HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Grassfed Adrenal by Ancestral Supplements
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
Low disclosure
Grassfed Adrenal contains 3 active ingredients: whole Adrenal (a blend of adrenal tissue components), Liver, and Adrenal Cortex and Adrenal Medulla (the outer and inner layers of the adrenal gland). The product also contains gelatin as an inactive ingredient (the capsule material).
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for liver extract in chronic fatigue syndrome (exhaustion that doesn't improve with rest) is rated possibly ineffective in our data. For hepatitis C, the evidence is insufficient — we don't have enough reliable data to say whether it helps.
There are no effectiveness ratings on file for the adrenal components, so we cannot say what the evidence shows for those.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
No adverse reactions have been reported with liver extract in the data we hold, but a thorough safety study hasn't been done. There is concern about contamination — liver extract comes from raw animal liver from slaughterhouses, and there's a theoretical risk that liver from cows in countries where BSE (mad cow disease) has occurred could be contaminated with diseased tissue (including Great Britain, France, The Netherlands, Portugal, Luxembourg, Ireland, Switzerland, Oman, and Belgium).
No human cases of BSE from contaminated liver extract have been reported, but until more is known, the safety data advises choosing products from countries where BSE hasn't been reported. Liver extract can deliver very high levels of vitamin A and iron.
The safety data advises against liver products in pregnancy because of the risk to a developing baby from excess vitamin A. We hold no specific pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data for Adrenal Cortex or Adrenal Medulla — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Minor interactions only
Check with your pharmacist if you take warfarin (Coumadin) — a blood thinner — or any iron supplements or iron-containing medications before starting this product. The liver component could affect how warfarin works and increase iron in your body.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is meant to support adrenal function, but evidence for its effectiveness isn't established in our data. If you take warfarin or iron supplements, you'll want to check this product with your pharmacist first.
Pregnant women should avoid it. Talk to your pharmacist before starting, especially if you have any medical conditions or take prescription medications.

General Statements
For most of human history, we consumed the whole animal (nose-to-tail) with deep respect and profound purpose. For instance, Native Americans and early ancestral healers believed that eating the organs from a healthy animal would strengthen and support the health of the corresponding organ of the individual - also known as "like supports like." The traditional way of treating a person with a weak heart was to feed the person the heart of a healthy animal. Since we've abandoned these ways, the modern world has left us malnourished with an epidemic of declining health. The solution is to find ways to recreate our ancestral environment (sleep, nourishment, movement, sunshine, etc). It's time we honor our ancestors by putting back in, what the modern world has left out 9to return our people back to strength, health and happiness). We walk our talk and we offer a one-of-a-kind "guided" experience. Learn more at www.ancestralsupplements.com Brain Johnson "Liver king"

Grassfed Adrenal by Ancestral Supplements Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Grassfed Adrenal by Ancestral Supplements has documented interactions with a small number of medications, primarily through its Liver component.
The main concern is with warfarin (Coumadin), a blood thinner: liver extract contains variable amounts of vitamin K, which can theoretically reduce warfarin's blood-thinning effect and lower your INR (a measure of how thin your blood is). However, this interaction hasn't been directly studied in humans, so the real-world risk is unclear.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Liver extract can also contain heme iron. If you're taking iron supplements or iron-containing medications, combining them with this product could increase your total iron intake and raise the risk of stomach upset or iron buildup in your body — the risk is higher with large doses, long-term use, or if you have a condition like hemochromatosis (excess iron storage) or another iron-overload disorder.
We could not check two other ingredients in this product — Adrenal Cortex and Adrenal Medulla — because we hold no data for them. Altogether, these interactions span 3 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Grassfed Adrenal with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Liver
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.
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.
