HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Grassfed Gallbladder 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
Full disclosure
This product has 3 active ingredients: bovine liver, bovine gallbladder, and ox bile. These are organ extracts intended to support digestive and metabolic function, following the ancestral nutrition principle of consuming nutrient-dense animal organs.
The capsules also contain gelatin as an inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold addresses liver extract for chronic fatigue syndrome and hepatitis C. For chronic fatigue, the rating is possibly ineffective.
For hepatitis C, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate it either way. The facts don't provide effectiveness ratings for bovine gallbladder or ox bile.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
No adverse reactions have been formally reported, but a thorough safety evaluation hasn't been done. There are two concerns worth taking seriously.
First, liver products can deliver very high levels of vitamin A, which may harm a developing baby—so pregnancy requires your doctor's approval before use. Second, because liver extract comes from raw animal livers sourced from slaughterhouses, there's potential for contamination from sick or diseased animals.
There's also a theoretical risk of BSE (mad cow disease) contamination if the product comes from countries where BSE has been reported, though no human cases from contaminated liver extract have been documented so far. The product facts recommend checking the country of origin.
Meds to double-check
Minor interactions only
If you take warfarin (Coumadin), a blood thinner, be aware that the vitamin K in liver extract may theoretically reduce its effect—though this hasn't been studied directly in people. If you take iron supplements or iron-containing medications, the heme iron in this product could add to your total iron intake.
Check both of these with your pharmacist before use.
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.
This is an organ-based supplement that's generally well tolerated in food amounts but can deliver concentrated doses of vitamin A and iron. If you take warfarin or iron supplements, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your pharmacist before starting.
Check where the bovine liver was sourced to rule out BSE-risk countries.

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 (to return our people back to strength, health and happiness). We walk our talk and we offer a one-of-a-kind “guided” experience. Brian Johnson “Liver King”

Grassfed Gallbladder by Ancestral Supplements Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Grassfed Gallbladder by Ancestral Supplements contains bovine liver, which has two documented interactions.
The most serious is with warfarin (Coumadin), a blood thinner: liver extract may contain small amounts of vitamin K, which could theoretically reduce warfarin's effectiveness and lower your INR if you start, stop, or substantially change how much you take. This hasn't been studied directly in humans, but it's worth knowing about.
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, adding liver extract could increase your total iron intake and raise the risk of stomach upset or iron buildup in your body—especially if you take high doses, use it long-term, or have hemochromatosis or another iron overload condition.
Both interactions are Minor in severity.
We couldn't check the other two ingredients—bovine gallbladder and ox bile—because we hold no interaction data for them. Use the medication checker below to run your exact drugs against this product.

For each ingredient in Grassfed Gallbladder 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.
Bovine 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.
