How organ supplements are made

Organ supplements are dried food in a capsule. Fresh organs are trimmed, dried until the moisture is gone, milled into a fine powder, and filled into capsules at a stated serving weight.

Trimming and drying

Drying is the step that makes the food shelf stable and removes the taste. The two common routes are compared in desiccated vs freeze-dried organ supplements, and the freeze-dried route has its own guide in freeze-dried organ supplements.

Milling and filling

Dried organ is milled to powder and filled by weight. Powder can also be sold loose, and the two forms are compared in organ supplement powder or capsules.

The label serving is the end product

What reaches you is the serving on the label: capsules per serving and milligrams of dried organ per serving. How that figure is stated is covered in organ supplement serving size.

Single organs and blends follow the same steps

A single-organ product like liver and a multi-organ blend go through the same trimming, drying and milling steps. Only the mix in the capsule changes.
