HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Beef Thymus 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.

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Codeage Beef Thymus contains two active ingredients: thymus and grass-fed bovine liver extract. The product comes in a gelatin capsule.

Liver extract is a concentrated animal tissue product, which is why it can carry notably high levels of certain nutrients like vitamin A and iron — and why source quality and origin matter.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 this product's intended uses is limited. For chronic fatigue syndrome, the data rates it as possibly ineffective.

For hepatitis C, there's insufficient reliable evidence to say whether it works or not. We hold no effectiveness data on the thymus ingredient itself.

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.

No adverse reactions have been formally reported, but a thorough safety evaluation hasn't been done. The main concerns are source-related: liver extract comes from raw animal liver obtained at slaughterhouses, raising the possibility of contamination from sick animals.

There's also a theoretical risk of contamination with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, or mad cow disease) if the extract comes from countries where BSE has been documented — including Great Britain, France, Ireland, Switzerland, and several others — though no human BSE cases from contaminated liver extract have been reported. Liver products can deliver very high vitamin A levels, which may harm a developing baby.

The product's safety in pregnancy and breastfeeding hasn't been well studied. Talk with your doctor before using this product, especially if you're pregnant, nursing, or have concerns about source safety.

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.

Check before taking this product if you use warfarin (a blood thinner) or iron supplements or medications. The interactions are minor but real — warfarin's effectiveness could drop, and iron levels could climb.

Altogether, these interactions span 3 individual medications.

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.

Beef thymus might interest someone curious about glandular supplements, but the evidence for its benefits is weak or absent, and source safety is a real question. If you take warfarin or iron supplements, check with us first.

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 Thymus by Codeage: Common Questions

Does Beef Thymus by Codeage interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Beef Thymus 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 Thymus contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
What's in this — is it just thymus?
No. It contains thymus and grass-fed bovine liver extract in a gelatin capsule. The liver extract is the part we have interaction and safety data on; the thymus ingredient is less well documented.
Does it actually work for fatigue or hepatitis?
Not reliably. For chronic fatigue, the evidence says it's possibly ineffective. For hepatitis C, there's not enough research to tell. The evidence we have is pretty thin.
Is it safe if I'm pregnant?
Liver extract can contain very high amounts of vitamin A, which may harm a developing baby. Safety hasn't been well studied. Talk with your doctor before using — don't start it on your own.
Where does the liver come from, and is it clean?
It's grass-fed bovine liver. Our main concern: it comes from slaughterhouse sources, which could include sick animals, and if it's sourced from countries where mad cow disease (BSE) has been found, there's a theoretical contamination risk. Ask the maker where theirs comes from.
Can it raise my iron levels too high?
Possibly. Liver extract contains heme iron. If you're already taking iron supplements or medications, adding this could push your total iron intake up and cause stomach trouble or iron overload, especially at high doses or over a long time. Check with us first if you take iron.
