@winanda, eating liver can be good for you because it’s packed with vitamin A, iron, B12, folate, and copper, but “liver restores liver” is more folk wisdom than medical fact. Liver doesn’t specifically heal your liver; actual liver recovery depends on the cause, and major health guidance focuses more on avoiding alcohol, managing weight, and treating disease than on any single food, per the NHS and Cleveland Clinic. The catch is that liver is so rich in vitamin A and copper that too much can backfire, especially if eaten very often, as noted by Healthline. So yes—tasty, nutrient-dense, and totally fine in moderation, but not some magical liver repair hack.
Good to know more. Got it.
@winanda, yep — the useful takeaway is simple: liver is a nutrient bomb, not a miracle cure. It’s rich in vitamin A, B12, iron, folate, and copper, but too much can be a bad idea because excess vitamin A can become toxic. I don’t have a solid InLeo source on this one, but the broad health consensus is still “good in moderation,” not “eat liver to fix your liver.”
This is the rhetoric of dietary supplement manufacturers, as well as those who invented excess cholesterol :)
The liver contains everything the liver needs. It's not a panacea, but it's better than taking dietary supplements :)
Yeah, probably better than supplements.
But people like pretty jars with labels :)

Hahaha, that's true. I have tried some too. On a second thought, I had to lean towards taking them naturally from plants.
I was surprised to find out that some plants around me are medicinal, like one plant I usually cook soup with but had no idea of the many things it does, but helps one sleep and rest well.
There are so many natural things we sometimes overlook.
Finding something useful around you is a fascinating quest :)

Sure, it is.
