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 contains one active ingredient: bovine liver extract, which is dried liver tissue from cattle. The capsule also contains methylcellulose, an inactive ingredient used as a binder and filler.

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 beef liver extract is limited. For chronic fatigue syndrome, the data suggests it's possibly ineffective.

For hepatitis C, there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to rate whether it works. If you're considering this product for either condition, talk with your doctor about whether it's a reasonable choice for you.

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.

Beef liver is generally well tolerated in food amounts, but this supplement delivers concentrated doses — and liver can be very high in vitamin A and iron. High vitamin A, especially in early pregnancy, may harm a developing baby; if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant, avoid this product unless your doctor advises otherwise.

There's also a theoretical concern about contamination: liver is sourced from slaughterhouses and could potentially come from sick animals, and liver extract from countries where BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy, also called mad cow disease) has occurred could theoretically carry contaminated tissue, though no human cases have been reported from liver products so far. Because safety hasn't been thoroughly studied, check with your doctor before starting.

Bovine Liver2 drug types · 3 drugs

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.
Is beef liver safe during pregnancy?
Liver products can contain very high levels of vitamin A, which may harm a developing baby. Avoid this product unless your doctor advises otherwise. If you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Can I take this with my iron supplement?
Beef liver naturally contains heme iron, so taking it with iron supplements could increase your total iron intake, especially if you're taking high doses or using iron long-term. This matters more if you have hemochromatosis or another iron-overload condition. Ask your pharmacist whether it's safe to combine them, or if you should space them apart.
Does this help with chronic fatigue?
The evidence suggests beef liver extract is possibly ineffective for chronic fatigue syndrome. If you're looking for a treatment for CFS, talk with your doctor about options that have stronger evidence behind them.
What should I know about contamination risk?
Liver is sourced from slaughterhouses and could come from sick or diseased animals. There's also a theoretical concern about BSE (mad cow disease) contamination if the cattle came from countries where BSE has been reported, though no human cases have been linked to liver extract products so far. Ask the manufacturer where their cattle are sourced.
What is bovine liver extract?
It's dried, concentrated liver tissue from cattle. This product is a whole-food supplement — the liver is powdered and put into capsules.
