Why whole organs?

The ingredients behind Órgãos and Fígado, how we prepare them, and the food research you can read for yourself.

Start with the food.

Bovine liver, heart and kidney are different foods, each with its own composition. Our first products begin with the whole organ.

You can choose these ingredients without buying them raw or preparing them in the kitchen.

Choose by the ingredients.

Órgãos brings bovine liver, heart and kidney together in equal parts by dried weight. Fígado keeps to bovine liver alone.

Both use a vegetable capsule (HPMC). You can read the planned ingredients on each product page, with the complete label available before orders open.

From organ to capsule.

Collected chilled, the organs stay frozen through storage and transport to Spain. There, they are freeze-dried under vacuum: the ice passes straight to vapour without becoming liquid water first.

The dried organ is milled into powder and put into capsules. Drying changes the weight, so a gram of powder is not a gram of fresh organ.

Why keep the organs frozen?

The recommended fridge-storage time for fresh liver, heart and kidney is one to two days. Our organs are collected chilled, then kept frozen through storage and transport, arriving frozen at the freeze-drying facility.

A 2024 study of raw US beef organs found differences in the composition of liver, heart and kidney. It is a food reference, not a study of our finished capsules.
