Understanding Whole Food Supplements: Why Nutrient Levels Vary
When it comes to supplementation, many people expect exact nutrient values, similar to what is found in multivitamins. However, whole food supplements, such as Codeage Grass-Fed Beef Liver, operate differently. As a natural, minimally processed food source, the nutrient profile can fluctuate from batch to batch due to variations in diet, season, and environmental conditions of the cattle.
Whole Food vs. Synthetic Multivitamins
Multivitamins are formulated to provide specific amounts of isolated nutrients. They are synthetically manufactured to ensure each pill contains an exact dosage of vitamins and minerals. While this may be beneficial for those looking for precise nutrient intake, it does not necessarily mimic the way our bodies naturally obtain and absorb nutrients from whole foods.
In contrast, Codeage Grass-Fed Beef Liver is a whole food supplement, meaning it retains the natural co-factors, enzymes, and synergistic compounds that exist in food form. These elements contribute to optimal absorption and utilization by the body. However, because it is a natural product, the exact levels of vitamins A, B12, iron, zinc, and other nutrients can vary slightly from batch to batch.
The Benefits of Whole Food Nutrition
Whole food supplements offer a unique advantage: they provide nutrients in their most bioavailable and recognizable forms. Beef liver is known to be rich in essential vitamins and minerals, including:
Vitamin A (Retinol) – Supports vision, immune health, and skin health.
Vitamin B12 – Essential for energy production and nervous system function.
Iron – A key component in red blood cell production and oxygen transport.
Zinc – Supports immune function, wound healing, and enzyme reactions.
Protein & Omega Fatty Acids – Help with muscle maintenance and overall metabolic health.
Since these nutrients come from a real food source, they are often more bioavailable than their synthetic counterparts.
Why Nutrient Levels May Vary
Each serving of Codeage Grass-Fed Beef Liver provides 3,000 mg of freeze-dried, desiccated liver from pasture-raised, grass-fed cattle. However, because this is derived from a natural source, factors such as seasonal changes in the cattle’s diet and environmental conditions can slightly alter nutrient content. This variation is a normal and expected characteristic of whole food supplements.
Choosing the Right Supplement for Your Needs
If you are looking for a supplement with exact nutrient amounts per serving, a synthetic multivitamin may be a better fit. However, if you prefer a natural, whole food approach that delivers a broad spectrum of nutrients as nature intended, then a beef liver supplement is an excellent choice.
By choosing Codeage Grass-Fed Beef Liver, you are embracing the benefits of whole food nutrition, understanding that the nutrients in each batch may naturally vary while still providing essential support for overall health.
