HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Beef Liver by Codeage

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Codeage Beef Liver is a straightforward supplement: it contains one active ingredient, grass-fed liver extract, packaged in a gelatin capsule. That's it — no other active ingredients.

Does it work?

Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Liver Extract product and its label doesn't state a use — see Liver Extract's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for liver extract in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) rates as possibly ineffective, based on the data we hold. For hepatitis C, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate it either way.

If you're considering this product for another purpose, we don't have effectiveness ratings on file for it.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Liver Extract

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Liver extract is generally low-risk for healthy adults at food-level amounts, but it can deliver very high levels of vitamin A and iron — nutrients that add up fast if you're getting them from other sources too. There's also a sourcing concern: liver extract comes from raw animal liver collected at slaughterhouses, and there's a theoretical risk of contamination from sick animals or, in countries where it's been documented, from bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, also called mad cow disease).

No cases of BSE transfer to humans from liver extract have been reported so far, but the risk hasn't been fully ruled out. If you're pregnant, the safety data advises against this product unless your doctor specifically recommends it — the high vitamin A content may harm a developing baby.

Overall, a thorough safety evaluation hasn't been completed, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Liver Extract.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 3 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take warfarin (Coumadin) or iron supplements, double-check with your pharmacist before adding this product. Both interactions are Minor, but the warfarin effect could reduce your medication's ability to prevent clots, and extra iron could upset your stomach or build up over time.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Codeage Beef Liver is a simple, single-ingredient supplement that's generally low-risk for most healthy adults — but it's not right for everyone. If you take warfarin, iron supplements, or have an iron-storage disorder, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your pharmacist first.

Source quality matters, so knowing where the product comes from is worth asking about.

Iron

Liver extract can contain heme iron. Taking liver extract with iron-containing medications or supplements may increase total iron intake and could increase the risk of gastrointestinal adverse effects or excessive iron accumulation. The risk is greater with high doses, prolonged use, or in individuals with hemochromatosis or another iron-overload disorder. Review the iron content of the liver extract and the total elemental iron dose. Avoid unnecessary duplicate iron supplementation and consider monitoring ferritin and transferrin saturation when clinically appropriate.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Liver extract products may contain small and variable amounts of vitamin K. Theoretically, starting, stopping, or substantially changing the amount of liver extract used could reduce the anticoagulant effect of warfarin and lower the INR. However, this interaction has not been directly studied or reported in humans, and the vitamin K content of liver extract products is generally not standardized. Consider monitoring the INR after a meaningful change in liver extract use.

Beef Liver by Codeage: Common Questions

Does Beef Liver by Codeage interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Beef Liver has a known interaction with 3 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Beef Liver contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against liver extract in pregnancy unless your doctor specifically recommends it, because it can deliver very high vitamin A, which may harm a developing baby. Safety during breastfeeding hasn't been well studied. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using if you're pregnant or nursing.
Does this actually help with chronic fatigue?
The evidence we hold rates liver extract as possibly ineffective for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). If that's why you're interested in it, it may not be the right fit.
What's inside the capsule?
Just one active ingredient: grass-fed liver extract. The capsule itself is gelatin.
Can I take this with my iron supplement?
Liver extract naturally contains heme iron, so taking both together could increase your total iron intake and raise the risk of stomach upset or iron buildup, especially at high doses or with long-term use. If you have hemochromatosis or another iron-overload condition, the risk is higher. Check with your pharmacist first.
What's the concern about BSE (mad cow disease)?
Liver extract comes from raw animal liver at slaughterhouses, and in some countries where BSE has been documented, there's a theoretical risk of contaminated tissue. No human cases have been reported from liver extract products so far, but it hasn't been completely ruled out. Knowing the country of origin matters.
Is this safe for everyone?
It's generally low-risk for healthy adults, but liver extract can deliver very high levels of vitamin A and iron — so if you're already getting a lot of these nutrients elsewhere, or if you have an iron-storage condition, it may not be the best choice for you. Talk to your pharmacist if you have any health conditions or take other supplements.
