Why Liver and Spleen Belong in Your Wellness Routine

In the world of wholefood nutrition, few things rival the nutrient density of organs like liver and spleen. Once a staple in traditional diets, these powerful superfoods are now making a comeback — and for good reason. Packed with bioavailable vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, organ meats offer support for energy, immune health, hormonal balance, and more.

But if you’re not keen on cooking or eating organ meat, there’s good news: high-quality, freeze-dried organ supplements offer all the benefits without the taste or prep. At Botanic Balance, we stock four easy-to-use organ-based products by Cell Squared — all from Australian grass-fed, grass-finished cattle.

Let’s explore what makes them so powerful.

🥩 Why Take Liver or Spleen Supplements?

Liver is nature’s multivitamin. It’s one of the richest sources of:

Vitamin A (retinol) for skin, eyes, and immunity
B vitamins (especially B12) for energy and brain function
Iron (haem iron) for red blood cell production
Folate, copper, zinc, selenium, and choline

Spleen, while less commonly used, is a hidden gem for:

Provides highly absorbable haem iron, which helps maintain optimal ferritin levels and prevent deficiency
Immune peptides and enzymes that support white blood cell activity
Support during times of low immunity, fatigue, or recovery

These nutrients come in their natural, bioavailable forms — meaning your body recognises and uses them more efficiently than synthetic alternatives.

🧡 Who Benefits from Organ Supplements?

Organ capsules and powders are ideal for people who:

Feel tired, foggy, or low in energy
Struggle with iron or B12 deficiency
Want to support immunity, metabolism, and mental clarity
Are postpartum or in demanding life seasons
Follow ancestral or wholefood-based diets
Want to nourish their body with real, food-based nutrients

💡 How to Start

Capsules: Start with 2 per day and increase gradually (up to 4–6).
Powders: Begin with 1/4 tsp and build up to 1 tsp daily. Add to smoothies, eggs, or mince dishes.

If you’re new to organs, capsules are a simple, mess-free option. Powders give you the flexibility to sneak nutrient density into meals for the whole family.

How we use it at home:

We add the organ powders into everyday meals like spaghetti Bolognese, rissoles, and even chicken nugget coatings — it’s an easy way to boost iron and nutrients for our growing kids without them even noticing. I also take the liver capsules myself to support my own iron levels, which have been low since having the boys. It's a simple, food-based way to keep our whole family nourished.
