Products FAQs
Does Higher Health conduct third party testing on their products?
Yes! We consistently use a third party lab to conduct microbiological and heavy metals testing, which is kept for Health Canada records. Anyone can search and view this information by using our product NPN. All products need to come from CFIA inspected facilities to meet regulatory requirements.
01
Liver is a filter organ, how do you get rid of any contaminants left behind in it?
There is a lot of misinformation surrounding this. The liver does filter what is ingested but the waste is evacuated and not stored in the organ itself.
02
What are the benefits of each product?
- Liver is very nutritionally dense and it's an excellent source of iron.
- Heart is great to help recover from an injury or after a workout.
- Kidney has anti inflammatory and anti histamine properties.
- The Organs Mix gives you some of everything.
03
Your products are freeze dried. What's the difference between freeze drying and dehydrating?
Freeze-dried foodsretain the vast majority of the vitamins and mineralsfound in their original state. Freeze-dried food retains its nutrition because of the “cold, vacuum” process that is used to extract the water. Whereas, the nutritional value of dehydrated food is generally around 60% of equivalent fresh food. This loss is largely due to the heat used during dehydration which breaks down the food’s vitamins and minerals. Also, most home dehydrated products like dried fruit, meat, and vegetables have a shelf life of 1 year or less. Those same foods preserved with a freeze dryer have a15 to 25 year shelf life.
04
What is the breakdown of the Organs Formulation?
50% liver, 25% heart, 12.5% kidney and 12.5% spleen. (Spleen currently only found in the Beef Organs Bottle)
05
What are the capsules made of?
Our capsules are 100% beef gelatin.
06
Most thyroid supplements on the market are formulated to support hypothyroid conditions. Is it safe to take your thyroid health supplements if I have a hyperthyroid?
Our supplements are unique in that they support overall thyroid health by supporting it with the essential nutrients it requires through nutrient dense, whole food, regardless of whether it is "hyper" or "hypo".
07
Is it safe to take your thyroid supplements when I am already taking a selenium supplement? Do I continue to take those, or stop when I start your supplements?
The selenium that is found in our beef kidney is one of the most pure, and bioavailable forms available, as our freeze-dried organ meat capsules contain all the essential vitamins, minerals, and co-factors necessary for absorption. Absorption (versus quantity) is crucial to maintain healthy bodies, which is why obtaining our vitamins and minerals from nutrient dense foods is superior to synthetic supplements. Most customers find over time they can reduce or stop taking their synthetic supplements.
08
Will I consume too much Vitamin A by taking the full dose of your Beef Liver supplement on a daily basis?
Not at all! Vitamin A is one of the most difficult vitamins to be absorbed by the body. Research has reported that 35 to 65% of people are not meeting their recommended daily intakes. The vitamin A found in our beef liver (nature's muliti-vitamin) is one of the most pure and bioavailable forms available. Our freeze-dried organ meat capsules contain all the essential vitamins, minerals, and co-factors necessary for crucial absorption which is why nutrient dense foods are superior to synthetic supplements.
09
What is the composition of CORE3?
33.3 % each of beef liver, heart, and kidney.
10
What is the composition of STRONG?
50% beef liver, 50% heart.
11
Are your beef organs organic and free from GMOs?
Our beef organs are sourced from grass fed, grass finished cows, raised on regenerative farms in Canada that are not given antibiotics, hormones, or any GMO grains.
Also, the regenerative ranchers we source our Canadian beef from do not use glyphosate.
12
Where can I find the nutritional breakdown?
Our freeze dried beef organs contain much more than any synthetic vitamins and minerals found in typical supplements. Each one of our beef organs contains bioavailable amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and peptides that will not be found in synthetically derived alternatives.
The nutritional profiles for each product can be provided by emailing our customer support team support@higherhealths.ca.
13
Can toddlers take beef organ products?
Higher Healths believes that beef organ meats are safe and invaluable for children at any age, even toddlers. Once toddlers start eating their first solid foods, they can consume beef organs just as they would have on an ancestral diet.
In general with toddlers, we like to start with a dose of 1 capsule once or twice a day sprinkled in or on some food.( yogurt, smoothies, pureed vegetables/fruit, etc.). To preserve the freeze dried nutrients we suggest cold, or already cooked foods, as the heat may damage some bioavailable nutrients.
