Has anyone here ever taken dessicated liver tablets? I take "normal" iron pills but was considering a move to those as my form of iron supplementation as I begin training for my first marathon.
If you have/do take them, which ones do you use? I would be looking for something from grass-fed, preferably organic beef.
Thanks!
No, but the name is sure appetizing.
No, but I have read that they are a better source of iron that ferrous sulfate pills. The iron in them is more readily absorbed and used.
seems like there is always a 'supplement of the era' that will help distance runners. Dessicated liver tablets and bee pollen were 2 big ones in the mid 70s. Did they help me? I have no idea. Is d.l. hot again?
I used to take dessicated liver powder mixed with water with a few raw eggs thrown in for good measure. That was sometime in the early 1960s. I probably took it for about 2 months. It had no effect as far as I could tell although I am still running strong today so maybe it helped my longevity. LOL
Took it in the 80's.... no effect.
