land. To make the grass grow faster, they are importing tons of nitrates and applying them to the pastures. This accelerates grass growth, but also results in large amounts of water pollution from the runoff. In addition, there are fewer nutrients in the soil because the land is not able to rest fully and restore the nutrients that come with proper regenerative grazing. Just because a company claims they use regenerative farms does not mean it’s truly regenerative or being done the right way.

• Does the company make its own raw materials from fresh organs? 

  • The vast majority of beef organ supplement companies don’t do this, even the largest ones. They purchase bulk powder from middlemen who combine organs from various locations, making it nearly impossible to determine their true origin.

• Does the company manufacture its own products? 

  • The answer should be yes. The vast majority of beef organ supplement companies don’t do this, even the largest ones. They have large contract manufacturers buy the bulk material and bottle it for them.

• Is the product properly dried? 

  • Many drying methods are incredibly harsh, which can damage fragile constituents in the organs. They should be dried using a slow freeze-drying process. Traditional freeze drying is done much faster, but it is not as good as slow freeze-drying for protecting fragile compounds in the organs. For example, freeze-dried beef liver shouldn't smell offensive.  It should be brown and have a sweet-smelling, pleasant aroma.  Many freeze-drying companies aim to dry products as quickly as possible (because that increases profits), but in doing so, they often burn the product (think of freezer burn), which can cause important vitamins, minerals, and secondary compounds to degrade.

• Are the ingredients cryo-milled to prevent thermal degradation that happens during traditional ingredient milling?

  • Traditional ingredient milling involves a lot of friction, which creates heat that can damage fragile nutrients and compounds in the organs. Cryomilling is a cold milling process that avoids the problems created by the normal milling process.

• Are the organs defatted? 

  • Many beef organ supplements are made with defatted organs, resulting in the loss of essential nutrients and compounds found in the fat. You want organ supplements made with non-defatted organs. 

• Is the product in a good delivery format? 

  • For example, beef organ supplements should never be in gummy form, as the process of making a gummy is extremely harsh. Filler and additive-free beef gelatin capsules and powders are the best. 

• One of the most important things is to look for companies that make the product from start to finish. Not companies that slap their label on a private or white label product. A good story is no substitute for hands-on manufacturing and a relationship with the farmers. Check out our blog to learn why you should avoid white label products. Before buying an organ supplement, ask the companies if they make the products themselves from fresh organs (traceable back to the farms) to the bottle or have other companies make the products for them. Most companies will give a convoluted answer with lots of marketing terms, but never say they do those things. 

• Many companies claim to be third-party tested, but it's crucial to understand that this practice, initially intended as a positive, has evolved into a marketing gimmick rather than a quality measure. Check out our blog to learn more about this.

It is incredibly rare to find a company that does all that and more to make beef organ supplements for men properly. Most companies have big contract manufacturers slap their label on products without any connection to the farms or manufacturing processes, and then spend all of their money on great marketing instead of investing it in making better products. The largest beef organ supplement companies in the US don't produce their own raw materials, don't have a direct connection with the farms, don't manufacture their own products, but spend a fortune to have a great social media and marketing presence. What's more important: marketing or product quality and ethics? We think the quality and ethics should come first.

Beef Organ Supplements For men

Choosing the right one can be confusing, especially with so many choices available. Our guide will help you make the right decision for your healthy journey. If you need help, we are always available to answer your questions.

First up is the premier beef organ supplement for men, Cow & Bull Alpha Male. It contains testicle, liver, and blood. It’s our top pick for men who feel like they’ve lost a step or want to regain their former energy. 

It contains:

• Activin and inhibin 

• Endothelin

• Epidermal growth factor

• Zinc

  •  It is one of the most essential nutrients for men’s health. Without enough zinc, many bodily functions won't work correctly. Unfortunately, most men don’t get enough zinc.

• Immunoglobulins, red and white blood cells, riboflavin, folate, B12, choline, and iron are supplied by blood, which are nutrients that provide potent support for male vitality.

• Vitamin A

• And a whole lot more!

Alpha Male is made for the guy who wants to feel more energized, vital, and ready to take on the world. This is a supplement you can feel!

