Thread: The Real Reason Liver Is the Most Powerful Food on the Planet, especially in today’s modern diets.

9. What About “Toxins” in Liver?
Myth. Liver processes toxins, but doesn’t store them. It stores nutrients to deal with those toxins.
Key is quality:

- Micronutrient Overload
100g of beef liver contains:
- ~7,000–9,000 IU vitamin A (as retinol)
- ~70 mcg vitamin B12 (2900% RDA)
- ~2.8 mg riboflavin (vitamin B2)
- ~18 mg niacin (B3)
- ~15 mg iron (heme form)
- ~350 mg choline
- ~6.5 mg zinc
- ~1.1 mg copper
- ~27g protein
- And 800-1000% of ur daily needs of vitamin A
- Retinol (Vitamin A)
Liver provides real vitamin A — not the weak beta-carotene in carrots. Retinol supports:
- Vision and eye health
- Skin regeneration (treats acne, psoriasis)
- Immune system signaling
- Testosterone synthesis (testes concentrate retinol)
- Vitamin B12 and B-Complex
- 100g liver = 20x RDA of B12
- B2, B3, B5, folate all included
Functions: - Methylation, mood regulation
- ATP production (mitochondrial function)
- Nervous system repair
- Homocysteine control (cardiovascular health)
- Iron (Heme Form)
Liver contains heme iron — the form your body actually absorbs.
Benefits:
- Oxygen transport
- Mental clarity, energy
- Prevents anemia and fatigue
- Especially useful for women and athletes
- Choline: The Underrated Nutrient
Liver is one of the richest natural sources of choline.
Choline supports:
- Liver detoxification
- Methylation (alongside B12/folate)
- Acetylcholine synthesis (learning neurotransmitter)
- Zinc, Copper, and Selenium
Zinc and copper are in a perfect ratio (~6:1), which prevents imbalances.
- Zinc: testosterone, immune function, DNA repair
- Copper: collagen formation, iron metabolism, energy
- Selenium: antioxidant defense (glutathione peroxidase support)
- Protein + Amino Acid Density
Liver provides ~27g of complete protein per 100g.
Full amino acid profile, including:
- Glycine (joint, skin, collagen)
- Methionine (methyl donor)
- Leucine (muscle protein synthesis)
Liver supports:
- Cholesterol balance (testosterone precursor)
- Zinc + vitamin A = healthy androgen production
- B vitamins = energy metabolism, less fatigue
Natural performance booster.
9. What About “Toxins” in Liver?
Myth. Liver processes toxins, but doesn’t store them. It stores nutrients to deal with those toxins.
Key is quality:
- Grass-fed beef or lamb liver
- No factory-farmed junk
- Try getting it from a local butcher
- Frozen, raw, or lightly cooked = max nutrient preservation
