Azure Standard
I recorded a podcast interview recently about the health benefits of consuming liver. More specifically, how we can mask the liver flavor while reaping all the benefits. I don’t have any liver in the freezer right now to make homemade beef liver supplements, so I went onto Azure Standard’s website to see if they offered any beef liver capsules.
They do! I was so pleased to find grass-fed liver capsules and have been taking them for two weeks now and love the added energy it brings to my day.