Next up is NXGEN Wholefoods Male Optimise. It provides the raw ingredients to help men achieve their goals. Containing prized organs: testicle, prostate, liver, heart, and bone marrow. Included are specific building blocks, peptides, and enzymes to nourish and support men’s health. Male Optimise retains ancient wisdom and nutritional properties, replenishing what is missing from the modern world. 

This unique combination of beef organs provides a balance of proteins, cofactors, peptides, enzymes, unique to beef organs, including natural CoQ10, B12, B6, Vitamin A, Choline, Folate, copper, heme iron, glycosaminoglycans, stem cells, marrow, growth factors, fat-soluble activators, and a class of lipids called alkylglycerols (AKGs for short). 

Male Optimise is ideal for men seeking to boost their overall health and feel more alive, vibrant, and ready to seize the day!

NXGEN Wholefoods Bull Testicle is our next superstar. It is a rich source of zinc and other compounds that help give you that extra oomph when you need it most. Testicle is a potent way to help you perform your best (wink wink). It’s a great companion to Alpha Male when you want an even more powerful boost.

Beef Organs Pre-workout Supplement

While most pre-workout supplements are packed with caffeine, stimulants, and other things that may give a short-term boost, they come with significant unwanted side effects. We think there's a better way.

NXGEN Wholefoods Whole Blood contains bovine blood, liver, and spleen. In addition, the whole foods in it include the cofactors that help to support healthy energy levels, including B12 and heme iron. This powerful supplement is ideal to take before a workout or long run; think of it as a whole-food pre-workout supplement, but without the jitters, crash, and unwanted side effects of traditional pre-workouts.

Beef organs are a safer, better pre-workout than stimulant-filled synthetic chemical powders.

Grass Fed Beef Protein Powder

When you’re working out a lot, it’s essential to get enough protein. Unfortunately, most protein powders are full of junk. Nxgen Hydro Beef Protein is made from grass fed and finished beef muscle meat, collagen, and bones. Nxgen Hydro Beef Isolate Protein is different from other brands as it contains naturally occurring vitamins from the muscle meat, along with minerals (calcium, phosphorus, etc.) found in grass-fed and grass-finished beef bones.  Many brands of beef protein are essentially just collagen, lacking other essential nutrients.

Don’t worry, it doesn’t taste like beef! During the manufacturing process, the flavor compounds are removed, resulting in a neutral-tasting product. Unlike other manufacturers who add natural flavors and sweeteners to make their powder more palatable, Nxgen Wholefoods Grass Fed Beef Protein stands out as 100% pure beef without any additives. 

Unlike other companies, which slap their label on a bottle made by someone else with no traceability, NXGEN Wholefoods produces its own beef protein and bottles it in its own facility. All the meat is traceable back to the farm and the animals it came from.

Beef Organ supplements for men's brain health

NXGEN Wholefoods Mood and Memory helps to support a healthy brain. It contains grass-fed and finished brain (including cortex, hypothalamus, pituitary, and pineal gland), bone marrow, and liver.

It is rich in DHA, an essential omega-3 fatty acid that most people don't get enough of, as well as phosphatidylserine, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), choline, B vitamins, copper, and selenium. It is a nutrient powerhouse.

It’s an excellent choice for those who feel their brain needs some extra nourishment.

Beef Organ supplements for Energy

Sometimes you need a quick energy boost to help you get through the day. That's where beef liver comes in.

NXGEN Wholefoods Beef Liver is a great way to boost your energy without the crash of caffeine or the jitters of stimulant energy drinks. It also packs a huge nutritional punch.

So the next time you need some energy, put down that energy drink and take some beef liver. To learn more about the fantastic benefits of beef liver, check out our blog.

How to Take Beef Organ Supplements for Men

Beef organ supplements are best taken with food and a full glass of water.

It's essential to start slowly and gradually increase to the full dosage, as most people are not accustomed to such concentrated nutrition. We recommend taking most of them earlier in the day.

Consistent long-term use produces the best results. It's best to use them for at least three months for full results. As with other supplements, it is a good idea to talk with your healthcare practitioner before starting them.

They should be stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.

