Dried beef kidney is freeze-dried, finely ground beef kidney tissue. Our beef kidney supplement consists of 100 % organic beef kidney from Estonian pasture farming, and each capsule contains 400 mg of kidney powder. Apart from the kidney and the beef gelatine capsule shell, the product contains nothing else.
Beef kidney nutrition: natural vitamin B12, selenium and riboflavin
Organ meats are among the most natural sources of vitamin B12, and kidney is no exception. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, to normal functioning of the nervous system, to normal red blood cell formation and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
With the full daily serving of 8 capsules, beef kidney also provides natural selenium and riboflavin. Selenium contributes to the normal function of the thyroid, to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Beef kidney in traditional cooking
In Britain it is best known from steak and kidney pie, in Switzerland as “saure Nierli” in a tangy sauce, in Germany as kidneys in cream sauce or kidney goulash. Beef kidney was long an established and affordable part of everyday cooking. Because it has to be soaked before cooking and has a strong flavour of its own, it has largely disappeared from the table. Our capsules bring it back into the diet, without any recipe or preparation.
Why freeze-dried beef kidney?
Freeze-drying removes the water from the kidney at very low temperatures, without heating it. Heat-sensitive components are largely preserved. What remains is a concentrated kidney powder that keeps well, is neutral in taste and can be dosed precisely.
Grass-fed beef kidney from organic pasture farming
Our beef kidneys come from grass-fed cattle raised on Estonian organic pastures. Each capsule contains nothing but the freeze-dried kidney, with no fillers, anti-caking agents or colourings. In addition, we have the product lab-tested for nutrients and purity (see “Lab analyses & certificates”).
Who are beef kidney capsules for?
Beef kidney capsules are for anyone who wants to include organ meats in their diet nose-to-tail but does not want to prepare kidney themselves or does not like its taste. They suit everyone who prefers natural vitamin B12 from real food over synthetic single-nutrient products. As the capsule shell is made of beef gelatine, the product is not vegetarian.
