Hello radical health seekers,
Take a look at this popular ‘one-a-day’ multivitamin boasting 23 essential nutrients, including Vitamin D and Iron in a single daily capsule:
Products like this are part of a multibillion dollar market, and have hoodwinked millions of people into thinking they can get away with a nutrient-deficient diet so long as they take their synthetic supplements and vitamins.
But we as radical health seekers know there is a huge difference between synthetic nutrients made in a lab, and real nutrients found in whole foods like steak, eggs and liver.
A quick peek under the hood of this product and others like it reveals a host of issues:
⚠️ The iron is in the form of ferrous fumarate, a non-heme iron derived from iron salts, which is not the iron our bodies prefer. We are animals, which means the iron in our bodies matches the iron in other animals (such as cows). Therefore, iron from animal foods such as beef organs is a heme iron found in the protein complexes of hemoglobin and myoglobin, and more bioavailable and easily absorbed.
⚠️ The Vitamin A is 60% beta carotene, an inferior form of Vitamin A. Not only must your body convert it from beta-carotene to vitamin A, but the conversion factor is poor, ranging from 3% to 10%. Instead, Vitamin A from animal foods such as ground beef and liver comes in its active form, retinol, which your body can directly utilize.
⚠️ The zinc is zinc oxide, a non-organic form that is industrially synthesized from zinc ore. Contrast this with the organic form of zinc found in animal foods, which is bound to proteins to facilitate its absorption.
⚠️ The Vitamin B12 is in the form of cyanocobalamin, which is a non-bioavailable form of vitamin B12 not found in nature…
⚠️ And the Vitamin K is Phylloquinone, which is Vitamin K1, but it’s actually the Vitamin K2 form you want (found in animal foods!) because it has superior bioavailability and has been shown to be super important to ensure calcium is deposited into our bones and teeth instead of soft tissues where it doesn’t belong.
And what about the ‘other ingredients’?
These fillers, binders, stabilizers, solvents and coating agents are nothing more than an assault on our gut. They have no place in the human diet, and are a stark reminder of the vast differences between these synthetic multivitamin products and real whole foods.
At Heart & Soil we don’t sell supplements. We sell the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, freeze-dried in capsules. Our products are made on farms, not in chemical labs. It’s real nutrition from real food, with zero ‘other ingredients’.
There’s a difference, you see?
Synthetic supplements, multivitamins and fortified foods are derived from chemical compounds synthesized in a lab. They often contain very high amounts of nutrients to make up for the body’s inability to absorb them. They also often miss other forms of the vitamins that are usually found in food, which can alter actual absorption and utilization in the body.
In contrast, nutrients found in real food like beef liver mirror the nutrients already in our bodies, meaning we can make full use of them. They come in the correct form our bodies have evolved to expect over millions of years, which means they are highly absorbable and bioavailable. This means a little goes a long way. And they come accompanied by the necessary co-factors, enzymes and synergistic nutrients for optimum utilization.
Too many people have been hoodwinked into thinking a ‘one-a-day’ is an appropriate substitute for the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet.
If we can convince more people to swap their synthetic multivitamin for a bottle of Beef Organs, we can make a huge difference in our nation’s health.
Because Beef Organs are nature’s ultimate multivitamin. An incredible source of bioavailable nutrients as close to nature as it gets, in the convenience of capsules.
That’s all from us this week…
Stay Radical!

“Better than a Multi-Vitamin!
I added Beef Organs to my routine and eliminated my whole foods multi-vitamin supplement.
I noticed such a difference in my mental and physical energy that six months later, I am convinced this will be my new multi-vitamin!
Thank you for making a superb whole-food supplement to support people’s health journeys!”
