Do liver glandulars help to support liver function (detoxification, fat digestion, absorbtion and so forth)?
Or is this more myth rather than it having any scientific backing.

Liver is a great source of nutrients – including Vitamin A, B12, D, iron, copper, etc. A nutrient dense diet usually includes regular intake of organ meats such as liver.
These liver-derived nutrients would help metabolism and liver function. Detoxification, for example, often involves numerous cytochrome P-450 enzymes. These all need iron to function.
It is sad that Liver and Onions went out of style in so many modern diets.
The liver secretes bile, which helps fat digestion. When people lose their gallbladders, fat digestion and the absorption of fat soluble vitamins (A,D, B12, E, K) is impaired.

Yes liver is excellent to eat, my family eats this regularly it is in our tradition.
I am hoping to have some benefit from this liver bovine tissue extract.
Sorry, do you mean this supplement would help the liver in it’s functioning or do you mean liver derived nutrients from eating actual liver would be helpful?
This is the supplement in question:

This is the supplement in question:
The supplement consists of 500 mg of Cow Liver per capsule. It does not say whether or not it is an extract. It simply says liver tissue.
I would thus assume it is equivalent to eating regular cow liver.
I hope it is cooked.
