Heart & Kidney Nutrients You Won’t Find in Muscle Meat

Why Steak Alone Isn’t Enough

Steak, chicken breast, and other muscle meats are celebrated for their protein — and rightly so. They deliver amino acids that build and repair muscle, fuel workouts, and support daily health.

But here’s the catch: muscle meat is only part of the nutritional story. If you rely on steak alone, you’re missing critical compounds that your body needs for energy, immunity, and resilience. Those nutrients live in the organs — particularly the heart and kidneys.

What Beef Heart Brings to the Table

The heart is more than just a pump — it’s a powerhouse of energy nutrients:

• CoQ10 → one of the most important nutrients for mitochondrial energy production. Supports cardiovascular health, stamina, and recovery.
• Taurine → an amino acid that aids heart function, eye health, and cellular hydration.
• B vitamins → including B2, B3, and B12, which convert food into fuel.
• Zinc → vital for hormone balance, immune defense, and recovery.

You won’t find CoQ10 or taurine in meaningful amounts in steak — they’re concentrated in the heart.

What Beef Kidney Offers

Kidneys filter blood, balance minerals, and regulate fluid — so it’s no surprise they’re loaded with unique nutrients:

• Selenium → a trace mineral critical for thyroid function, antioxidant defense, and immunity.
• Peptides → small proteins that may help regulate inflammation and support detox pathways.
• B vitamins → especially riboflavin (B2), which is essential for energy metabolism.
• Iron & copper → supporting oxygen transport and red blood cell production.

Again, selenium and organ-specific peptides are virtually absent in muscle meat.

Muscle Meat vs. Organ Nutrition

Protein

CoQ10 ✘  (heart)

Taurine ✘  (heart)

Selenium Low  (kidney)

Organ-specific peptides ✘  (kidney)

B vitamins  (higher, broader spectrum)

Muscle meats fuel the body. Organs complete the nutrition picture.

Why This Matters for Modern Health

In today’s diet, most people eat only muscle meat. That means we’re chronically missing compounds like CoQ10, taurine, and selenium — all vital for:

• Energy production
• Immune defense
• Hormone balance
• Recovery and longevity

No wonder so many turn to synthetic supplements. But the truth is, these nutrients exist naturally — in organ meats.

The Convenient Answer: Mixed Organ Powder

Most people aren’t going to cook beef heart or kidney at home. That’s why PrimalRx Bovine Organ Powder makes it easy:

• Grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine liver, heart, and kidney
• Freeze-dried to preserve delicate nutrients like CoQ10 and selenium
• Neutral-tasting powder that blends into any meal
• Whole-food nutrition you simply can’t get from steak alone

Key Takeaway

Steak is great for protein, but heart and kidney supply the unique nutrients muscle meat can’t deliver. From CoQ10 and taurine to selenium and peptides, organs complete the nutrient profile for true nose-to-tail health.