What makes NXGEN Wholefoods Beef Organ Supplements different than other Beef Organ Supplement brands?

A million companies are jumping on the beef organ supplements bandwagon, many with incredible marketing. However, great marketing does not equate to quality, sustainability, and ethics, and it is not a substitute for doing all of the steps needed to produce a good product.

NXGEN Wholefoods provides organic, regeneratively farmed, grass-fed, grass-finished beef organ supplements sourced from Australian farms. They are the only organ supplement company with over fifty years of meat industry experience and the qualifications to harvest and collect organs of incredible quality. They offer the most extensive range of beef organs and glands, and are leaders in glandular therapy.

The organs are sourced from the ancient soils and land of Lake Eyre in South Australia, where the ranches are as large as Texas. The cattle thrive on native grasses (over twenty-six types) and roam freely for thousands of miles in an area where no cropping occurs. There’s no glyphosate spraying or pesticide drift from neighboring properties. Far too many companies get organs from cattle that graze on pastures that are heavily sprayed with pesticides or have massive amounts of nitrites dumped on them to increase grass growth, which harms local waterways. It's detrimental to the environment, the cattle, the people applying it, and your health. Proper management of pastures makes that completely unnecessary, but unfortunately, too many companies put profits above all else.

The cattle are not given mRNA vaccines, Bovaer, synthetic feed additives, hormones, or antibiotics. The farmers use the exact farming methods you think of when you imagine regenerative farming, not the greenwashed fake versions that are all too common now. 

This is the kind of farm from which you want your beef organs to come.

Knowing exactly where the organs come from, not just the country of origin, is important. While the Lake Eyre region is pristine and ideal for cattle ranching, the Murray River Basin area is heavily developed and suffers from pollution-related issues, making it unsuitable for obtaining high-quality organs. That’s why the country of origin is not enough. Both are in Australia, but you only want organs from one of those places.

NXGEN Wholefoods is vertically integrated, meaning they have complete control of all parts of the sourcing and manufacturing from farm to capsule. They purchase restaurant-grade organs and glands, inspecting them firsthand. They also own and operate the freeze-drying technology, employing a slow forty-eight-hour method. They use cryogenic milling, which is safe from the heat and friction associated with traditional milling methods. Their products are non-defatted, which means they retain the fats, which contain important compounds not found elsewhere. Many companies remove the fat from their organs because it makes them cheaper to produce, but it is a harsh process that removes a lot of bioactives. Always opt for non-defatted beef organ supplements to reap the full benefits that these nourishing foods offer.

The final encapsulation and packing is done in their state-of-the-art factory in NSW, Australia. They manufacture small batches for freshness, and each capsule is equivalent to eating the raw organ and gland without the mess, but with the convenience of knowing that food safety and food quality are the best.

Third-party testing is done for pathogens. The Australian Government tests for heavy metals at abattoirs and farms to protect the reputation of the Australian Beef Industry.  There have been no positive tests for high levels of heavy metals at the abattoirs or farms from which NXGEN Wholefoods sources its organs.

NXGEN Wholefoods manages the entire supply chain process, from farm to jar, and can trace every product back to the farm and the animal. 

While NXGEN Wholefoods oversees the entire process from organ to bottle, most companies have no involvement in the process. They don’t source their own raw organs, they don’t produce their own raw materials, and they don’t manufacture the finished product. All they do is slap their label on a product made by someone else, from organs sourced from a vast number of places, all mixed together, and then market the hell out of them. Often, these are white label products, where a single large company makes the same product for hundreds or thousands of companies. We think it’s best to go with a company that controls the whole process over one with the best marketing. 

While in the US, FDA regulations and inspections are being further cut and defunded, leading to more adulteration and contamination of supplements, Australia's TGA standards for supplements continue to be among the strictest in the world. This protects your health and ensures you get the best products. Australia has some of the most stringent regulations on supplement quality control and manufacturing in the world.

We are so proud to partner with NXGEN Wholefoods to bring you the most incredible beef organ supplements. They set the standard that all companies should strive for. 

You deserve the best beef organ supplements; stop settling for companies that are really just glorified marketing agencies.
