Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Bovine (unspecified), often referring to desiccated organs such as liver, has a long history of traditional use in supporting the hepatic (liver) system, primarily in the context of organotherapy. In traditional medicine, particularly in early 20th-century European and American naturopathy, the idea of "like supports like" led to the use of animal liver extracts to promote liver health in humans. The rationale was that consuming healthy animal liver would impart its nutrients and vitality to the human liver. Nutritionally, bovine liver is a rich source of vitamins A, B12, folate, iron, and other micronutrients essential for liver function and overall health. However, scientific validation for the use of generic "bovine" or bovine liver supplements specifically to support human hepatic health is limited. While the liver's nutrient density is well established, clinical trials directly linking bovine liver supplementation to improved liver function or treatment of liver diseases are lacking. Most evidence remains anecdotal or based on the known nutritional profile of liver rather than specific biomedical studies. As such, the use of bovine (unspecified) for hepatic support is primarily justified by tradition, with moderate evidence stemming from its nutritional content rather than rigorous clinical research.
