Dessicated Liver

Does anyone else supplement their dogs with it? I was reading about the benefits of it in the book "Dogs Of Velvet And Steel". I was at a health food store today and found the tablets so I picked a bottle up to try on my pup, I wanted to get the powder, in the book it said it's cheaper and absorbs better in the body. If you use it, How much do you give your dogs? Do you feel like it's really helped your dogs?

Thanks!

 

I don't use it on dogs but I take it myself. Noticed a difference after about a week. Felt better endurance and recoverying from sprint intervals was faster inbetween sets.

 

Famous bodybuilding supplement twenty years ago. Not any more, nothing more nothing less.

 

Liver is suggested to people with anemia, if it helps them it doesn't mean it will help the same way a healthy person. Twenty+ years ago, dessicated liver was a popular supplement among human bodybuilders because they thought it would offer them an advantage, blood wise etc with results in better training and achievements. But it did nothing special and it was abbandoned in favour of milk, egg, whey and mixtures of proteins. I feel that today this product sells close to nill in humans so the next potential market are the animal feeding needs. When the barf and the other raw models, suggest usually once per week liver consumption, why someone should use this product? Is there any advantage of desicated compared to raw? if there is, I do not see it. So, unless someone for whatever reasons prefers to feed kible and only kible, and in this mentality I think it could fit in, I can not see the use of it.

 

Why not just feed raw liver?

 

Thanks for all of the responses!

Hmm. I didn't really think about that. I guess just because its cleaner than feeding raw liver would be the only advantage of it? I'm actually looking into feeding her a completely raw diet soon. But for right now she gets raw meaty bones and kibble that I supplement with Fish Oil pills and now the dessicated liver.

 

Dessicated Liver is just a supplemental vitamin. Like B vitamins,Iron etc.

Dessicated liver tabs are concentrated so you would need to eat a shit load of raw liver to equal the concentrated form. Dessicated liver is also specially processed so that it takes the bad things out of the raw liver like the fat and cholesterol etc.

In Bobs book dessicated liver has been shown in certain studies to carry that rare B-15 supp. also known as DMG, float like a butter fly sting like a bee, in which Muhammad Ali took.

As with any product/supplements, results will vary to degrees on each individual person or animal.

Imagine taking a supplement that will instantly turn you into Super man lol,There is NO magical product yet LMAO.

 

Rhaponticum will instantly turn you into Superman

 

Just asking for my edjucation and not really arguing, what is the equivalent of let's say 10 tablets to raw liver? About triple size it would be the completely hydrated form if it is not pressed / concetrated whatever, how much would it be in raw?
About cholesterol and fat, why would these be bad for a dog? Even in humans the latest studies quote that it is not the cholesterol it self that you get harmfull effects but the total fat consumption and bodyweight. Also in foods with high cholesterol nature has balanced it eg egg yolks have lecithin, squid has zero fat etc.
I am partially relactunt to accept the dessicated liver effects since I know that top human athletes do not use it anymore. Unless it is because they use more advanced supplements, not available to dogs, so even if it has inferior results, liver does add. Only thinking out loud.

 

I would be careful giving anything in a concentrated form even to people but especially to animals to much of some things (like iron) can be toxic. Unless your dog is lacking something it is usually not that beneficial.

 

I dont know the exact amounts or raw liver converted to dessicated tablet form but as with most concentrated supps its usually way more then the raw form. Im sure there are charts or articles on line that roughly convert certain foods percentages into supplement forms.

Too much Cholesterol and fat is not good for anyone, there are also good fats and bad fats but I aint going into that lol.
Example lets say 1 serving of beef liver is equal to one tablet of dessicated liver. Now lets say each serving of the beef liver has 78mg of cholesterol. Now the usual most commen dose for dessicated liver is around 10 tablets a day. So you times the 78mg by 10 which equals=780mg per day, that is a shit load of cholesterol, now lets say you taking that amount every day imagine how high ya cholesterol gonna be in a month? lol That is unhealthy for ANYONE. AND if your conditioning goal is too keep ya weight down eating 10 servings of beef liver a day is gonna be a hard challenge. Athletes take supplements mainly to keep there body well norished with out the bad effects like gaining weight and some of that bad unhealthy secondary shit associated with natural foods.

Now does dessicated liver work? Like I said it will vary from each individual person or animal and even each individual brand of Dessicated liver.

Like I said before there is no miracle or magical supplement that will give you instantaneous results and turn you into Super man. Here's a joke This skinny dude went into a bodybuilding gym ask the biggest dude there who was bench pressing 600lbs how he came that strong, the bodybuilder replied steroids, skinny dude said ok then he left, he came back the next day and said to the body builder I took some steroids Im ready to bench that 600lbs LMAO ROTF.

 

TASOSCHATZ is correct.
No offence to you but these views on fat and and cholesterol are 20 yrs out of date.
And as already said the supplement you are looking for is 'Rhaponticum'.

 

LMAO what a retard

 

Cholesterol is cholesterol it hasnt changed in 20 yrs LMAO. Why you think there is so much obese people today? lol

So you saying Rhaponticum will change Peewee herman into Mr. Olympia over night? LMAO

 

try redcell

 

I tried to be polite about your ignorance you f*ckin cock.

Cholesterol is a sterol that is a vital component of cell membranes and a precursor of sex hormones, adrenal hormones, Vitamin D, and bile acids. Bad choloestrol has nothing what so ever to do with the level of cholesterol in food, it is elevated by stress.

Fat has no effect on insulin.
Insulin converts dietary fat to storage and removes fat from the blood and transports it into fat cells.

The percentage of fat in the diet has no connection with any major health outcome, including obesity.

Rhaponticum while not being able to turn Pee Wee Herman into Mr. Olympia overnight or even develop you a second brain cell, it is natural and actually more anabolic than Dianabol.

Now what kind of c*nt comes on here talking shit about a subject that they have no knowledge on and calling other forum members retards.

As it is Sunday if you would like to copy and paste a load of shit of the internet on subjects that you know nothing about I would be quite happy to tell you what is correct and what is correct.

 

My Igorance? LMAO

So you saying cholesterol comes from stress huh? LMAO

So Fatty foods dont make people fat huh? LMAO Must come from eating all them Vegetables? LMAO

Steroids/Supplements again aint no miracle pill it WONT make you super human LMAO.

Seems like you the one that has no knowledge RETARD LMAO

I aint copy and past shit, unlike you ya dumb fool LMAO , and you have the nerve to tell me whats correct? LMAO

Life is like a box of chocolates no matter which one ya get you will still always be retarded YAS LMAO.
