I have been deficient in nutrients before. How about you? That's why I supplement my diet. Desiccated beef liver tablets have been part of my supplement regimen for years. It's one of the supplements I will continue to take no matter my fitness goals. This is because of its nutritional content. Let's look at the nutritional profile of uncooked liver for comparison. Desiccated beef liver means we dried the beef liver to turn it into powder. A 3oz serving of beef liver contains:

• Calories: 153

• Protein: 23g

• Fat: 4g

• Carbohydrates: 4g

• Fiber: less than 1g

• Sugar: less than 1g

It also provides:

Micronutrient	Function
Vitamin A	Immunity, vision, reproduction, and cellular communication
Iron	Transfers oxygen from the lungs to the tissues
Copper	Enables proper metabolic process in combination with vitamins and amino acids
Zinc	Important for immune function, wound healing, and the sense of smell and taste
Potassium	Important to maintain fluid balance and blood pressure
Magnesium	Regulates protein synthesis; muscle and nerve functions, blood glucose and pressure
Phosphorus	Component of bones, teeth, DNA, RNA, and energy
Chromium	Plays a role in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism
Choline	Improves cognitive performance; prevent anxiety and mood disorders
CoQ10	Important for cardiovascular function
Purines	Vital role as precursor for our DNA and RNA
Cytochrome P450	"Anti-fatigue" factor; plays a role in cellular metabolism

And it does not stop there. I did not cover the B vitamins:

B Vitamin	Function
Thiamine (B1)	Plays critical role in energy (cellular) metabolism
Riboflavin (B2)	Plays a role innerly production and metabolism of fats
Niacin (B3)	Supports digestion
Pantothenic acid (B5)	Essential for fat metabolism
B6	Macronutrient metabolism; and red blood cell formation
Folate (B9)	Supports protein metabolism
B12	Converts food into energy and red blood cell formation

And there you have it. Here's what desiccated liver tables provide you. It's no wonder why they are a super food. You will feel the difference in less than a week of taking this supplement.
