Bovine-derived ingredients (such as beef extracts, bovine glandulars, and various bovine organ preparations) have a long history of use in traditional medicine systems to address debility, fatigue, and general weakness. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, "beef tea" and similar preparations were commonly administered to convalescent patients in Western medicine, believed to provide strength and stamina due to their protein and micronutrient content. Traditional systems, such as Ayurveda and some forms of European folk medicine, have also used bovine organs and extracts as tonics for individuals suffering from weakness or chronic illness. The rationale was often based on the belief that consuming healthy animal tissue could support the corresponding human organ or function.

However, the scientific evidence supporting these practices is limited. While bovine extracts do contain proteins, amino acids, and some micronutrients, controlled clinical trials specifically validating their efficacy for treating debility are lacking. Modern nutrition science suggests that general protein and nutrient intake is important for recovery from debility, but does not specifically endorse bovine extracts over other protein sources. Therefore, while the use of bovine products for debility is supported by tradition, robust scientific validation is absent.
