HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Grassfed Thymus 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 contains 2 active ingredients: liver extract and thymus. Liver extract is a concentrated form of beef liver, traditionally used to support energy and nutrient density.
Thymus extract comes from the thymus gland, an organ involved in immune function. The capsules also contain gelatin as an inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold rates liver extract as possibly ineffective for chronic fatigue syndrome. For hepatitis C, the data is too limited to rate it either way — we simply don't have enough reliable evidence.
Thymus extract's effectiveness isn't established in our data.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Liver extract is generally low-risk for healthy adults eating it in food amounts, but this product delivers concentrated doses — potentially high levels of vitamin A and iron. Liver products may contain very high vitamin A, which could harm a developing baby, so pregnancy use should only happen under your doctor's guidance.
There's also concern about source quality: liver extract comes from raw animal liver collected at slaughterhouses, and in countries where bovine spongiform encephalitis (BSE) has been found, there's a theoretical risk of contaminated tissue. No cases of BSE transfer from liver extract to humans have been reported, but safety testing overall hasn't been thorough.
Meds to double-check
Minor interactions only
Check with us before using this product if you take warfarin (Coumadin) — it may reduce the drug's blood-thinning effect — or if you take iron supplements or iron-containing 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.
This is a traditional whole-food supplement if you're looking to add concentrated liver and thymus nutrients to your diet. If you take warfarin or iron supplements, check with us first — there's a potential interaction.
Pregnant people should talk to their doctor before using it. If you have questions about the source or quality of the liver, ask your pharmacist.

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. Learn more at www.ancestralsupplements.com Brian Johnson "Liver King"

Grassfed Thymus by Ancestral Supplements Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Grassfed Thymus by Ancestral Supplements contains liver extract, which has a small number of documented interactions.
The main concern is warfarin (Coumadin), a blood thinner. Liver extract can contain variable amounts of vitamin K, which theoretically could reduce warfarin's effect and lower your INR — but this hasn't been directly studied in people, so the real-world risk is unclear.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Liver extract also contains heme iron, the same form found in red meat. 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, especially at high doses or with long-term use.
The risk is greater if you have a condition that causes iron overload, such as hemochromatosis.
We could not check the thymus ingredient — we hold no data for it. Altogether, these interactions span 3 individual medications.

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.
