Beef Liver tablets?

robbie416 · 10-15-2007, 01:46 AM

At the gym the other day a friend of mine was rambling off a list of supplements he was taking and one particularly caught my interest, now forgive if beef liver is some sort of bb secret i've never ran across before, but this kid said he was taking concentrated beef liver tablets, certainly this cant be the equivallent of eating liver b/c honestly i know as much as we all just LOVE to eat liver that shit is terrible for you, more LDL than you even wanna think about, but can someone please shed a little light on this for me, why would anyone take beef liver tablets (im asking you all b/c when i asked him the moron said "b/c someone told me too")

I've never heard of beef liver tabs. Sounds stupid.

whey, gen. vitamin, creatine mono, bcaa, flax oil. That's a good stack.

Uni-Liver (500 tabs) By Universal Nutrition
I've talked to people that swear by the stuff. They dont seem like they would be too bad to me, either.

Probably the same people who don't know why they are taking it... just some huge guys at the gym told them to take it.

liver tabs have been around darn near as long as protein powder. I can remember them being promoted in my dad's old Strength & Health magazines in the 1960s. they're a good source of protein, B-vitamins, & iron. my dad says they give him more energy & his girlfriend's dr. recommended she take them to help her through menopause. she said they gave her more pep, too.

I stay away from them b/c of the (loosely stated) theory to much iron can contribute to heart attacks.

vitamans minerals, aminos.... why not take them their not too pricey. They would be good for when your forced to be in a fasted state (ie work school etc) imo.

Maybe it's something to look into, apparently there has to be somethin done in the process though to cut out the cholesterol b/c before i take it i wanna know that i'll live to see 30, trust me in my nutrition class they drill it into us, except for ppl with iron deficient anemia, stay away from organ meats (fyi)
