How does Liver Extract work?

Liver extract contains vitamin B12, folic acid, and iron. In animals, it seems to increase the number of liver cells. It is not known how liver extract might work for medicinal uses in people.

Are there safety concerns?

There isn't enough information to know if liver extract is safe, but since some preparations of liver extract come from animals, there is concern about possible contamination from diseased animals.

Do not take liver extract if:

• You have problems with too much iron in your body, including a condition called hemochromatosis.
