Fitlab Scoring Protocol · FSP v2.1

Score Breakdown

Five-organ blend: beef liver, heart, kidney, spleen, and pancreas. Each organ contributes distinct nutrients — liver (retinol, B12, heme iron), heart (CoQ10), kidney (selenium, B2), spleen (heme iron, zinc), pancreas (enzymes, B vitamins). The nose-to-tail approach is the most nutritionally complete in this category. Minor deduction: individual organ doses are not disclosed — it is a proprietary blend. You cannot know the exact retinol contribution from liver alone, which matters for safety calculations.

Heart & Soil publish their farming partners on the website and COA data is available. Dr. Saladino is publicly known and regularly discusses formulation decisions on his podcast. The main transparency gap is the proprietary blend — doses per organ are undisclosed. This is the most significant weakness given that retinol toxicity is a real concern and consumers cannot calculate their exact intake without knowing the liver-to-total-organ ratio.

Informed Sport certified — every batch is tested for over 200 WADA-prohibited substances. This is the gold standard for supplement purity verification and is the highest verification level available for this product category. Heavy metal COA is also available. No other beef organ supplement in this roundup holds this certification. For competitive athletes, this is decisive.

At $55/bottle (30 servings), this is $1.83/serving — the most expensive in the category. The Informed Sport premium is real and justified for athletes; for everyone else, the additional $0.33/serving over Ancestral Supplements is harder to justify. The 5-organ blend does provide broader nutrition, but without disclosed dosing, you cannot compare organ-for-organ efficiency. For non-athletes who do not need Informed Sport testing, Ancestral Supplements at $1.50/serving is the better value.

Six capsules per serving — same as Ancestral Supplements. Freeze-dried, room-temperature stable, travel-friendly. No taste or smell. The multi-organ approach means you are covering more nutritional bases in the same 6 capsules rather than concentrating on liver alone. Dr. Saladino's recommended protocol (6 caps with the largest meal) is clear and well-reasoned.

Supplement Facts

Serving size: 6 capsules · Servings per container: 30

Retinol (Vit A)

~500–2,000 IU

~5–20% DV

Liver is the primary source. Diluted across 5 organs — significantly less than a single-organ liver product. This is a safety advantage for those monitoring retinol intake.

Vitamin B12

~8–15 µg

~300–600% DV

Liver and kidney are the two richest B12 sources. Both are in this blend — B12 delivery is excellent.

Heme Iron

~1–2 mg

~6–11% DV

Liver and spleen together provide two distinct heme iron sources. Spleen has the highest iron density of any organ tissue (~42mg/100g).

CoQ10

~5–15 mg

No DV set

Beef heart is the richest dietary CoQ10 source (113mg/100g fresh heart). Absent from single-organ liver products — this is a key differentiator of the multi-organ approach.

Selenium

~15–30 µg

~25–55% DV

Beef kidney is the primary selenium source. Relevant for thyroid function and antioxidant defense.

Zinc

~1–2 mg

~9–18% DV

Spleen is a meaningful zinc source. Zinc is a cofactor for immune function and testosterone synthesis.

Pregnant women: consult your OB/GYN before use

The proprietary blend in Heart & Soil makes it impossible to calculate exact retinol intake — a critical consideration given retinol's teratogenic potential above 10,000 IU/day. For pregnant women, a product with disclosed ingredient doses is safer.

At 6 caps/day: likely safe for most healthy adults

A 5-organ blend distributes the 3g across five tissues. The liver fraction is likely 600mg or less — significantly less retinol than a single-organ liver product at the same total dose.

With a daily multivitamin: check your total retinol

Many multivitamins contain 750–1,500 mcg RAE of preformed Vitamin A. Combined with organ supplements, total intake approaches the 3,000 mcg UL. Monitor total retinol from all sources.

For athletes: Informed Sport provides safety assurance

The Informed Sport certification verifies every batch for WADA-prohibited substances. For drug-tested athletes, this is the decisive factor — no other organ supplement offers this assurance.
