HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Multi Glandular by AB American Biologics
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
Multi Glandular is a blend of 10 glandular tissue extracts: Spleen, Brain, Liver, Heart, Kidney, Pancreas, Duodenum, Thymus, Adrenal, and Pituitary. The product is built on the theory that these concentrated animal tissues support the function of their corresponding organs in your body.
The tablet also contains two inactive ingredients — dicalcium phosphate and magnesium stearate — as a binder and flow agent.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold rates liver extract as possibly ineffective for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and insufficient to assess for hepatitis C. We have no effectiveness data on file for the other nine glandular ingredients in this product, so we can't speak to whether they work for any particular use.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Liver extract is generally well tolerated in food amounts, but this product can deliver high levels of vitamin A and iron, which carry real risks. Liver products are sourced from raw animal tissue at slaughterhouses and may come from sick or diseased animals — there's also a concern about contamination with BSE (mad cow disease) if sourced from affected countries, though no human BSE cases from liver extract have been reported.
Vitamin A from liver can harm a developing baby, so pregnancy safety advises against use unless your doctor specifically recommends it. We have no safety data on file for the other nine ingredients.
Meds to double-check
Minor interactions only
If you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any blood thinner, flag this product with your pharmacist — the liver extract's vitamin K content could weaken the drug's effect. If you take iron supplements or iron-containing medications, be aware that the liver extract here adds heme iron to your total intake.
No other interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check.
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.
If you're curious about glandular support and don't take warfarin or iron supplements, this product is low-risk enough to discuss with your pharmacist. If you're on a blood thinner or iron therapy, check with your doctor or pharmacist first — the liver extract's vitamin K and iron content matter for you.
Because we couldn't evaluate most of the ingredients, talk to your pharmacist about whether any of them fit your health goals.

Multi Glandular by AB American Biologics Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Multi Glandular by AB American Biologics contains nine glandular extracts that we couldn't check for interactions, plus liver extract — which is the only ingredient with documented interaction data.
Liver extract may contain vitamin K, which could theoretically weaken the blood thinner warfarin (Coumadin) and lower your INR, though this hasn't been directly studied in humans. It's a Minor interaction, but worth flagging if you're on warfarin.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Liver extract can also carry heme iron (a form of iron from animal tissue). If you take iron supplements or iron-containing medications alongside this product, your total iron intake could climb and raise the risk of stomach upset or too much iron building up in your body — especially if you're taking high doses, using it long-term, or have a condition like hemochromatosis (iron overload).
This is also a Minor interaction.
We could not check Spleen, Brain, Heart, Kidney, Pancreas, Duodenum, Thymus, Adrenal, or Pituitary for interactions — we hold no data on these ingredients. Altogether, these interactions span 3 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Multi Glandular 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.
