HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Gut & Digestion by Heart & Soil
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 five active ingredients sourced from animal organs: spleen, liver, pancreas, tripe (stomach), and intestines. These are whole-food organ concentrates — sometimes called "nose-to-tail" supplements — meant to deliver naturally occurring nutrients from those tissues.
The product is supplied as capsules with bovine gelatin as an inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for liver extract is very limited. For chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), it's rated possibly ineffective.
For hepatitis C, we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate it either way. The other organ ingredients in this product don't have established effectiveness ratings in our data.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Liver extract is generally well tolerated in food amounts, but the product facts point to a few cautions. Liver can deliver very high levels of vitamin A and iron — especially at supplement doses — and there are concerns about the source: liver extract comes from raw animal liver at slaughterhouses, which may come from sick or diseased animals.
There's also a theoretical risk of contamination with BSE (mad cow disease) if the source country has reported BSE, though no human cases from contaminated liver extract have ever been reported. The safety of this product hasn't been thoroughly studied, so check with your doctor before using it.
If you're pregnant, the high vitamin A in liver products could harm a developing baby, so avoid it unless your doctor advises otherwise. Safety data for breastfeeding isn't on file.
Meds to double-check
Minor interactions only
If you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any blood thinner, or if you use iron supplements or iron-containing medications, check this product with your pharmacist first. Both interactions are rated Minor but are worth confirming against your specific drugs.
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 whole-food organ-concentrate product with limited evidence for the conditions it may target. If you take warfarin or iron supplements, you'll want to talk to your pharmacist first — the interactions are documented but not yet proven in real people.
Anyone concerned about source quality, contamination risk, or high vitamin A and iron levels should discuss this with their doctor before starting.

Gut & Digestion by Heart & Soil Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Gut & Digestion by Heart & Soil has documented interactions with three individual medications.
The main concern is with warfarin (Coumadin), a blood thinner — the liver extract in this product may contain small amounts of vitamin K, which theoretically could reduce warfarin's effectiveness and lower your INR (a measure of how thin your blood is). However, this interaction hasn't been directly studied or reported in humans, so the real-world risk is unclear.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The other documented interaction is with iron supplements or iron-containing medications. Liver extract naturally contains heme iron, and taking it alongside iron products might increase your total iron intake and raise the risk of stomach upset or iron buildup in your body — especially at high doses, over long periods, or if you have hemochromatosis (a condition where your body stores too much iron).
Both of these interactions are rated Minor.
We could not check three other ingredients in this product — spleen, pancreas, tripe/stomach, and intestines — so we have no interaction data for them. Run your exact medications through the interaction checker on this page before you start.

For each ingredient in Gut & Digestion 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.
