HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Livatrate 475 mg by Progressive Professional from Progressive Laboratories
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
Livatrate 475 mg contains one active ingredient: liver extract, a desiccated (dried) form of animal liver. The capsule also includes gelatin, rice flour, and vegetable lubricant as inactive ingredients to hold it together and make it easy to take.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for liver extract in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is rated possibly ineffective — meaning it hasn't been shown to help. For hepatitis C, the data isn't reliable enough to say one way or the other.
The bottom line is that we don't have solid proof this product works for either condition.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
No adverse reactions have been formally reported, but the safety profile hasn't been thoroughly studied. The bigger concern is source quality: liver extract comes from raw animal liver from slaughterhouses, and there's a risk of contamination from sick or diseased animals.
There's also a theoretical risk of bovine spongiform encephalitis (BSE, also called mad cow disease) in extracts from cows in countries where BSE has been reported — though no human cases from contaminated liver extract have been documented so far. Liver extract can deliver very high levels of vitamin A and iron, which matters if you're taking this long-term or at high doses.
The product is not recommended in pregnancy due to the high vitamin A content, which could harm a developing baby.
Meds to double-check
Minor interactions only
Check your medications if you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any iron supplements or medications before adding this product. Altogether, these interactions span 3 individual 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 product is a single-ingredient supplement with minimal studied effectiveness for the conditions it's marketed for. If you're taking warfarin or iron supplements, talk to your pharmacist before starting.
Given the source-quality concerns and high micronutrient levels, it's worth checking with your doctor first, especially if you're pregnant or have an iron-overload condition.

Livatrate 475 mg by Progressive Professional from Progressive Laboratories Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Livatrate 475 mg from Progressive Professional contains liver extract, which has documented interactions with a small number of medications.
The main concern is with warfarin (Coumadin), a blood thinner. Liver extract can contain small amounts of vitamin K, which theoretically could reduce warfarin's effectiveness and lower your INR — but this interaction hasn't been directly studied or reported in people, so we're flagging it as a precaution.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Liver extract also contains heme iron. If you're taking iron-containing medications or supplements, combining them with this product could increase your total iron intake and raise the risk of stomach upset or iron overload, especially at higher doses or with long-term use.
The risk is higher if you have hemochromatosis or another condition that makes your body hold onto iron.
Additionally, we hold no interaction data for the inactive ingredients in this product. Run your exact medications through the search tool on this page before you start.

For each ingredient in Livatrate 475 mg 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.
