Same here, i get 180 days supply of a multi-V that includes B12 for $20 USD and i take it because i’m a gym rat. The liver is where all toxins and mercury are more concentrated so I don’t know how good of an idea is eating it as a “supplement”.
- adrian_b 4y agoThere are public reports with the results of randomized searches for mercury in various fish oil and fish liver oil products. The results have always been that the mercury concentrations were lower than in other fish products, e.g. whole fish or fish filet. Regarding liver, e.g. chicken liver, as containing concentrated toxins, that is a myth. The liver is not a storage place for toxins. The liver is an organ that takes toxins from the blood that passes through it and then destroys them, typically by oxidation. Immediately after a meal that happens to contain very high quantities of undesirable substances, there will be a time interval when the liver will indeed contain higher concentrations of those. For example after a heavy drinking, for some hours the liver will contain more alcohol, until it is oxidized. However, after a long enough time since the last meal, the liver will contain less quantities of toxins than most other parts of the body, because they are destroyed soon after taking them from the blood, which other organs cannot do. The domestic animals that are killed for meat are typically slaughtered after some fasting time, so a higher level of toxins in the liver than in other parts is unlikely.
