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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 5 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

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?

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: gut and digestion support.
  • We looked for evidence on: digestive health, intestinal function, microbiome health, nutrient absorption.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

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.

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.

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.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Liver Extract

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.

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.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

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.

Liver2 drug types · 3 drugs

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.

Gut & Digestion by Heart & Soil: Common Questions

Does Gut & Digestion by Heart & Soil interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Gut & Digestion 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?
Gut & Digestion contains 5 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 are these organ ingredients supposed to do?
These are whole-food concentrates from animal organs — the idea is that you're getting naturally occurring nutrients from liver, pancreas, spleen, and digestive tissues. The liver ingredient is the one with some research attached, though the evidence for most uses is sparse or limited. The other organs in the formula don't have established effectiveness data in our records.
Is it safe if I'm pregnant?
Liver extract can contain very high vitamin A, which may harm a developing baby. The product facts advise against it unless your doctor says otherwise. If you're thinking about taking this while pregnant, talk to your doctor before you start.
Where does the liver come from, and is it safe?
Liver extract comes from raw animal liver sourced at slaughterhouses — which may come from sick or diseased animals. There's also a theoretical contamination risk with BSE (mad cow disease) if the source country has reported BSE cases. No human BSE cases from liver extract have been reported, but safety hasn't been thoroughly studied, so check with your doctor first.
Can I take this with my iron supplement?
Not without checking first. Liver extract naturally contains heme iron, so taking it alongside iron supplements could increase your total iron intake and raise the risk of stomach upset or iron buildup — especially at high doses or over long periods. Talk to your pharmacist about whether it's okay for you.
Will this affect my warfarin?
Possibly. Liver extract may contain small amounts of vitamin K, which theoretically could reduce warfarin's effectiveness, but this interaction hasn't been directly studied in humans, so the real-world risk is unclear. If you take warfarin, mention this product to your pharmacist before you start.
